Fantastic night out. Lots of old faces, plenty of pervery to watch- and partake it- even the rain did not ruin the good spirits and enthusiasm. Great atmosphere.
Was meant to be partaking in a record to place the most amount of clothespegs on a scrotum, but got most of way to event before realizing in had forgotten the pegs. Pulled into a late night convenience store and was lucky enough to find one with pegs on the shelves. Tiff and I stood there debating for a few moments about how many packs of 50 we should get. So I'm standing there holding several very large (I mean in a physical space sort of way)packs and wondering aloud "I'm not sure- how far can a scrotum stretch you reckon?
The two boys working in the shop were a little pained, and I think very happy when we finally left. And I'm glad I bought both packs, as I needed them. Also landed a record for landing 1862 cane strokes in ten minutes.
Two of my favourite pervs are still sleeping in the spare room, and another friend(and former housemate) who moved away a year ago is on her way to mine, having driven for past three days straight from Tasmania to move back to Qld. Very much looking forward to the catch up.
Hopefully Tiffs brother will come over today to to fix my car, as the fuel line is is busted, split or otherwise leaking to the point of being undrivable.
I'm thinking I need a massage, or maybe just head out to a film- need to unwind a little and shut the brain down a bit as I am still far too wired.

Bursting!
Belly is too full of too much Indian food. Blergh!
Had a "stop-start, rewind" kind of morning. Got up early, left the girl dozing in the warm comfy bed, headed to train station to see train puling away. Pulled over, went to call Tiff to tell her I would be taking the car to work, only to find I left my phone at home. Drove home. got phone, told the now awake girl I was taking car, and off I set for the drive into the city.
5 kms away from home, I noticed the digital readout of gar consumption had gone down by 30 kms. Turn around, go home again, park the car on the road and have Tiff come out and drive me to work in the other care, because mine clearly has a leak in the fuel line.
Three attempts to get out of the house almost had me call in sick. Almost, but curiosity got the better of me. The axe is still falling in NSW, so I'm still not sure what the fallout for my accounts will be yet. Once I know who's been cut, I'll have to prepare a few things and get to know some replacements, then train them to see things my way:)
What a day, what a week. I'm glad there was good food, ready access to good wine, and a fantastic girl to snuggle with at the end of it all.

Gearing up
It's Thursday night, the weekend is so close I can taste it ticking the back of my tongue like chocolate ripple ice cream.
I've a weekend planned that might wind up being a messy one, given the stressy week that has been, and the amount of wine on my wine rack.
We have three known house guests coming this weekend, all here in town to attend Queensland's biggest perve event of the year, a kinksters version of Guinness records. I'm only participating in two events this year- placement of the most clothepegs on a scrotum (not mine, obviously!) and also in a tandem caning event. I'm also a DM for the night. Records night typically includes 100-150 people- which to my friends in London will seem like a small party, but it is big news here, and always a spectacularly fun night.
So the house is messy, the vaccuming needs doing, beds need making, and all I'm concerned about is cramming enough wine in the fridge to chill and looking forward to unwinding with some of the most bizarrely fun people I know.
Cheers!

Safe on First!
Drama drama all round at work today. Bottom line- I am safe until end of financial year, June 30 when there may be further cutbacks. Have also been warned that there may be wage freeze instated, but that current pay scale, current bonus structure will remain as per contract. Surprised to find it was not all underlings that went- those out the door in our (head) office included management. Some did not take it gracefully, partaking in a little sabotage by way of deleting documentation which would make the handover easier and needing to be physically escorted off premises.
We lost 30 people- I'm still waiting for final numbers for New South Wales, which is the state I manage the portfolio for. They are already trying to manage the natural expectation that people will jump ship in the coming months, by indicating that those who stick it out will be rewarded. I've faith the company will make it through- they have successfully weather three other economic slowdowns by recognizing the issues in advance, and taking steps- like now- to cut back before it becomes an absolute necessity.
I like my work, I'm happy to stick around for now. Temp wage freeze is not off putting- I'm payed 10 grand more then my last role, and I'd rather HAVE a steady wage then nit pick about 60 bucks a week, especially with the indication being that at end of freeze, raise is immediate with an extra thrown in to thank people for sticking around.
Tension filled times at the office, and happy there is a little breathing space for me.
Great commute home, chatting with co worker for half of the journey that we share, and wound up debating whether really well hung midget men can tuck their willy into their sock, and how that must be a really fucking odd sensation for them. Half the train car got quiet to listen in and be amused by us.
Came home to a fantastic full roast dinner. NOW I am slowly beginning to remember the joys of a partner who works shift work. She is very good to me. Now if only I could convince her to put out three times daily...

I should have stayed in bed
The girlfriend went back to her first night shift in months last night, after months of daytime classwork. So I slept only fitfully all night, as the bed felt big and empty without her.
Woke up too groggy to contemplate breakfast so poured a coffee in a travel mug intending to eat at the office.
Got to station in time to see the train pulling away. While waiting for the next train, I realized I had left my coffee on the kitchen counter at home. Normally 50 minute journey took 95 minutes, due to multiple long stopages waiting for faulty signals on the tracks.
Got to work to be told of massive, company wide non voluntary redundancies. Our dept is one of lucky ones- we are losing at least 3 of our 14 team. And the kicker is we do not know who. They are planning to tell people on a one to one basis throughout the week. I'm fairly certain that I am secure, but until the announcements are all complete, I won't feel safe. And the suckful thing is even if I am safe, someone I know will be upset before the week is over.
It was a rough atmosphere to work in today.
And come home to find another drama from the real estate agent, who is trying to oncharge us for an emergency plumer bill.
Tommorow will be better. Right?
