Another List

Things I wish I had or could do RIGHT NOW:

1) To not have to go to work in less than half an hour.

2) To not have to wait an hour and a half between finishing one meeting and conducting another, culminating in a long day so I don't get to finish early on a Friday.

3) Go on a shopping spree for summer dresses, delicious-smelling toiletries and creamy, shiny make-up and silly, frivolous accessories like hoop earrings and butterfly necklaces. 

4) To not have to think of the 'usefulness' of everything I read with an eye on good vocabulary for meetings.

5) A glass of some kind of exotic fruit juice mix with a straw and a colourful cocktail umbrella thing on it.

6) More energy.

7) Time to waste painting my toenails or something suitably superficial like that.

8) A Magnum ice cream.

9) A piano.

That's it.

A Piece of Advice

Seriously, I haven't got time to go into how lacking in perception a certain person was today...  To be honest, I had expected better from this person.  My only advice is: if you see a girl who normally wears make-up and eccentric earrings suddenly wandering around with her hand on her tummy, hair in a mess, no make-up, no earrings and a tired, anaemic look in her eyes, you would do well not to ask too much of her.  It would serve you best not to badger her with unnecessary questions and requests.  It would even be a good idea to be nice to her.

I came THISCLOSE to snapping at said person.  And I don't even get that kind of PMT.  I get the unbearable, debilitating and excruciating pain kind.  So I'm simply going to try to survive tomorrow, not excel in it.  And I shall pray from the depths of my soul that the architect will have a warm spot on his sofa for me, or better still, in his arms, so that come what may, I can run away to another world by evening.
