Excited (and slightly delicate)

Not long til our trip now! I am getting very excited and dying to get going. I have quite frankly had enough of the office and i am desperate for a break! My manager is getting snipey with me, and one of my reps has annoyed me no end. I've pretty much run out of work so i'm stuck just staring at the screen, which is frustrating. Definately time for a holiday methinks!!!! Naidel floated a suggestion that instead of just going for a month we should go for a year. You know what, right now that doesnt seem such a bad idea. It'd jump at the chance if i didnt have commitments like my job and my degree back home :( Meh. I'm sure i'll feel better once i've landed in sunny Portugal and all my worries are behind me! Speaking of feeling better, it appears that i have fallen prey to the office sickness bug :( I woke up early hours this morning feeling distinctly wobbly, and my stomach is all tight and painful :( Thankfully its only a 24 hr bug, so i should feel better later... i hope.....

Brrrr!

It is unseasonably chilly today, to the point where i have the heater under my desk on! One of the advisers is insisting on having the window wide open which isnt helping :( Not to mention the building work going on right outside the office. The drilling is hurting my head! Bah. I'm not gurmpy, honest. Just ever so slightly agitated. I am beginning to resent being in the office when i could be at home with my Naidel (i hate leaving him in bed in the mornings, sooooo not fair). I'm sure i'll feel better after my holiday. You're bound to feel resentful after your bosses change their mind about giving you a promotion, right? I've been in an 'Admin Meeting' all morning, which is usually 10 minutes of discussing actual work issues, 10 minutes of someone getting openly told off and humiliated, and half an hour of chatting. Today was mostly spent discussing Emma's wedding. Well, i say discussing, she was talking, the others were listening, and Sam and I were rolling our eyes. I'm not bitter, just a bit sick of hearing about it. Its two years away for goodness sake, theres no need to go and buy the dress and bridesmaids dresses straight away! And orange is a VILE colour for bridesmaids dresses. So there. Sorry, she annoys me when shes not planning the wedding of the century, so you can imagine how much she irritates me right now!
In other news, i shall be off on my hols soon with my dearest Naidel :) I'm mostly packed, just a couple of bits and pieces left to get. We're going out with some friends tonight to celebrate my birthday early, which will be nice. I'm quite looking forward to waking up next to my Naidel on my birthday, with the sun shinning through the window and not having to get up :) Also it shall be our 4 year anniversary. It doesnt seem that long ago that we first met! I guess when you think about, we've gone though a lot together over the last four years, and i wouldn't trade him for the world :) After all, no-one else would put up with me :)

Hmph.

Well, not long to go now. Soon i shall be off in sunnier climes, trekking through mountains and attempting to sleep in a very small tent without irritating my boyfriend. I managed to get both components of my ECA finished yesterday, so thats a weight of my mind at least. Got most of the packing done yesterday and did a map and compass 101 with Naidel so if i do the inevitable and get lost we can find each other again. Just wanna get going now!
I am annoyed this morning as i have just found out i am not getting my new job after all :( The directors have decided that it will be easier to stay with their current PA's than train a new one :( So i am stuck in the same office with the same job :( Not happy :(
Sooner i get away on holiday the better.

Loved up

I had the most wonderful night with my Naidel last night :) I am so loved up i'm practically glowing! We went to see 'The Bourne Ultimatum', which wasn't too bad a film (made much more interesting by Naidel's comments about how these action heroes never get inappropriately-timed lavatory issues...). Then we went for dinner, which we didnt finish because we'd eaten far too many sweeties in the cinema! Then after that we checked into a hotel. It was wonderful waking up in his arm this morning :) Breakfast was delivered to our room, but it was a very odd breakfast. The pastries had some weird custard crap in the middle, and they forgot my yoghurt :( Got three pots of honey though, which made their way into my bag and then into my food draw at work......
It was just so nice sitting in bed, eating my breakfast and watching crap morning TV with the man i love. He even left me a little mesage on the mirror in the bathroom :) You have no idea how much i resented having to get dressed and leave that room to come to work this morning!!!! Then when i did get to work, i finished all of it by 10am and have now been forced to sit on reception all morning. Oh well, its a good opportunity for me to do my assignments without being told off for not doing my work!!!

Too much autumn, not enough summer

Its cold, raining and dark. I'm sick of it being all autumny when it should be summery :( The sooner im off on my hols the better, at least it'll be warm and sunny (i hope...).
Naidel came home this weekend, and home for good (or for the next year at least). Its really wonderful having him home, i missed him so much! He hasnt changed much, still the same Naidel, but with a smidge more confidence, and something else i cant quite put my finger on.....maturity maybe? Unfortunately i had to leave him in our nice warm bed this morning to venture out into the cold to come to work :( We spent lots of time together this weekend, which was really great, and we're both looking forward to out trip away together (not long now!!!).
I'm still attempting to finish the dreaded assignments. I can't seem to shift this horrific writers block, its awful! I've only got just over a week to complete them all and send them off, and im really bricking it! I can't afford to fail!!! I managed to get an idea and the beginnings of TMA 5 sorted (granted it is the recycling of the first DnD game i ever played, but it works so why worry) so at least thats going somewhere. I think i have an idea for the life writing part of the ECA, but im completely stumped on the fiction part! Its the whole 'short story' aspect - completely daunts me! Hopefully i'll come up with something soon *sulks* :(
