anyway
Started work for the first time this year on 16th March. Felt like joining a completely new company. In fact the first day i went into the office (a week or so later) people gave me funny looks cos mostly the staff turnover meant I hadn't met any of them before. One guy spent three days smiling at me intently then came over on Friday 30th and sai, "Hi I'm... you must be new here." to which I smiled, bit my tongue to avoid being rude and said "actually I've worked here a while I just normally work from home." Bless, I didn't have the heart to say I'd been here for four years. That week, we went for a pub quiz after work on the Tuesday-we came second. On the Wednesay we went to Flatline which wasn't bad and I got to catch up with my mate Rob who I don't get to see a whole lot. Nights like that make you realise how much you miss your mates and how isolated I have become of late.
Thursday Jo and I went to Wembley to see My Chemical Romance. Superb. They have such energy and a whole bundle of talent. We had to sit as I wasn't well enough to stand for the show but from up in the seated area it was like watching a condutor leading his twisted orchestra and the crowd were like puppets. Even without all the gimmicks (flames, confetti, a hospital gurney etc) the show would have been phenomenal. The second part of the show with tracks off of 3 cheers proved just that. Charged with electricity the songs went off like a bang and the crowd remained enthralled. Never seen so many people singing the same words at the same time and with such enthusiasm.
Friday, tired but pretty chilled I went for the team kick off event. The day started ok to be honest but then someone came over and asked the girl I was talking to if they could see her ultrasound picture and I kinda fell apart. I felt really terrible that I had stolen that moment from her but I did manage to get as far as the toilets before blubbering. Took me half an hour to pull myself together, I could have really done with a mental/physical slap. I got back into the conference room and my pregnant friend starts trying to apologise which was really unnecessary and very sweet but it made me start up all over again. Funny once you have cried it's so easy to start again you just can't seem to hold it back. So basically I spent the afternoon with red eyes and various colleagues asking me if I was ok.
Glad to get home after all of that!
