6.30pm
it looks like i am going to melbourne in
september! woohoo! even better is the fact that
my uni is going to pay for me to go! *dances*
i signed up as a member of one of the two teams
the chemical engineering department at uni is
sending to a conference in september. at the
moment there are about 35 or so of us going, but
some people are sure to drop out later on. we are
all looking at this as a great opportunity for a
four day, university funded piss up. the idea of
us all going to the casino on the first night and
each gambling a required amount of $$$ has
already been tossed up. any winnings then go to
the 'beer fund.' the university will decide if
they are going to fly us down once they know how
many of us are definitely going. if there are too
many of us, then it looks like a road trip may be
the go. i'm kinda hoping we have to drive. road
trips are tops!
to qualify to go to the conference we have to
design and build a small car that runs on a
chemical reaction. my group's idea is to power
the car's motor using an electrolytic cell with a
stop switch that also utilises another chemical
reaction. all we know is that our car will have
to complete a course of somewhere between 15 and
30m. thus, there must be some sort of provision
made to enable us to adjust how far the car goes.
i can see the competition is going to be a real
challenge, especially considering how busy i will
be next semester, but i will do anything for a 4
day trip to melbourne with a large group of
fellow pissereds. i can only imagine the hijinks
that will be had. *giggles at the thought*
i
think i am going stir crazy or insane or
something. once again, the proof lies with msn:
specialK: oi bitch
specialK: get over here with my
beer
specialK: *cries* talk to
meeeeeeeeeeeeee... this is not good for my
needing to feel loved complex!
specialK: hey bitch, are you
going to make me go over there and slap you?
specialK: NICK!
specialK: stop ignoring
meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
specialK: *sobs*
specialK: *lavish attention on
moi!*
specialK: *walks away sullenly,
pouting*
specialK: *remorseful glance
over the right shoulder*
specialK: *bows head and keeps
walking*
this conversation with myself occurred over a
space of about 10 minutes. i was then
disconnected and got a message that none of the
above had in fact been delivered to nick. he
wasn't ignoring me, it was msn being a biatch.
specialK: omg msn sux
specialK: i just wrote all this
stuff and then i got dissed and i come back and
it says like the last 10 mins of stuff was not
delivered!
specialK: sdflknaslf
superboi nicky: eeeeeeeek
specialK: i thought you were
being a bitch and ignoring me
specialK: it was all quite funny
actually, but the moment has passed...
superboi nicky: hehehe no way
specialK: but can you still
bring me a beer, bitch? and the remote too while
you are there.
specialK: lol
specialK: *chuckles to herself*
specialK: im so funny
specialK: and i am going to
maintain the sullen look on my face
specialK: just because i dont do
it often enough
superboi nicky: lol riiiiiiight
specialK: haha seee if msn
wasn't such a bitch you would know what i was
talking about
specialK: but sadly....
specialK: my humour has been
lost on everyone but myself
specialK: *weird mood* can you
tell?
superboi nicky: hehhehe
specialK: hmmm its no fun now
that i can't call you a bitch and tell you to
fetch me beer
specialK: it was more fun when i
actually thought you were ignoring me
superboi nicky: hahahhahaha
i know what you are thinking (other than the fact
that i am a funny bugger :P) - "that nick
guy doesn't talk much." he was probably
looking at porn at the time, so that's why this
appears to be the case. i swear he is usually
capable of a proper 2-way conversation. (:P nick)
actually, i think that whole conversation (?)
occured out of tiredness. another friend asked me
if i was drunk, but i swear i did not imbibe any
alcohol last night. yeah, tiredness is the
reason. i was so tired that i stayed up on the
internet until almost 3am, all the while thinking
that i didn't have to be at work until 11am. it
wasn't until i went to set my alarm that i
realised i had to in fact be at work at 9am.
ouch. wasn't happy bout that.
speaking
of alcohol, i have been having many cravings for
wine lately. a couple of times i have indulged in
a bottle of wine to myself while i sit alone in
my room. i have now, however, decided this is sad
and pathetic and shall occur no longer. upon
telling a friend of my lone drinking efforts, he
said, "kate, the only other person i know who
drinks alone like that is ben."
this freaked me out, for as much as i love benny,
i trully do not want to end up with liver
problems.
so i have decided to no longer drink alone and to
only get pissed in public! :D
omg!
we had the worst customer in the store today!!
(for those who do not know, i work in a women's
clothing store. one of those australia wide chain
type ones) it was this old (read: slow) guy who
always comes to our store to buy uniforms for the
girls who work for him. he is really, really
annoying.
every time he comes in to find a uniform he
always picks something we have had in for ages
and is really hard to source from other stores.
then he changes his mind about 5 times, only to
decide he liked the original one best. my boss
actually said to him on thursday "i hope you
aren't going to return these" after he
purchased a number of suede shirts. he did. i had
to deal with him yesterday.
then today, he came in again. i deliberately
avoided him and made our junior, courtney, deal
with him. she was with him for over an hour!
meanwhile, we had a million people in the shop,
but did he care? hell no! he just kept on being
indecisive and demanding we try to find him
shirts that we knew would be almost impossible to
find (he asked courtney to ring shops in
queensland, but soon decided that wasn't such a
crash hot idea when i informed him he would have
to pick them up himself as they were not allowed
to transfer to us). but what are you supposed to
do when the customer is always right? i told
courtney she should have just point blank told
him that it would be impossible to find the
things he was after and that she could not
justify spending money on phone calls for him for
that reason.
*argh*
i declare this man as
usually-pleasant-and-helpful-shop-assistant enemy
#1, and as such i refuse to deal with him again.
go and buy your uniforms somewhere else, buddy!
we don't need you and your unreasonable demands!
i
reorganised all my cd's yesterday. well, i
started on thursday and finished yesterday. i was
unable to complete the task on thursday as i ran
out of cd stackers and had 150 cds with no home.
you should have seen me trying to carry 3 60 cd
holder thingies through a crowded shopping
center. i looked like a right doofus, bumping
into stuff everywhere.
now, i know i teased nick about his
organisational skills when it comes to cd
storage, but i am no where near as much of a
pedant as he is, so it is all cool and i have not
actually succumbed to his rigidly evil ways. i
only did it because i found i was often losing
cds and i never knew where to find most cds when
i went to play one. honestly.
so, they are arranged alphabetically by band name
in 9 60 cd holder thingies. my bedroom looks like
a giant shrine to cd's. too bad when they become
obsolete... i will then own i giant pile of
useless crap.

quote of the day: i have contemplated
chaining up my laptop such that i cannot use it,
but that would just make me horny and i would
then have to attempt to seduce it.
that was me on needing to ween myself from the
internet in order to start doing some study for
my exams.
ok, gotta go! big brother is on!
