Things I Loathe:
- The fact that I have to clean up the mess made by lawyers who left 4 years ago
- The BO of colleagues late in the afternoon
- Wanting to have a significant other - I'm meant to be an empowered, liberated single woman, dammit. A related problem is developing crushes on inappropriate people - either because they are attached or completely wrong for me.
- People finally deciding that yes, in fact, I was right in the first place. Normally this gives me a glorious sense "I told you so", but in this instance the delay in a certain person realising my rightness has been 2 months and caused a whole lot of headache. Hurumph.
- Not having endless money to buy clothes and furniture for my house. I must stop reading design*sponge and Apartment Therapy... they only make me jealous that I am not as trendy.
- Not being able to make any progress on the fitness front, thanks to a stellar combination of time/motivation/willpower poverty.
Things I Love:
- My parents for sending me flowers. I've never had flowers delivered to work before - I blushed like anything.
- Yellow tulips (see above).
- The second hand book store across the road from work, which feeds my addiction in an affordable manner.
- Not being completely panicked at work. There is so much stuff I am not getting to, and not managing to complete, but I've sort of just given in.
- My filing coding stamp - it makes a little box, next to which it says "FILE No". It feeds my deep emotional need for order and my love for labelling and stationary. I blame it on my (very vague) German ancestry.
- Having good people around me.
- Sunny days = fresh basil.
- Clear skies and red earth.
