Lucky... or not so Lucky

It's been a while since I blogged... not that I have much to update. Work is hectic as usual, but that hasn't prevented me leaving at 5pm for the last 3 days, due to my supervisor telling me to go if there's nothing (plus I only have 1/2 hour lunch...). Also I did get some OT in, which is ok. Nothing too flash. Anyways... I had an accident with a skid that nearly took the tip of my finger off. Basically, the guy said that the skid wasn't too heavy, and then when I put my finger under to pick it up, he moved it (because it was at an angle, and he didn't warn me he was moving it) and it trapped my 4th finger on my left hand. Very lucky that it was trapped for about 1/2 of a second or less cos it basically nearly crushed my finger and probably would've chopped it off if it shifted in the wrong direction. So I got a nice bloody finger for a while. It basically feels tender just behind the fingernail. The skin's split about 1 cm, and if I don't bandage it, it bleeds. It doesn't hurt now, even if I squeeze it. I guess it just got tenderised. But yeah, it was pretty scary when the skid shifted when I was trying to pick it up.

Anyways, about the word "bloody". It seems to be the Australian Tourist's new promotion, to ask tourists from other countries "Where the bloody hell are you?" and get them to come here.

Something tragic happened this morning. I wasn't caught up in it, but it was actually very close to where I work. I drive through Lidcombe to work everyday. There's an overpass, which is the M4 motorway. Apparently a woman got EJECTED out of her vehicle because of a crash, and well... she flew across the median strip and got hit by an oncoming truck. Died at the scene, and basically held up the M4 motorway for kilometers. I got to work pretty much at 8:45. Other people, stragglers, came in after 9... and most came in around 10-10:30 because they chose to go the M4. Of course, they don't lose any pay, but I think it's sad. They should lose pay because well, they aren't working. But that's just sad anyways.

There's a girl who I have no interst in at work, she sometimes just comes to annoy me because I process the orders. Anyways, somehow she was asking my colleague how was his holiday to HK, and he said it was ok, and I jokingly said that he was gonna get married soon, and she believed it for a second... then my supervisor said that I got a 'little woman' in queensland because I went up there for a HS reunion (all guys). Then, for some reason, the girl asks me this question. "Do you like guys or girls?". I was like WHAT THE F**K!!?! Naturally I don't like her, and never will. I wouldn't ever tell her who I liked. But I did tell my colleague who I liked. The thing is... I don't think she really has a liking for me, cos we're still treating each other like friends. But she showed me her webcam on MSN, and well, she's actually not bad at all. Though she does look a little fierce when she's concentrating, or has no 'expression'. She's got a diary on yahoo, and well, she says she likes these two guys (even got their names...) so... I'll just see if she's really interested in those guys, and if she is, I'll go find some other girl to lavish my attention upon. :P

Ahhhh Friday is coming up... I definately need the rest.

So it wasn't meant to be... the flirting was just flirting, it won't get anywhere. She just treats me as a friend, nothing more. Oh well time to find the next girl... :P

On other news, Christians are rather evil and manipulative... especially one of the girls from camp, who I've been chatting with recently. I have no interest in her, she has no interest in me (ain't that the sad truth) yet she wants me to go out with her. Well I told her that why do I want to go out with her, and her friends, in a more than friends manner, and then I realised that she wants to convert me to Christianity... I realise this only because I've been in the same situation before, in uni... when a group of friends told me to come to a "party" and then I went and it was a church session inside an auditorium... and they tried to convert me but I am a firm believer of Buddhism... so it was a no go zone for them next time around. Needless to say I'm weary of whatever they tried to invite me to. So I am weary of what this girl from camp invites me to.

My parents can be pretty evil (in a good way). They went on a tour around Sydney to see the temples. Left in the morning, and I was supposed to receieve a call from them and go pick them up at a train station. 5pm came and went, I was sitting there in the lounge waiting... waiting... watching tv... and more waiting... all the way to 5:30... then I said stuff it, went to my room and surfed because I didn't want to chat to people and suddenly leave. Then my parents came back around 6:15... -_- They didn't call, they were actually dropped off about 1km away from home and they walked... 30 mins or so. I was worried at that time, I had locked up the house and it was stuffy... and they were a little apologetic but still it was ok, since they were safe.

Crazy, I tell ya.

Feeling emotional... or something like that...

I feel like I'm beginning to deeply like somebody... previously I haven't really spoken to this person, but recently I've been chatting to this person at least once a day. Sometimes even at work, when I don't have any work. I don't know for sure if I really DO like this person, but there's the joking, and light flirting. Needless to say, if I ever meet them I will be able to make a better judgement. Hell, I don't even know if she really likes me or not, but if she flirts with me, it's probably a good thing? I'll probably see how far it goes... if nothing happens, then that was just fun... if something does happen, then its good... The only problem is that there's a 2 hour time difference... Ahh...

Work's been really dead. Today there wasn't anything really, it was all yesterday's orders. There was a mad rush to push them through, because it was EOM, but the first day back and it's DEAD. So we're gonna have a stocktake soon. That'll be easy, since we don't have that much stock. :P I'll be able to do most of it by myself because of the fact that my supervisor has kidney stones or gall stones or some stones, and need to get a scan. The other guys will be doing it in teams, and if we really don't have much to go out, it'll be smooth sailing. All the new stuff will be coming in next week. Yay. Everybody that comes into the warehouse goes 'where's the stock?!?' because it's EMPTY. Well, you guys did a great job of clearing out the stock, we're just waiting for new stuff to come in :P Then it's the cycle of clearing the stock. And that's the way it goes.

The weather's giving me the shits lately. Like cool and cloudy one day, and blistering hot the next. And it looks like it'll be blistering hot tomorrow. Damn... sweating like a pig, when we're not doing anything. What happens if we started working hard? Sweating like a... river... :P Lucky it seems to be dead in the orders, but... the warehouse gets hot no matter the situation :P
