Tomorrow's another Monday
It might be the fatigue talking but the fluffy-Labrador-puppy temp is starting to get on my nerves. Not only hasn't his constant flow of questions dried up yet but he also keeps spelling my name "Anny" even though he get thousands of correctly signed emails from me each day. Sucks to be me. On the other hand, I don't have to stack boxes in a supermarket together with my vile staff like my ex. It only takes a short trip to see old friends from university to put your life back into perspective.

A long week that made me realize that I needed a plan
Lots of stuff has been going on in the offline world. Having booked a flight to a city whose public transportation system has been bombed the prior morning was quite a weird start into what became a good week after all. After a very long misunderstanding at Heathrow involving TF being at the only terminal which required a 20 minute cab ride to meet up with him and a 50 pound ride later we were in London and meeting up with our crazy colleague at whose place we were crashing for the weekend.

Fast forward.

Friday: drinks, dancing, stumbling to the bathroom (a lot), earlybird chinese food, nightbus home. Saturday: bed, bacon, toast and eggs, buying boxershorts, putting on a mask, going to a mask party, helping a drunk friend to find her jacket and down the stairs, pouring whisky into a grill to fire up a barbeque. Sunday: more BBQ, pub, Monday: driving to the place that is to be my office in September.

Play.

Monday evening, Company X had a social sport event with some English game that is like baseball except that you don't get a catching glove and that the bat is half as long as a baseball bat because those English folks are crazy bitches. And we even made it to the quarter finals against them without having played it before ever. The price for that was that I had such sore muscles that Ihad to take one of my leg with my hands and swing it over the other one to cross my legs for the next few days.

Fast forward again.

I had a training, we made an HR person cry, worked some more, I met some boy from the mask party at the London Bridge, went to see David Schwimmer in Some Girl(s), went to a music festival, had dinner in Brick Lane, drank some more alcohol and took a plane back to Brussels on Sunday.

Stop.

By now, I'm so broke that I don't know how I will actually manage to live in London with my meager salary as a corporate drone. But I have a plan now: I will stop eating. This will free up some cash for partying. Alcohol has calories, too, y'know. And if I ever need vitamins, I can order a cocktail. Cheers.

Movies: Sending kids mixed messages
The latest Dreamworks animated movie's moral: It's ok to eat fish because they're not your friends. Disney disagrees.

Now that I can't afford food any more it makes much more sense than before
Saturday was the second day of the Belgian July sales and the first day working people have actually time to claw fellow shoppers' eyes out because they're holding the same T-shirt. I'm quite attached to my eyeballs (literally) so I got up early in the morning to avoid the big crowd. 5 hours later, I was in possession of bagful of clothes that did not fit properly because fitting rooms harbor a different logic than the one used in normal life:
  • If it's too small, you can buy it because it will give you an even better incentive to lose weight than "health reasons"
  • If it's too big, it's still okay because you were going to throw it in the dryer anyway

    And that's how I spent a third of my salary in one day: I was sucked into an alternate universe.
