My weekend in pictures

Another Monday... another week of work... Why do the weekends fly by so fast! Okay, I'm being kinda lazy here but instead of putting my weekend in words, my next few posts are gonna be in pictures...

So it looks like everyone's out tonight....

 Real teeth in the table at some club (I honestly can't remember the name of this place!)

 View from the club (in retrospect, this must have been a pretty central club/bar... Alcohol is bad for your memory)

Desserted random room upstairs I stumbled on by accident
And so on Saturday...

 Walked past St Paul's

 Stumbled across the invisible man...

 London bridge (looks iconic in the distance - accompanied with typical 'London' rain clouds)

 View of St Paul's from Millenium Bridge

And ended the afternoon with a yummy meal from Wasabi...(delish!)

Meet the colleagues

Right! As you all know, I just started working recently and I figured I’d give you guys a little taster of some of the more 'interesting' people I work with. Without further ado – meet the colleagues:-

Tee (not her real name of course): Fantastic lady! The best of the bunch! Nice, vivacious and very hard working. She’s shaved off her eyebrows and painted them back on almost about an inch too high so she constantly has a surprised look on her face. Down to earth and most likely to cover up for you if you off “sick” (i.e. can’t come in due to massive hangover… not that I’d ever do that…again - Disclaimer: I've never done that in this new job!)

Eff (also not her real name, okay, by this point, I’m sure you’ll have figured out that I’m not gonna use people’s real names): Irritating, pretentious with rare moments of brilliance. The kind of person who has an inane ability to say the most stupid things all the time and yet every so often comes up with fantastic joke/comment that draws you back in. At least with her you’ll never be ambivalent.

Pee1: Crazy crazy crazy crazy (did I mention crazy) Irish guy! The things he comes up with are insane. Most likely to get you in trouble (unintentionally might I add!). Still it’s always a welcome type of trouble! Needs to figure out what’s appropriate to wear to the office though (white blazer, bright green shirt and shiny silver trousers are NOT appropriate office wear!). Saying that, I always look forward to seeing what he wears to the office. Makes a refreshing change in the sea of Black and Grey suits.

Pee2: Quiet office mouse… that is till you get a drink or two down her and suddenly, she has a potty mouth that would make even the maddest sailor blush. Why is it the quiet ones that are always full of surprises? And after her fifth drink, she’ll tell you things about sex you never knew existed or were even possible! In between sporadic fits of laughter, I have make occasional trips to the bathroom to write some of it down. It’s like sexual comedy gold. (Bet she thinks I have a weak bladder with the amount of times I have run off to the bathroom laughing…) She’s smaller than Kylie Minogue so takes very little for her to get drunk… (Lucky cow!)

Bee: Office bore. Tells the most awful, sleep-inducing stories ever! I have actually nodded off while he was talking to me once. Thankfully, I don’t think he noticed… now that I think of it, I kinda wish he did. At least maybe he’d get the message and stop coming over to tell me tales of his great ‘pumpkin weekend’. On the plus side, he’s a genuinely nice guy so as long as he doesn’t insist on recounting old tales, generally nice to be around.

Aay: Moaner… You could almost see a dark cloud hanging around his head every day! I find this tedious and avoid at all costs.

Boss Lady: Hardly ever in the office so hard to tell what she’s like. All I know is she has a crazy hyena laugh which you can head across the entire office but generally seems like a nice lady. I hear she’s the office gossip queen which makes sense as the first thing she ever said to me was how some intern from the years ago slept with her old manager at the office Christmas party and the intern is now back here full time. (I fully intend on finding out who said intern is!!! I’ve already figured out who her old manager is… And as I said before, I’ll never actively spread office gossip but I’ll be damned if I’m gonna miss hearing about it!!!)

That’s it so far. Still new so still finding my way around and getting to know more people. Needless to say, I’ll keep you all posted!!! Till next time…

Bruno Mars

Guess who got free tickets to see Bruno Mars at the iTunes Festival last week?! He is amazing to see live; such a talented performer and really funny too. Also, saw a support act called Ed Sheeran who’s currently on the charts (but I’d never heard of him till that night! Damn! I need to keep up with what the kids are listening to these days… hehehe!) Shame you all couldn't be there but here's a little taster

 Ed Sheeran

 Bruno Mars!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great night! And I'm sure these guys will agree with me! 


Till next time...

Smack!

I’m such a trouble maker. I left work on Friday a little giddy with excitement as the fr**king weekend was about to get started and I got free tickets to go see Bruno Mars. I was on such a high and practically skipped through the underground on my way home (with a mandatory stop halfway through for a little robot dance). Anyway, I got off at one of my stop and was walking past the train when I noticed a hot guy squeezing into the end of the carriage. The trains were pretty cramped and as he squeezed in, I noticed how hot he was and I ran over quickly and smacked his bum! It took a second to realise what I’d done and thankfully, the doors had started to shut by the time he realised what just happened. He looked at me, a little shocked, and understandably so and I winked and smiled. He quickly figured out what had happened and smiled at me and winked back. (Phew!!!What the hell is wrong with me? FYI, the full scope of what I had just done dawned on me about 5 minutes later...) Note to self: Don’t smack random strangers on the train, unless they’re cute in which case smack away and stick around to get their number!

So what did I get up to over the weekend?

I’ll let you see for yourself! It was so much fun and a fantastic coincidence as it turns out it was gay pride on Saturday so there was a massive street party in central London already and we arrived there just in time to join in! 

Start of the night!

Filthy street!!! The party's already underway...

We could barely move through the crowd

Mmmm... Saucy! Stepped in for a sneaky peek... (I was quite drunk by this point I might add.

A big fear of mine - broken iphone (okay, that's just the case but I imagine the phone can't look too good if the case's that broken)

Random reveller who absolutely loved the camera

Drunk. Fallen. Over.

At the club

On the way home in the morning... Half asleep at this point! (But with my McDonalds help me fight 'future hangover')

So on Sunday, I went to see Janet Jackson in concert! She was amazing!!!

The concert was in the Royal Albert Hall however there was an intermission half way through (what's that about?!?!)

Headed back home and saw a guy with the shortest short shorts!


And that's about it!!! Another weekend that left me aching (physically)... So, what did you guys get up to last weekend?

A woman after my own heart

Short Blog Update:- Saw this video the other day and I’m sure some people must have seen this already but woman and I could have been cut from the same cloth! Enjoy!

Pros and cons…

…of being employed

Pros

- Money! I know where my next pay cheque is coming from – literally! No more street corners for me... (Just joking!!!)

- Purpose!!!: It’s so nice to wake up in the morning and actually know what I’m going to be doing. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve created random ‘fun’ tasks for myself; which actually end up being not so fun!(Understatement of the year!) A challenge to clean your bathroom in under 10 minutes is NOT fun! It’s torturous and you’ll smell like bleach for the rest of the day. 

- No more morning/daytime telly: Thanks goodness!!! I’m such a glutton for punishment when it comes to this. I sit there thinking how awful it is and yet never change the channel and go back for more the next day. I actually go to a point where I ‘enjoyed’ Jeremy Kyle (*hangs head in shame*). I had to stop watching telly for a while when I caught myself QVC for almost an hour!!! (Nothing against QVC but watching it for an hour is a bit much…)

- Sexy Business Outfits: I love getting dressed up for work!!! I always try to over do it... some days 'slutty secretary' (hehehe!) other days 'haute couture'... I imagine I’ll get bored of this pretty soon though but it’s like playing dress up! Love it!!!

Cons

- Lack of sleep: I miss it so much!!! *sobs*

- Coffee: This is like daily punishment for not getting enough sleep! (Why does it have to be so bitter?!) Each sip is torture!

- Eating cold and boring lunches: I can’t binge anymore on pizza and chicken wings (and cheese on toast and huge dollops of creamy pasta and ice cream and sticky toffee pudding – okay you get the point, I’m a binge eater!) I’m sat on my tush all day barely moving or exercising so the pounds are gonna pile on if I don’t watch what I eat. I’m really trying to be good here but it’s so hard – I gave up the other day and binged on a whole Nandos chicken, chips and rice and even had dessert too! I felt so incredibly guilty but at the same time I felt so fantastic from all that good good good food! (It was a very confusing day for me… hehe!)

- Office gossip: I cannot be bothered with this; I won’t spread stuff about other people. I usually won’t listen either – unless it’s really interesting in which case – Dish! Dish!! Dish!!!

- Walking around in heels: Sore feet – nuff said!

Till next time…
