OK, Friday didn't go exactly to plan in the end although in a good way. As it was our last day in our old building we decided to go bid our farewells to the Old Monk at lunchtime so at about 12:30 most of us moseyed down. At about 1:00pm our boss turned up (Mike) which is almost unheard of because he's insanely busy so we were really pleased to see him. We sat and drank and chatted and had a laugh for a while and then someone looked at their watches (because the drink had run out and the whip round all been spent) and noticed that it was 4:00pm. This was mentioned to the group upon which Mike said "Lets have one last round"! So we ended up not coming back from the pub until 4:50! As you can imagine, I was quite sozzled by this point. I packed up my desk as quick as poss and then headed off. Got home and decided that I was now too drunk to cook so bullied Alex into buying us pizzas and the guys came over to play cheapass games. Unfortunately I wasn't really in a fit state to actually take part but I did enjoy watching.
Nice lay in on Saturday followed by a bit of leisurely shopping and then nice dinner before dispatching Alex off to see Rock of Travolta at the Zodiac while I settled down to some nice MCSE revision. Yeah I know I'm boring but its got to be done. If they can't give me working from home then I'm not sticking around here, nice as the new office is. Maybe its a good thing - I was having trouble motivating myself to get the exams done again - Microsoft is so dull.
Sunday was another nice lay in followed by broccoli and chicken cheese for lunch which is one of my favorites. I haven't done it for ages but it went just right and the sauce thickened up and everything. Sat and enjoyed a bottle of white with Alex and then he went off to do some housekeeping while I watched Buffy - which is looking very good again at the moment - finishing up with the musical episode which rocked. Then unfortunately my brother rang and we were so busy chatting (he's getting a water cooled PC after Xmas apparently :) ) that I didn't notice that it was 6:30 and I was supposed to be at Alex's that instant. I grabbed coat and purse and broke my personal speed record for the journey between our houses - 10mins! Unfortunately I hadn't managed to remember my mobile phone so wasn't able to warn him of my late arrival but it all worked out OK and we went in to see GhostWorld.
I have to say that I wasn't very impressed with GhostWorld. The main character was staggeringly immature and didn't seem to mature at all during the film but was given a get out instead. Plus she was incredibly self centred - she didn't seem to care at all that she completely ruined someones life. Bits of it were quite fun but overall, not a particular recommendation
At least I finally made it along to the library for OUSFG after weeks of only getting to the pub though. It was really nice to see the guys again and I'm quite looking forward to the party next weekend - should be a riot. The only problem is that I haven't started working on my costume yet so I might not be able to sort it out as I'd like it. I was going to go as Rose Tattoo but I might end up wussing out and going as Jenny Sparks - we'll have to see.
