mooching
I have been mooching and feeling lonely. inevitable really, missing my closest now so far away. I mooched up to the largo do senado, ordered a moochy book; beautiful solitude, at pin-to books, found soft toys of the catbus and totoro in a shop, cheered up momentarily before sinking into deeper mooch and went home and read harry potter (not much choice at elite bookshop) unfurled new cotton sheet (i have had a month of poly-cotton nightmares) saw that it said love all over it. sighed. slept.
i have accrued 55.5 hours of overtime in the last four weeks; that's more than a week of extra work stuck on to the end of my days; one week i managed 24 extra hours inc. 3 thirteen hour days . The other day Rachael and I got to go home after only 8 hours work, it was still light outside; we were running out of the building and laughing, it felt like a holiday. On the other hand, with the sunday i've just worked i will get about $2800 aud extra this month, so i can pay everyone back and get myself a present without feeling spendthrifty.
a client came through and looked at one of the private rooms (moulin rouge theme) and took offence to the can-can girls; bad feng shui; the client was Thai and they did not want any representation of women esp. not indecorous ones. theme changed. two days of annoying carving wasted, a month of design in the bin. deadline three weeks away. people a wee bit stressed...
Rachael has been poached by the painters, who are desperately short-staffed. Dave, head painter, has seen some of her work and knows that she can paint things, as well, of course being charmed by her winning personality... I will miss working with her, she, on the other hand may be relieved...
I am recovering from three days of carving psychedelic swirls. I'm back carving figures tomorrow, more demanding but less tedious; we have done about 50 metres of swirls. mb new flat soon.
mobile phone works. cool.
