Her Life is a WIP

I've been sorta busy yesterday so I missed decor_noctis' birthday. Sorry! Happy belated Birthday to you, mate! *kisses*

It's barely 11.40 AM and it feels like I already had a whole day of work. Some mornings are hell. I'm totally taking a break now because I deserve it!

Oh et alors j'adore mais, malgré le fait qu'on m'avait assuré que je le serais, je n'ai toujours pas été payée pour mes quinze jours de juin. Je rappelle la personne en charge et lui explique le problème et la nana me dit qu'elle verra si elle peut demander - et je cite - 'une avance' - fin de citation... une avance. Sur un salaire en retard de trois mois ! Et elle considère qu'elle me fait une faveur en plus ! Une avance sur un retard; c'est absolument magnifique, je trouve. Ca, c'est l'administration dans toute sa splendeur, tiens.

End of rant in French : just needed to vent because they still haven't paid me for the two weeks I did in June. Even though they'd assured me I would be paid this month. Thank you so much. NOT!

Anyway, I have better things to think about - which is why I picked my 'Jared Glee icon' - like OMG CONNOTATIONS IS TOMORROW! I cannot wait, really *bounces* I bought myself a new suitcase for the occasion, btw; it's tiny and cute and slightly grungy and I love it to pieces.

I'm hoping I'll be able to meet with everyone I'm supposed to *fingers crossed* Of course, nothing will stop me from meeting you, sis, because you're a category of your own, so never fear, I'll tackleglomp you as soon as I see you! Or, well, not, because I can be shy sometimes but still!

And I'll try to remember that people in the UK hug instead of kiss when they meet... even though I always feel a bit frustrated when I can't kiss my friends. My life, so hard sometimes!

Today is a day to celebrate! First, it's Friday, which is usually absolutely wonderful in and of itself but today also happens to be Friday, August, 1st, meaning that, as of right this minute, I'm off work for three weeks! There's no words for how awesome that is :-)

And! yami_tai and I are going to Connotations, that's official! Pending any catastrophe that would occur between today and October that is but whee it's done! The tickets have been bought, we also have the rooms booked, so I just need to sort out the travel and we're all set!

I've heard so much about that con, I cannot wait to be there :-)

Also, I was talking with the one co-worker that was left in my department today and we were talking about our hobbies and she was like 'you seem quite passionate about tv shows', which, yeah, I guess I am :-p

I was telling her it wasn't just the show itself but everything that went with it; the fannish talks, the fannish energy, the fannish creativity, the cons, well, everything, really, and I knew she wasn't really getting it but she was trying to, which I thought was sweet. Usually people just think you're weird and have lame-ass hobbies and that's it.

I enjoyed what she said when I explained to her what a convention was, ie 'sounds like there's an incredible energy there' because that's definitely it. Guess I explained it well :-)

Anyway, all that to say, I'm supposed to be going to Connotations with yami_tai, where I'll finally meet turps33 and her kick-ass hubby and I'm so excited that I could burst!

Seeing how everything can happen to stop you from going to a con - I'm think of Asylum2 here - I think it's nice to get excited while you can *nods* So, yay, con \o/
