this is a bumper post since i'm (somewhat) guilty that i didn't blog much (nor frequently) this week, but as usual my life has been (somewhat) mundane and unexciting. But that's all about to change soon, i hope.

Been exploring the nice places to eat lunch, and out of fear that my coworkers would be obliged to join me due to my restrictive diet, i actually did research and copied the details and traced out the locations of all the vegetarian eateries (of which none i have visited this week actually, none at all) diligently before heading to office.

of course it's all rather neatly (if you consider my scribbles neat-) put into my small book which i found to be useless since most of the stuff that's important i end up writing in the company-given notebook/on the company materials/handouts anyway.

everything's been fast-paced and i've been feeling like an idiot sitting in calculus class. Everyone is friendly, sharp, experienced, awesome. Well all except for Beat and me, and well at least Beat isn't as new as i am. But i am milking the 'new' thing. everyone's been so helpful and nice about things- there's really nothing much to nitpick.

if anything, my inability to wear heels/wedges.

which is of course my own problem, and has absolutely nothing to do with the office.

it just pisses me off cause i got about 5-10 pairs of perfectly decent and presentable heels/wedges which i cannot wear because of my currently retarded left foot. And i virtually own no flats. Actually had to dig out my old shoes to see if there are any flats i can wear, and one pair bit so badly i needed to put like 3 plasters on each foot. pft. The deena and ozzy ones are fantastic, but i can't wear skirts with them cause the backstrap just looks really off and informal; with pants at least i'd get away since long pants cover the back and i just look like im wearing fantastically smart shiny black lace ups. smashing.

oh well.

everyone says work is horrible and they want to go back to studying,

but actually i am quite enjoying the work. Am i strange?

maybe if i do this long enough i'd actually dislike it. pah.

just looking forward to becoming more sharp, smart, good, knowledgeable, experienced, whatever. Just not so green, yeah?

also looking forward to nice weather, and seeing ngeezy soon!

beat and i are so excited. I bet we'd not wanna come back. hah!

-------------------------------------------

i saved a snail yesterday.

as usual i nearly stepped on it but barely missed. thank goodness.

and assuming it was advancing towards the direction it was facing, i plucked the poor thing up (because it was in the middle of the walkway) and put it on the grass patch on the other side.

i know some people just leave things (the snail) be, because you don't know for sure where it wants to go, but you narrowly missing stepping on it is definitely a danger sign- surely other blind bats would just walk unknowingly and in the process kill a small but significant life.

i can't turn a blind eye- the image of seeing a crushed (and presumably dead) snail on the way to my temp job during the holidays after my A levels has scarred me for life. I was so distraught i couldn't really eat my lunch. I ate it but was distraught anyway.

and anyway if you left it to crawl there it'd probably take x 10 or x 30 the length of time you take to just pick it up and land it on the grass patch/safe zone. So why not save the snail the trouble?

just hope that i got it's desired destination right.
