Nov. 7th, 2001 01:45 pmBoss: "That's a nice umbrella"
Me: "Yes it's fantastic isn't it?"
I'm sorry but it really is - it's the most beautiful umbrella ever. I may have a red-lined matt silver dress made to match.
Today at work a letter addressed 'Dear Chief Socialiser' was passed to me on account of it being a 'Rhoda thing.' Well really! What sort of reputation do I have around here? *coughs politely*
It was a pub/xmas party invite. And it seems to be right round the corner from Dan Fairs' house and have cheap offers....oh, I'm a sucker for advertising.
I got into another of those "Why you are single/why are you single?" discussions again this morning. I even have them with people from work now.
One last week was along the lines of
"You need a nice man to look after you"
"There aren't any"
"Ooh we're not all bad, don't tar us all with the same brush"
"Well don't patronise me then"
etc etc
Why exactly is my choice to stay single such an endlessly fascinating topic for men? Women never ask me about it, ever. They just accept that I can be happy on my own. I'm just not the girlfriend type and I don't particularly care, and that's all there is to it. *bangs head against wall*
Oh and if Someone is going to spam my journal with silly pictures of themself and then delete them they should remember that I have them all on the e-mails informing me of a response. Mwuahaha.
