Daytime TV Discoveries...

Whilst on holidays, lounging leisurely in front of the idiot box trying to dodge talk shows, I discovered that Metamucil comes in tablet form now.

(Not suppository-form, McTavish.)

I've never seen the ad for Metamucil tablets on night time TV so I wonder if it's a little secret for daytime television watching folk only.

Are 9 to 5ers (7 to 3ers, 11 to 7ers, whatever) not entitled to the more easily ingested pill?

Must they endure the original or orange flavour? (Now about orange flavour... that deserves it's own blog at a later date)

And about the smooth texture business... Even the woman on the ad seems to be gagging! How smooth can it be?

Anyway, for all of you who haven't been privy to the secret Metamucil tablets, here's the heads up.

>:o)

One more thing...

They finally fixed the glass at the front entrance.

The building maintenance guy came on Tuesday and swept up the mess and then some glaziers came yesterday and replaced the broken pane.

I'm surprised the morons didn't test the strength of the new glass last night. They were, however, running around slamming their own windows shut screaming 'Hurricane Rita's here!!!' because we had a thunderstorm last night.

*shakes head*

And a big shout out to...

CAROL!!!!

Happy Birthday, sissypants!!!

Did someone say, 'Shots and pots!'?!?!?!?!?

Break out the Cuervo Gold and Jagermeister...

I'm ba-ack.....

Well, I'm back from Annual Leave. I've had the past week off and have been enduring dial-up hell hence the lack of posts. It took me about half an hour to get those Girl Bar photos up. Crikey.

So, it's back to the grindstone... I wonder where everyone else is...

"And on Thursday, we also have to... Why aren't you writing this down???"

Bob & Nev, the morning after.

ARGH!

Blogger.com is making me very angry... It's not letting me upload all the happy snaps I took on Friday night. It's probably my lousy dial-up connection.

Anyway, I'll keep trying...

Meanwhile, the glass in the entry hall still hasn't been cleaned up. And someone has added their KFC rubbish to the pile.

IDIOTS!!!

And they didn't even clean it up afterwards...



Bogans. Absolute bogans.

They smashed the glass at around 7pm last night. This photo was taken at 8am.

When animals live in buildings....

They think it's really clever to bounce their footy up against a GLASS PANE and when it smashes, they're surprised.

Some of you have had to endure me whinging about my upstairs neighbours for a while now... This is proof that I'm not just a cranky old, intolerant woman. They are morons.

One more sleep!!!

And I'm on holidays for a week! YAY!!!

I have no plans to do anything or go anywhere... I just don't want to come to work for a week. Is that so much to ask?!?!?!

Actually, I do have one thing to do and that's work out how to use my Creative Micro Zen mp3 player. It's been sitting there for months going 'Use me... ditch the shuffle... come on!'

The darn thing is just so much heavier than the shuffle!

Anyway... counting down... 9 hours to go.

The end of an era

Everyone else (in Australia) is writing about it so I'm going to as well.

Australia lost the Ashes last night. Game over, red rover.

It's a travesty.

But really, did *anyone* expect Australia to score 342 runs in 18 overs before play was called off due to bad light and a draw declared? That's a run rate of 19 runs per over! Are they INSANE?

The things you do...

Well, well, well... Last night was the Careers Expo at the University of Melbourne. This 'event' was hosted by the student club of the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning. James and I went along to, I suppose, market our company to future quantity surveyors.

I'll tell you what, two hours of meeting and greeting after already being at work for 9 hours just isn't what the doctor ordered. And these shoes weren't meant for standing in.

Fortunately, I made an early decision not to put any of my business cards out on the table because I'm sure I'd have a lot more to complain about once the influx of CVs comes in, closely followed by the follow-up phone calls.

To top it all off, as I was trying to get home, I was threatened with a $100 fine for walking on the tram tracks! Ok... Admittedly, I was in a tram marshalling area but really, if they don't want people mistakingly walking into that area, maybe they should close off the fencing. Anyway, I just kept walking and said, 'Sorry, not from these parts!' They can't fine you if they can't be bothered walking after you!

I reckon it's a very clever ploy of Yarra Trams or Metlink or whoever it is to generate revenue by building a tram depot right outside a university where there are many foreign students. Imagine how many $100 fines are issued per day... Amazing.
