It’s Fridaaaaaaay. This week went by stupidly fast. I vividly remember those feelings of post-weekend blues and suddenly we’re back round again. I’m not sure this is a good thing to be rushing through life so quickly…But who cares because it’s Fridaaaaay!
I’m afraid this post is going to be a collection of randomocities. Not a word? Don’t care.
Randomocity #1: I work in a shared office block so there are other companies sharing the building. So there’s a lot of people I don’t know floating about the place (and stealing my mug, AGAIN). However, I know for a fact that someone famous has a sibling who works in one of the offices [I won’t reveal the famous person as I don’t think that’s fair on them]. Anyway, I went to get a drink and that person (not the famous person, the sibling) was there and they were talking to someone else and they mentioned their famous-sibling’s name. Does it make me a bad person that I took a lot longer at making my drink purely to hear this unadulterated bit of gossip? OK, it wasn’t actually that good but it was quite nice to hear about a famous person spoken in such a way that only a family-member could speak about them. Sorry that’s vague. Imagine: “Oh Brad now lives there with Angie” kind thing.
Randomocity #2: Do you have a person at work who is just annoying to everyone? So annoying it’s awkward. They don’t realise no one cares about their ‘ever so fascinating life’ and they do that lingering thing where they expect you to comment and acquiesce on their amazingness. Then you do that nodding thing while smiling and there’s an awkward silence and they’re STILL stood there.
Randomocity #3: I love to listen to depressing music sometimes just because sometimes it’s nice to feel a bit melodramatically sad. Lana Del Ray, Damien Rice…all good sources for melodrama. I think this also goes hand-in-hand with watching films that you know make you cry: City of Angels (all she did was go and buy pears…*sobs*) and Time Traveller’s Wife are perfect examples for me.
Randomocity #4: I am excited about the next three consecutive meals. Dinner tonight is meatballs. Breakfast tomorrow is oatmeal (OK I am always excited about this). And tomorrow’s lunch is Nando’s with friends. I love me some chicken!
Randomocity #5: My oatmeal sludge (aka savoury oatmeal) looks a lot better in a bowl.
Randomocity #6: Today I had an appointment with a physiotherapist as my knee has been painful while running. I find it amazing that she looks at the bottom of my running shoes and can judge how I run by the wear on the bottom. In my eyes it’s like reading tea leaves! I am always so impressed about how good these people are at diagnosing things. Thankfully she said it wasn’t serious, gave me a sports massage (so painful but so good) and has given me some exercises to do (apparently I have a very tight quad). And I can still run! Woohoo. Just no more stupid running.
Tonight Ben and me are looking forward to an evening of yummy meat balls and we’ve also bought some Ben and Jerry’s for an ice cream and movie night. The film of choice is Looper. The ‘ice cream’ is the Frozen Yogurt Chocolate Brownie – my absolute favourite. Ben has gone for the Vermonster – yeah like we were going to share!!
What are your plans for this weekend?
What’s your favourite Ben and Jerry’s?
Have you got a randomocity you wish to share?
Oh I hope you enjoy Looper- we started watching it the other week but I gave up and Andy finished it on his own another time. Not sure why (I am not a fan of time travel films) but it just didn’t grab me really.
Ice cream sounds good though!
Good news about the running 🙂
Looper definitely gave me a headache but I quite enjoyed it! Good ending I thought. And the ice cream was superb obviously hehe.
Looks like you have a fun weekend planned!! I’m so glad your knee is ok! You know how I feel about injuries…
Also we totally have a lady at work who will just stand by your desk and talk and talk and talk for hours. It’s so annoying and everyone makes jokes about it but she’s a bit old and is always talking about her grandkids so you can’t say anything, obviously. Sometimes I wish she would just shut up though!! Haha!
Injuries suck. Honestly I wouldn’t normally be so keen on getting things checked out but we’re very lucky to have a physiotherapist who works in one of the shared offices so my excuses are limited!
Haha office politics are always so interesting!
I like all the randomness! I work in the TV industry, so sometimes I hear ‘celebrities’ getting mentioned: I also wait about to hear the goss! The chocolate frozen yogurt is my fab too, not as rich as the ice cream version, although I do like trying the more unusual ones they have now, such as apple pie!
Oooh your job sounds very exciting! Yeah I know what you mean about the fro-yo B&Js, it’s easier to eat more 😀
Sounds like you had a good night planned! I work in a very small office and there is just 5 of us but we had one woman that was so rude! Luckily she left but it was tough in such a small team. Oh and if anyone uses my mug there is hell on! 😉
Wow if there are only 5 of you the office dynamics must be quite delicate. And pretty obvious when soeone uses your mug haha.
I hate it when anyone uses my cupcake mug at work. It’s the only mug that I ever use so it’s pretty obvious that it’s mine 🙂 Your oats look fab!
I love that you have a cupcake mug, so fitting hehe 🙂
haha I love how you call your oatmeal “sludge”- hilarious. Also let me know what you thought of Looper!
Well it looked like sludge haha.
Looper was brilliant. Loved it. Such a clever story. But definitely a head ache!
