It's all gonna be ok...

ok, i give up.... I've got the message. I will now try to stop complaining all the time.

I complain about my job.
I pray about my job.
Millions of amazing oppourtunities appear all at once, and people are nice to me at work.

coincidence? I don't think so....


Coupled with that some of my course mates were emailing round Christmas greetings today. I think I've got it far better than I thought. Very few people seem thrilled by their jobs, but I haven't been asked to take a pay cut, threatened with redundancy, or become completely and utterly demotivated. See, I'm only slightly demotivated, and even that seems to be changing since this praying thigy wotsit...

when will I learn? God answers prayer. I know that. I tell other people to pray! I should really listen to my own advice that little bit sooner shouldn't I! Ah well, better late than never I guess!

WOOHOO!

How cool is God?

Just had the best confession! :-)

God is generally cool.

murder mystery

I am my own person! I am not my mother! I am not Charlie! I am individual! Unique! So it was perhaps unfortunate that at Jen’s murder mystery party I bumped into Charlie for the first time in…err…. When did I last see her..? I’ve a horrible feeling it might have been Greg’s funeral… surely I’ve seen her between then and now.. How did that happen..?

Anyway…. We were both playing men in the murder systery. (I was meant ot be camp. I didn't find it to hard to let my feminine side show through)We both have fancy new phones. The same phones. On the same contract. Having left the same contracts with our old phone companies at the same time(which incidentally were the same company last time too) . The new phones have the same ring tone. Ok, as if that wasn’t bad enough we’re both taking the same time off work etc for Christmas, and both played best friends in the party….

The fact that we can be so similar just highlights how different we are in so many other respects. When we were at school it didn’t surprise people when we did similar things at the same time. But now that we’re still doing it despite rarely seeing each other is a bit more random. You can tell we grew up together. It’s kinda weird. She took life one way. I took another. As paths go they’re not so different. Just one involves God, and one involves security guards. Maybe one day she’ll come back to the God side of things. She herself will tell you that God hasn’t given up on her. Even she can see it... acting on it, now there's another concept entirely...

So that was an interesting evening. Good fun though. Steve did it! It was him! Ahem.

Energy consuption...

Part of my job at work is to publicise and encourage recycling and minimise energy usage in our offices. This means that from time to time lucky members of stuff get the lucky treat of getting a post it notes on their monitors reminding them that they should really switch them off overnight.

One colleague has been leaving his monitor on every night for the last few weeks. Today he has informed me that it’s so that we can have that moment together. Isn’t that sweet.

Speaking of sweets he sys he’s going to leave me sweets to eat while I write the post it notes in future.

I can’t help but feel that the message hasn’t quite got across about energy consumption….

holepunches have feelings...

The holepunch hates me. And now it’s got the paper on side. I’m feeling got at. The holepunch won’t cup the paper, and without fail whenever it does I manage to get a paper cut. It’s all out to get me.

Sympathetic colleagues are of course helping the issue… (ST transcript)

Mary Wells : the holepunch hates me
Clare : i can understand that
Clare : ooops no i didn't say that
Clare : poor mary
