my fourth week of work

[rdfreak]

I am so tired of stupid freakin connex. as said to so many, I use to feel sorry for them when people kept complaining about them, but they've just gotten ridiculous! Last straw was tonight when coming home on a damn 33 degree day, the lilydale train (which was ten mins late) was an old unairconditioned one; how stupid is that? and no wonder the damn platforms are chockers, on the day when moomba started and everything! So that and the fact that Heartly was playing up big time today had to be the end of my otherwise not so bad week, otherwise I was content enough; content enough this morning as I made me way into city to meet up with loscha finally! We had lunnch at a Japanese place on flinders lane (forget the name of the things already, but they were quite nice - pancake type things! Then we caught the tram down to the gardens where we met up with B and H. then we met up with the rest of the turnout from melbournemaniac . There was probably about ten or twelve all up; pretty good! I'm not going to list them all yet as I'm likely to forget some but I clicked with one or two others real well; not to say I wouldn't have clicked with them all; they were all lovely; but damn, one thing, it's kinda hardd to interact with a sightie crowd, hence why I preferr one-on-one or knowing them previous.
I'm also kinda shy too that doesn't help; mostly not shy shy any more, but shy more cos I'm always so self-conscious around new sighties; I don't want to stuff up!
So yes, I appreciate my sighted friends, and as said in the past, I have drifted from most my previous ones from tAFE and school, so I definitely love the prospect of making some more, but the eye contact thing will always make it so hard!
Two people were talking and I was trying to add my bit in and ask a question but since these people were two away from me (on the grass) I found they didn't realize I was talking to them so they didn't answer me! that's just frustrating as sighties always know when they're being heard by the eye contact.
anyway not to make any new readers feel bad, it's just a blindy problem! but as previously stated, it can be a necessary change from some of the silly clicky blindy community.
so again, yeah for more friends!
In other news, work seems to be running a lot smoother. I wasn't meant to work Thursday and friday but F had called to say he wasn't coming in so I got called if I wanted to come in, so course, I did!
Highlights included: second pay!
RB lending me his eureka, and I've had heaps of fun learning all about it. I was so curious, never having owned one meself. I was playing around with the music composer this morning! He trusts me too which is really good to know.
Connex stuffed up again the other day. Fault in Blackburn meant I was almost going to get a lift in with A's friend (who I happen to meet A on station) but then after ages, the trains were OK so i hopped on and was OK after that.
Mum cooked Lasanya for her b/day on thursday; that was nice! Nan was there as well as TC and the rest of the family!
Met up with Di on wednesday which was nice. We had Chinese in an arcade on Flinders Street. may end up telling Mum; not sure!
also prob going to U.K about the 20th of July. Tonight I will be working out my working week so I can attempt to leave on a Friday night or something. It was good last year, arriving when I did at 4.30 PM. anyway I will start pricing tomorrow once I work it out.
til next time, RdFreak

Hello Again!

Sorry you didn't feel more included.
It must be quite frustrating to know that you have to be somewhat aggressive to get an word in edgeways at the time, and I would be concerned about how I was coming across if I had to do that. Uh, that maybe didn't come out right.

I had a great time seeing you today, and hope we can do stuff again soon.
The group was a bit noisy today. It reminded me of being on a high school camp or something, but, in a really cool way.

Don't worry about the Okonomiyaki for lunch. They are something like $2.80 each. Quite affordable. One would expect you could eat two if you were starving to death, or had a large appetites in general. Was my pleasure to treat you to a new food you've never had before.

My Bus coming home from Bills was late 10 minutes, which was annoying. The trains are just getting beyond a joke at the moment. I went back to Bills and we played keyboard for a bit, then Matt and Richard came around. Richard is from the UK, and he was in a semi-famous band (the Bluetones) and, it turns out, he was in the TV Show Spaced that I really like (that I got on DVD in February for Michelle and I). I haven't gotten up to the episode he was in, so, I've gotta watch that A S A P!

Ahhh that was me who kept not realising you were talking to me, and the reason why is because i kept looking at the ground as I'm fairly shy (and I get all talky to try and cover the shyness) and making eye contact kinda freaks me out. I was also kinda zoned out from working the early shift.

It was great to meet you (and Heartly!) and hopefully we can hang out again sometime :)
