Mid week

I'm still dying with this cold/cough thing, so i'm obviously not feeling tooo rocking hot at the moment.

My streaming nose and blocked ears have all but subsided, i'm left with this really greasy cough which kinda just 'errupts' from nowhere into an eye watering, five minute, coughing jag - not brilliant when it happens when you're talking to clients ...don't worry, it's only the tuburculosis - look of horror from the interlocuteur ...

So far this week i've been out on two mini-jaunts (i'm sure that i'd make a ton of money on the metro if i had an empty cup to hold out every time i start hacking) ... the weather's been grey, humid and very close; roll on a good old storm to clear up the atmosphere a bit.

Our computer system went down on monday afternoon.

Consequently when i came back from my little visits i couldn't do anything, so, i watched the footy on t.v at work : Brazil / Ghana and Italy / Australia.

The Brazil match was a forgone conclusion, but i really think the Italian result was a hold-up with that penalty at the end.

I loved the France / Spain match though :o))

A part from that, i've seen Elle this week, who's been helping set things up for a nice little summer project - i want her to be involved on it as much as possible hehehehe because there's a chance that i may have to become more involved in doing public speaking seminars, which will tie me up for crucial periods.

I've finally met another resp.form that i've been in contact with by e-mails and over the phone for the last two months or so - nowwwwww that one ...

It's funny how you build up an impression of people when you don't see them.

She's got this habit of mixing up cApiTALs or just writing in capitals - so you get this feeling that she's shouting at you : "BONJOUR COMMENT VAS TU ?" ... aie aie aie my ears ... on the phone she's a bit of a giggler ...

In real life she's leggy, blonde, blue eyed, good looking, very serious but easy going and charming .... i don't think she's neurotic ... mind you, you never can tell, can you ? ... or if she's single, but i'm sure i'll find out soon enough - dunno whyyyyy i'm saying that ;-)

Tomorrow ... euhmmmm ... i don't know what tomorrow will bring really.

I'm still catching up on stuff i couldn't do from the start of the week, so i've no doubt i'll be getting some more calls from miserable assholes saying that they've still not recieved any financial proposals / conventions from me.

I had one old cow phoning me yesterday and today who just had trouble understanding certain words in the phrase :

"Can do. Working. System. Down.Computer.Not.Anything."

- perhaps i should have tried speaking in cApS ;-)
