Ugh October 20, 2006
Posted by Jen in : Bits and Pieces, Journal , trackbackWhat a day. Woke up with a stinky hangover and no emergency hangover food to hand. This can only be viewed as Not A Good Start.
There’s nothing worse than having to go to work with a red wine hangover really. Oh, actually, yes. There is. It’s going to work with a red wine hangover to discover that you’ve been brutally victimised handpicked for two hours’ American-style training on how to motivate new staff in the workplace. The new deranged enthusiastic training manager of the department store I toil for buzzed around the room, yelling as if she were on a stage and even (yes, I know this is hard to believe) whooped a few times. At 9.30 in the morning. ‘Woo,’ she bellowed. To her audience of three. Yay.
Two hours of this I endured before trundling back to my office which doesn’t now exist as it was demolished around me while I worked. Oh joy. Deep bliss. Fan-bloody-tastic. Never before have I arrived home from a day at work with ceiling in my bra…
To compound my woes, I rounded things off perfectly at an evening rehearsal with the Orchestra of the Undead. I think the average age of the members is, ooh, approximately 107? Quote of the evening, made by tartan-trewed conductor in her very ‘pawsh’ voice:
“It was all far too soft long before the end. You really must keep it up!”
Cue pathetic guffawing, sniggering and snorting from the flute section. Ah, things always perk up in the end.

Hey, your idea for a book sounds mucho coolio. I can tolerate a bit of positive oomph but not from an Essex girl on speed when I have the red wine trembles.
