So, this morning I went on a little shopping expedition to Chadstone with a mate. I wanted to go to Gap for more boxers (see this post for a refresher) and since said mate has a couple of munchkins, she wanted to check out Gap Kids so I tagged along upstairs once I'd found what I needed.
We didn't find anything for the munchkins, but our reaction to the discovery that a Gap Kids size XL is the perfect fit for the two of us, was something akin to this:
There was an entire wall of sale items, so I got the cutest sweater in the boys section for the bargain price of $14.25 (which for Gap is practically 90% off) and my mate picked up a polka-dot cardigan for about $25.
Needless to say, we WILL be returning. OFTEN.
So then I get home and they're putting up scaffolding around my block of flats in preparation for re-roofing. Right around the whole building. The banging of metal was annoying enough but to discover I've lost almost all the natural light in my study made me feel like this:
Then I checked a few work emails. One was from a colleague in Sydney and opened with the line "Thank you for offering to assist with...".
I had to physically step away from the keyboard to prevent myself from hitting the reply button and typing: "Just for the record, I NEVER OFFERED TO ASSIST YOU - MY BOSS JUST TOLD ME I HAD TO DO THIS - I WOULD'VE BEEN FIRED IF I'D SAID NO."
Because really, when it comes to adding to my (already quite heavy) workload, I feel mostly like this:
But then, that's mostly got to do with the fact that I don't want to do any aspect of my job right now and I'm getting increasingly desperate to find a new place to work.
So.
That's a snapshot of my day in GIF form. How was yours?
