People come people go

It's been a weird and funny year.

I have found a job that I surprisingly rather enjoy, working with a fabulous cast of characters that keep my week very interesting and full of laughter. And in this short amount of time I welcomed a number of new friends into my life but have also had a few that left...

Happy Evs and ditsy Paps, you guys rock! Big Cheeky JB, Skinny Mo and the BM always great fun to be around, Miss Angelic and Miss Smiley you ladies are awesome. Mr Charming, just thank you for being around.

ST, NV, HT, MAS will be, and still are, sorely missed. And then there was the BBB. 

We had some great times, a lot of fun and when it was over, you took a small piece of me with you but I believe that I am now better for it and even though I miss the good old times we had together I can honestly tell myself now that I don't miss you.

Hmm..... what else? Not much really. I really need to stop being all gushy about life. For now. 

I am constantly tired, but that is just from lack of sleep... I do too much at work and don't get paid nearly enough for it but I love what I do and who I work with so what are my options? Time is a funny thing. I have plenty of it, but still not enough.... last year I had so much of it I didn't know what to do with it. I suppose that was when I found out who my true friends were... the ones who are most supportive of you in your most miserable times. I'd love to be one who lives my life with no regrets, but unfortunately, regrets I have plenty. Wasting time with Wasters of Time is a big big regret I have. 

I'll try to steer clear of these Time Wasters of Life in the future ;)

Never driving to Coburg again

Dear Future Me (yep... How I met your mother has a lot to answer for...),

Just in case I lose my mind again and decide to venture out on my own, out of the comfort of my Western suburbs cocoon....DON'T!

Never ever drive there without any support or backup ever again. Full. Stop. It don't matter what you think. You WILL get lost. Guaranteed.

Remember tonight? At the Old Purple One's party? Sure you got there no problems... In fact, it didn't even take as long as you thought it would to get there... And it was an awesome party... The birthday boy's dad even flirted with you bit too, that was funny. But what happened when you left to get home? Do you remember?

Now now, don't be coy, you were there... Be honest now..

That's right... You got lost. Took a wrong turn or two... And then a few more wrong turns and almost ended up in Broadmeadows. Now that wasn't good, was it?

And then what happened? You got stuck behind a stupid slow car and got pinged going through a red light. Shit, oh that's right, you recall now... just what you need the night before your very own birthday. A stupid fine that technically wasn't your fault. Aaahhh well, sometimes you just gotta cop things like that. It could've been far worse. Someone could've ran a red and a terrible accident happened.

Think of this way, that little fine is trade off for no accidents happening to you. I'll take that on the chin.

And you got home safely. Almost 1.5hrs later... Double the time it should've taken but you got home and saw your birthday.

So happy birthday Future Me. And never ever drive to Coburg on your own ever again.
