did you know that dolphins are just gay sharks?

The Angel ep 13 I downloaded last week is corrupt. Sound works fine but the picture freezes after a few seconds.

Note to self: let file play for more than a few seconds to check if it works.

Worked 7 hours today, between building management place (pretending to be a receptionist at a dozen different organisations) and weightloss company (sitting in office with harbour view cutting ads out of old newspapers).

Money is good, money is good, money is good, money is good...

Rose called yesterday, they needed a receptionist today. And it was busy. 8:30 to lunch at 1:30pm, I didn't have a break, and the phones were flat out. After lunch was much more normal.

Well, at about 11:30, it wasn't too busy (comparatively), so I pulled out my morning tea, a banana, which I figure I'll sneakily eat at my desk while the phones are quiet and no one is around. Just as I've peeled it, the elevator doors open and out wanders a camera crew from a current affairs show. I play "hide the banana and look responsible", but luckily, it turns out that they are here for a pre-arranged interview with CEO, and not doing a foot in the door expose. About an hour later, I'm plowing through calls and messages and stuff, trying to concentrate while they get establishing shots of CEO in foyer and standing in front of the reception desk, watching what I'm doing. I did hear the camera guy talking about panning along to a certain point, and stopping before they get to me, and I bloody hope that ended up being the case.

The good news is, I'm going in for two hours tomorrow, so that I can be trained to look after the company website next week, when C is away. That'll be 20-25 hours of work, afternoons only. Grunt work mostly, but more fun than reception (which isn't hard, admittedly), and is more related to what I actually want to be doing.

No, I haven't become a gambler, I'm working this afternoon while everyone in this office goes to a Melbourne Cup party.

So pretty much I'm gonna get paid to answer the phone and take messages, and surf the net. Cool :)

get screwed over.

*sigh*

I was going to be good today, and do the shopping/banking/letter-and-resume-writing that I need to do.

Just after nine am, as I finish some shopping lists and am about to go out, Rose calls and asks me if I can work today. I am powerless to the lure of money, and so am at work now, rather than getting things on my mammoth "To Do" list done. I'm so weak (plus, they were really short staffed). At least I got the banking done on my way to work.
