Missing the networking

We recently had problems at work with the over-use of our resources in order to have cyber relationships on Facebook, as a result, FB has been blocked. This mostly doesn’t bother me, since all I ever did was check on friends’ status updates and then go along my merry way, occasionally updating my own status. Until today, I haven’t really missed it, but right now I do. So, herewith my mass status update.

My flat mate moved out end of last month, which left me minus some key appliances. But I was very lucky in being able to get a fridge fairly quickly. So, status 1: I have an awesome new fridge that is huge and works great! (I’m borrowing the bf’s microwave in the mean time – you’re awesome, honey)

I’ve also been struggling to figure out the state of my leave at work so I could put in leave for the Festive Season. I finally decided that I’d had enough and just put in for all the days I have remaining on the books and that happen to be all the days I wanted. So, status: I’ve put in for leave, please let it be approved.

After having let my Learners expire last year (yes, I am ashamed), I finally managed to get an appointment to write it again in March 2010. It’s still a long time, but I’m excited and scared and all the rest of it. I’m doing a Code 10 and I’m hoping it all goes well. The better half and his mom have promised to help me learn to drive – at this advanced age, it’s an embarrassment that I never got around to it. Status 3: I’m getting my Learners

I was overcome by the female plight of broodiness recently. I’ve wanted to get a second cat for a while, but couldn’t justify it. Combining the two factors and a few others, I started looking at various shelters and personal ads for cats and came upon a really cute picture. I impulsively SMS-ed the poster to hear where the kitten was and all that, but eventually thought it a better idea not to get it. The girl asked why I had decided against it. The persistence led me to take a look at the little one. Status 4: We have a new kitten called Odin Bubastis (Nastis)

My boyfriend’s parents are getting two kittens this afternoon – Heru & Miya (we won’t go into their registered names here, they’re rather long). The kittens are Maine Coons and the entire family is excited about bringing them home. Status 5: We’re surrounded by kittens!

Status 6: Family Christmas at my house this year – HELP!

Status 7: Have a wonderful Festive Season, all
