I've Had A Defining Moment... Y'know Like Moses Did

Only mine was thanks to Bon Jovi who is a god of sex in his own right - I mean just look at that fine hunk of burning love pictured above.... sorry I'm wandering. Anyway I was feeling somewhat sorry for myself. I don't know why considering I've pulled off the most amazing coup yesterday re Kylie tickets. Wohoo!! Anyway to lift my mood I use music. Usually very loud music.

So here I was listening to Bon Jovi's entire back catalogue when I got to the very last song of about the 75th album - ok I jest but it kinda felt that way by this point. It was his "Have A Nice Day" album. I always play my songs on shuffle/random whatever you want to call it & song 3 of said album came up; Welcome to Wherever You Are. By this point I had heard enough Bon Jovi to sink a battleship so I was subconciously filtering him out & not really hearing the songs. Then suddenly an amazing thing happened.

Just when I was feeling the most depressed I have felt in at least three years, the ingenious line "when you want to give up & your heart wants to break, remember that your perfect, God makes no mistakes" sung by Bon Jov's dulcet gravel tones resounding nice & clear in ears. Which came as a slight shock considering prior to it I had filtered him out to such a degree I could barely hear him.

Anyway said line struck a cord with me & I realise I'm a fabulous person & I'm going to be much more positive about life & most of all I'm going to love myself more (no pun intended) So thats it. Moses had his burning bush (again no pun intended) I had Bon Jovi. Thought I'd share that with you.

Ciao for now

Legends of Music No: 2 Kylie

OMFG! Im going to see Kylie Minogue in Newcastle on 21st July next year. I can't believe I managed to get tickets! Im so excited!! Ok so I don't adore Kylie as such but its for the same reasoning as Dolly Parton as to why Im going to see her: she is a legend of our time, its a piece of pop history & she puts on a bloody good show. Im off to text everyone I know to rub it in!!!

Putting The Record Straight

Dear Santa,

For Christmas this year I want a long-ear Jerboa because they are soooo cute bless them, Spice Girls tickets, a Tiffany diamond, a racehorse, a world cruise... oh sorry wrong list.

Anyway I don't have anything to moan about right now because today was eerily quiet at work, which I love! I do want to clarify a few things for workmates though:

1) Most importantly I am not leaving. Get it into your heads I'm still gonna be around to flout company rules, take the piss, overlook blatant rule breaking etc for a good while yet

2) Yes I have been promoted - no I don't know what my job title is yet

3) Yes I have a payrise - no I'm not telling you what it is

4) I am not dating you know who

5) I am not dying! Four of you in particular are obsessed with how ill I looked today.... I don't know why I looked "off" but Im fine - really. Bar my fucked up neck/shoulder of course but there's NOTHING terminal going on. If there was you guys would be the first to know xx

and finally 6) Leave my fucking jingling xmas tree alone. If one more person so much as touches my bells, I'll rip your balls off & wear them as earrings... on second thoughts they'd all be too small so scratch that. I'll think of something else.

Im Missing My Chance To Watch History

Fuck. Apparently because the Hatton fight is taking first dibs on yankee audiences, there are tickets left for the Spice Girls Las Vegas concerts this weekend. All I need is a flight of which there aren't any. Im so peeved. Wonder if I could get my dad to charter a private jet for me & my mam as part of my xmas present?? Its worth a shot. Ciao for now

This Bitch Bites

I have had the past two weeks from hell which were so bad I couldn't even put them into words & therefore this blog. Things came to a head today when a bloke came on the phone to complain that R had been abusive to him & a whole bunch of other stuff & refused to leave a contact number so management could call him back. I'd actually already dealt with several other complaining cilents today so I didn't pay much attention to him & just made the right noises like "im very sorry to hear that", "we'll investigate the incident & deal with the perpertrators accordingly" etc etc but not intending to do anything of the sort.

As he was incredibly abusive to me on the phone I did mention it to J who tried to call him on a mobile number we traced as his but it was unavailable. In the meantime R was brought into the office to tell his version of events which differed dramatically to this guys claims.

Cue everyone bar me & my admin assistant leaving for a meeting off site. As i was buried in the accounts in another room I noticed a strange person through the little window walking past the door. Before I had a chance to get to my assistant on reception a guy barges in full of hell. It was Mr Abusive Phonecall in person because he was sick of us not calling him back. My assistant was really shaken coz he was giving it all that so I took him out of reception into our meeting room.... possibly in hind sight I wouldn't have done in case he got violent but at the time I wasn't thinking. I was just so angry this moron had barged into our building uninvited & was frightening my staff.

Now Im only 4'11 but once Im wound up I can get more than vicious as any of the guys can testify! This guy wasn't particularily big anyway about 5'6 I reckon but I let him get one sentance out then I let rip. I have never been so furious in all my life. Even in heated arguments with bf's, family, friends etc I have never felt such anger. It was literally like a red mist descending over me. I pointed out his claims were lies, I'd spoken to all staff involved & they'd done nothing like he'd claimed & if he didn't like the service we were providing then he could go elsewhere. He began back peddling so fast I thought he'd burn a hole in the carpet.

So just remember; its the small ones you have to watch! Ciao for now

Denman ....

Be afraid Kauto Star. Very afraid.

My 7-1 antepost for the Gold Cup next March looks mighty fine now. Think he's generally at 5-2 second fave. You read it here first in September I think it was. Hope you kept your faith folks.
