I can confirm that L was fired last week. The Eye didn't think she read quickly enough. At The Crazy Workplace, one is expected to read certain things in one's spare time and at a certain pace. I don't think that I match up to this but (luckily for me) unlike L, I am able to a) bullshit really, really well and b) play the bimbo card when necessary. All The Eye really wants is to feel superior, so as long as I am happy not to challenge that I'll be fine. oh, and I also need to make Tanty Man think I think he is cool. I got an A in Drama at school - this is a piece of piss.
I have found a place to live. I am almost disappointed that it was so easy. It only took one interview and I am now preparing to move into a very fun flat in Glebe. Luckily, I have been told there are a couple of Scientologists who live in another apartment on the property and one of them likes to eat lunch in a skimpy negligee on the basketball court across the road. I smell blog fodder.
Strange Random Thing: A man in the lift gave me a bottle of wine tonight. I've never seen him before and now that I am moving out I may never see him again. But the Desert Heart Rose from Otago is very nice.
The recent global financial crisis has affected us all. I have calculated that before the crash, I would have been able to enjoy about 3 weeks of retirement on the super I have earned so far. However, my super fund has lost money recently, and now I can probably only afford to retire for about 2 weeks and 6 days.

I sure will miss the tower.
glad you found somewhere so quickly without any stress.
Yeah - I am super glad I didn't have to spend weeks of my life meeting crazy people before finding the normal flatmate. I am excited about moving (it's just around the corner from Badde Manors/Gleebooks area) but I will miss the tower too.
he just handed you a bottle of wine? just like that?
Yeah, pretty much. First he asked if I liked rose and when I said yes he gave it to me.
Maybe you have a not-so-secret admirer...
and you didn't jump him?
Rosie, Nerd Girl: He was VERY short. And I think he sells wine for a living but I thought mentioning that might ruin the story.
