7:Something

Start typing blog post

I rolled out of bed this morning fighting off a wave of nausea. Stumbling around in a hungover, sleep-deprived fit of angst.

I had been asked to come into work on a Saturday where I gladly agreed to, after all, It is an extra days pay after all. And everyone knows how much us Gen-Y kids love our money.

Unfortunately however, that does involve an early wake up, a waste of a Saturday., A bus trip with a group of four friends behind me entertaining me right now with their silly banter as I am typing this on the bus, an awful cup of takeaway coffee(double shot!) and a bad bad mood.

Fortunately however, I have worked this day into something semi-social with a date at lunch where I will be taking some guy I know from Myspace, Mogenic, MSN and over the mobile out to lunch. By those standards the wedding should be next week!……. or not.

And all this makes me ask myself, to what lengths would I go to, to make money? And would I ever completely separate my social life from work? I could not ever see myself leaving the life of parties, dates, drinking etc, wishing I could go to the teenage Neverland. Yet, society screams “Grow UP!”. It is my right though, as a Gen-Y’er, to remain a teenager forever.

10:13am

Boot up laptop again, wrap up post

So here I am sitting in a conference room on the X floor of building X in X street, doing the X project I was asked to give up my Saturday for. I am anxiously awaiting my date at 12:30 and dying for a smoke. So here is where I wrap up, quickly give to the internet, go downstairs, have a smoke and call some friends and then return to the labour.

Oh and a shoutout to that group on the bus! I think you realise I could hear everything you said.

You were a good looking bunch. And sweetie, I’m not gay. I’m bisexual. You shouldn’t jump to conclusions (She knows what I’m talking about, if she were to ever find this blog). If you were to stumble across it though, drop me a comment. Your friend is cute ;P

Have a nice day.
