Gosh. Still not updating much. I got proper chewed out at work after the last update though - my team leader had noticed me being online far too much (he said msn but I think it may have been me updating this as the semagic interface has my picture in the bottom right corner same as msn does) So I've turned off msn during the day. it was quite helpful really - I got to be extremely honest about how demotivated I am by the crappy tasks they give me to fill the time between real work - how I felt cheated that I was employed as an oracle dba and in fact don't ever do any oracle dbaing becasue bloody sap does it all for us - I also told him that I had been thinking of leaving and had only recently changed my mind due to the impending switch over of the trading systems to oracle - that's going to be big and going to change the nature of my job entirely, with training and certification on the cards.
so i didn't quit my job
Adam came round on Saturday afternoon to talk to me about taekwondo and my declaration that I wanted to quit last week. He was a lot less negative to me than I thought he would be. I think he was letting me stew because he knew I'd change my mind. oddly enough he was saying a lot ogf the same stuff as my team leader was on thursday. Damn I'm easy to psychoanalyse. Apparently (and both of them said this) I appear to be afraid of being good at something because of the stuff that brings with it. probably right. anyway the upside is that I'll be back at taekwondo on Tuesday but not taking my black belt in April.
so I didn't quit taekwondo either. 2 for 2.
other than that the weekend was mostly good (although saturday afternoon was a bloody washout and nothing got done) Wendyhouse seemed to be good but my recollections are hazy - the sari worked and the tikka didn't fall about too much. I haven't developed blood poisoning from the cheap jewellery set I got to match the sari and my hair hasn't fallen out from my trip to the hairdressers on saturday morning. Win! Last night was a bit quiet - but this sort of thing is generally expected the day after the wendyhouse though and it was nice to catch up with lil.
I shall leave you with:

be there! I'm gonna get iccle chicks* and mini eggs a plenty.
* not -real- ones
