Can anyone spare some time?

hmmm - have I run out of things to say?

No - just the time in which to say it.

I used to bag people out for being time poor and claim that they should just be more organised. Now it's me. I blame this full time work thing - when do you rat racers find time for things like going to the post office and catching up on your personal admin. I've had a post it note with TAX written on it since July last year. The other one says BLOG and I did well with that for the first 6 months, which is the goal I set myself and I did it so these are just bonuses now. 

A PA would be great right now - get my groceries, organise plumber and electrician, go to post office to mail DVD's out to festivals that don't accept online screeners(?! how archaic!),  burn some more DVD's (this time at the correct frame rate), buy my nephews birthday presents, email CV out to get a work after this contract runs out...the list goes on and on. Now while someone is doing all of that for me can they squeeze in researching and booking me a holiday!! Maybe a time machine would help - right now i'd use it to stop time while I sleep, then once rested I'd go do crazy stuff with it  Back to the Future style.

It seems to be the time for wrap parties. I have 1 every 2 weeks lately but only 3. Society wants me to get drunk at these things to prove what a good time I am having. I don't understand this. People I work with think I am drunk at these things anyway coz I am not in 'work' mode and social me comes out a bit more and they are not used to her. I have also made a conscious effort to not get tanked at these events as they are work functions; invite me to the after party and that's another story. ;-) I've always kept my work and social life quite separate until more recently when I have been working with people that I want to hang out with outside of work.

Said good bye to a dear friend (emigrating to Japan) who has been a huge influence on my life though not as prominent in it for the last 10 years. He had a farewell yesterday and it dredged up some deep buried emotions in me and left me a little fragile last night. All good, just very contemplative in a what am I doing with my life and what does it all mean kinda way. 

The weather has been crazy, I have been dealing with a case of manflu at work and in denial that i am actually coming down with the same bug. Trooper that I am gives them all the support they need while quietly running myself into the ground. Does this job ever get any easier?? 

Today - the SPOT festival in Randwick and a short film screening with my Cuz.
