Today two awesome things happened at work!
Thing the first: I got a reply this morning from designer!boss to my "I can't keep doing this" email that I sent last night an hour and a half after I'm supposed to finish. Bosses are both currently in Sydney being trained on the shiny new printer we're getting in the next month or so. But yes. Email offers a day off when they get back from Sydney week after next, not counting as an annual leave day or anything, just a DAY OFF holy crap. They realise this is only a stopgap measure and will more seriously handle the situation when they get back. I've worked just about a full day's worth of overtime this week. Long weekend will be niiiiice.
Designer boss also called me this evening to reiterate this and express concern and it made me very squee, to hear that my boss would call out of hours to basically show appreciation. I still squee *^^*
Thing the second: I FINISHED WORK ON TIME HOLY CRAP IT WAS AWESOME AND AMAZING I GOT HOME AND THE SUN WAS STILL UP AND OMFG WOW. Would probably have stayed back if I hadn't already made plans this evening, but whatever. Over it. I do have a shitload to get back to on Monday, of course, but I'll be able to do some delegating of stuff to my fellow slashie* then because she'll be back from leave. But still. OVER IT.
Tonight~ up at Mum and Dad's for dinner, and also to meet a new friend yay! Friends of Mum and Dad's friends, daughter who is my age recently moved to Adelaide from country NSW, so we all met her tonight. Fun girl, totally on my wavelength, loves Monty Python and travelling and did a gap year in England and loves languages and accents and lamb and living in the Hills and wine and the Barossa and yes. Hit it off right away :D We have swapped numbers and will meet up for coffee over the coming months X3
Mum, Anna P and I were going to go to the Show tomorrow, but the combination of crap weather forecast, having to leave early anyway for big family dinner tomorrow night, and Crows playing the first finals match at around 2 in the afternoon has delayed this outing to next Saturday instead. So sadly the individual flowers and the cakes won't be looking so great, but the rest of the Show will be. I'll look at the digital art again and go "I could so win first prize if I entered" again and then not actually enter next year because trying to find the rules on their website is frigging impossible. But I'll say I'll do it anyway. We'll see :D
Wow when did it hit 1am? Didn't notice that happening. (4 minutes ago, 'narti, duh)
