Today was just a random series of unconnected events. Felt very weird and disjointed.
Breakfast and slight posting.
Work and asking to get Saturday off, which I did. Sébastien, my team manager, is v. cool about that kind of thing. Called up the scheduling department on the spot and got me the day off in five minutes flat. Was v. impressed and grateful. Now I can see my grandfather off in the way I want.
AI at work gets more annoying every day, poor thing. Vapid, brainless little Romanian git that she is. I swear, the only reason she talks to me is because I'm half Romanian, and I really wish she wouldn't. Besides which, she's really loud. I have to stick my hand over my free ear to hear my clients because of her shrill little voice constantly piercing through my concentration.
Drove to L'Auberge afterwards. Car was full of water from some undetectable leak, and windshield wipers crapped out, which was annoying. Dinner itself pleasant if really loud and rushed, and I was really tired by then, so I wasn't in top form, to say the least.
Gave HD and fiancé, RB, FP and Poms lift to Dundee's afterwards, during which my car went out of its way to prove what a pile of crap it was. Poms did a lot of anxious back–seat driving, which luckily I could ignore, given that I've had lots of experience with the Paternal Unit doing that. The Paternal Unit is way better at stressing me out anyway.
Dundee's was fun but short–lived. I was keeling over by ten thirty. Poms paid for my dessert, which was sweet as all get–out. I gave him a lift home, and for once he was the one who broke off the goodnight kiss, which was nice as I was beginning to feel guilty about always being the one to call it a night. Kiss was nice too, of course. ;)
Am wildly enjoying The Subtle Knife. Will likely sacrifice a few minutes' sleep tonight to finishing my chapter.
