my day sucked big time. first of all there was the hassle about the meeting room and then the arbitrator, the union guy and the witness turned up for the meeting but my boss simply didn't materialize. i sat in a state of panic for about half an hour (inbetween leaving messages on his cell, his home answer machine and his work phone), until he arrived, wondering just how much it was going to cost us for the delay and wondering if they would take it from my pay before they sacked me (because it appeared that he didn't see the note i left on his desk last night saying that the hearing was going ahead this morning and arbitrators charge serious hourly fees). anyway things got better from there. dutch maarten is back in town and we've just got home from having a few drinks with him. its not always easy meeting people in a new country and while i have made lots of nice friends it feels so good to be with someone i've known for a long time and don't have to make any sort of effort with.
we bought this chair:
not so long ago (in dark dark brown with light wooden legs) and ian has just informed me that the seat material is looking a little shiny. "have you been sitting on it naked" he demanded of me. i'm not quite sure why he thinks my arse makes things shiny. i choose to take it as a compliment but probably only because i had one too many red bull and vodkas.

i've just totally lost my temper for no real reason. it was something to do with me booking a room rather sloppily and someone else booking it more efficiently after me and getting it. the receptionist tried to soothe me by telling me exactly what i'd done wrong. not a good idea to patronise me when i'm pissed off even if i do consider you a friend.
