It's gonna be a busy month

So... the weekend shortened one hour of sleep for me, daylight savings kicked in. Then today, the last day of October, 2005, I spent a fruitful 3.5 hours doing orders. Past 5:30 pm, of course. Then at the end of this week, we're gonna have an End of Year stocktake. No sale, just stocktake. With shipments coming and going, a whole 3 or more months has gone by and we didn't do a stocktake. Several stock has indeed gone out of wack, as with the usual problems, short shipment, mislocated stock, and general stupidity on part of the stores. That will be the first weekend used up. The second weekend will be just as fun. This time, I will be putting the suit in the last blog post to good use, at my bro's engagement party. Yay. It's gonna be hot, and we'll all be sweating our asses off in the hot sun. Maybe not. Then the weekend after that, it's pretty much a free time I think. Then the last weekend... I think everybody who I've told it to had a REALLY GOOD LAUGH at me. I get to spend $70 for 2 nights and 3 days with some of my own countrypeople right here in sydney. Except that they are the same as me, in the marital sense. Originally I heard it was 20 guys and 20 girls, aged between 25-30, and now I saw the ad in the paper, it became 25 guys and 25 girls, between 23-32. So, I think because of the lack of male interest (my colleague seems to wanna go, even tho he is attached... I told him that the girl at work is available, and that shut him up straight away :P) They are trying to broaden the spectrum so more guys will be attracted and attend. The girls spaces have already been filled up. I guess they are more worried about the girls not getting a bf/hubby or something... So yeah... I've told some of my work colleagues, and they had a good laugh, I told a couple of online friends, and they had a good laugh as well. The whole problem isn't my fault, my dad signed me up... I told him that I'll start looking for a gf next year... but seems like he's worried about me not finding a gf or something... and thus taken this drastic measure to take away my weekend away from me :P Not that I do much on the weekend, I usually catch up on my sleep. Being a workaholic and all. So, I shall do whatever, and hopefully something interesting will happen on the last weekend of this month.

All dressed and not going anywhere...

For my bro's engagement, which is happening soon, there's a load of activity. And one of them involves me buying a suit, which I did today. We went to DFO, Direct Factory Outlet, which has a lot of discounted goods, mainly clothes. My suit cost $130, and my other bro's suit cost him around $200 or so. The quality is apparent because mine was more gray, and his was more black. Doesn't really matter, since I hardly will use this suit anyways in the future... *sigh*.



And in case you were wondering, I am wearing shorts :P

what's going on?

It's been a good while since I last put my thoughts to keyboard... Work is work, and well, I'm always home around 6pm... that is, after the hustle and bustle of End of Month (EOM). Every EOM, I always have to do OT and well that makes more $$, but I'm tired. But now I don't make as much $$ and is less tired, I get to go home on the dot at 5:30 and enjoy relaxing at home. Then EOM arrives... soon :P.

Tomorrow, both the guys that deal with the in-out of service stuff have a day off. That means it's bad news for me. Since I am the only other guy who knows how to do it (apart from the worthless guy who wants to pass on the crap that he gets) so I have to help out with the service shit. Needless to say, it should only be tomorrow. Great, I haven't done any service roles for about 10 months or so now... so I might not be able to do well. Oh well it's their problem, not mine. Meanwhile, John will take over my position, and Bruce will do all the manual labour.

What's with people and relationships anyways? My bro is getting engaged (isn't he in a hurry... the other bro (who's younger than him) got a gf earlier but still no sign of getting engaged, but these 2, they are gonna get engaged... after maybe less than a year together? hmmm...) sometime in the second week of November, so I have to go and buy a suit. Yay. I am getting asked by my parents why aren't I getting a gf yet, and my reply is that I'm helping them paying off the house... if I get a gf then how will I help then... :P The other 2 brothers, though they help in paying off the house, are hardly around. The one that's around, he pays the least. The one getting engaged, he's at his gf's most of the time because of reasons which I can't say on this blog. Also my colleague wants to hook me up with a girl. And my brothers also. And then my future sis-in-law also wants to as well. And... it's just weird. I can't be getting old and requiring a gf? I like my own space... :P Plus the girls at work... they kinda freak me out... I walked past them and they asked why I walk through that section of the building... I find that's the quickest way out of the building, but they just find it strange... well they are strange themselves. WHO CARES ABOUT WHICH WAY I WALK THROUGH THE BUILDING???? weirdos.

Also today was a quiet day, till 5:20. This massive, 2 page order came down. Knowing my luck, it'll hit the fan tomorrow and I will be a busy, busy man.

I reckon that I might start looking for a gf next year, after our debts have been paid. Watch out, wallet. You won't be the same...
