Todd was kind enough to

Todd was kind enough to take me to a play this evening. Stones in His Pockets was a play at the small, steep Herald Theatre at the Aotea Centre. The many characters were played by two men. At first, I worried that the characters weren't clear cut enough for me to tell them apart but once we got into the First Act it was clear which characters were which. It was a good play and a lovely evening. Todd and I ate asian at the Strand and I tried really hard not to talk about work :) --------

Monday night.. is it over

Monday night.. is it over yet? My inner child is rocking fit to burst. I hate being this far out of my comfort zone. The weekend was really lovely, but far too short. I spent it at Greg's place while he was away. I took my computer and we had a mini-LAN and it was lovely. Upgraded to XP and my computer looks 5 years younger! The monitor is still doing weird things, I think it's on its way out. Damn shame, I love it so.

Drinks with the boys on Wednesday if it all goes according to plan - Chris and Todd and that guy Pete [maybe] and maybe Jonathan too. Sonia might show up but with all those lovely, interesting, good looking men I wonder why I invited anyone else when I could have been the centre of the universe. Todd phoned today, he started his new job today and seemed happy but of course, he was missing us - I could hear it in his voice *grins*.

Work is Mad. It's a long week already. *working smarter - calling in sick*

Her: My daughter wants to buy a Mac.
Jam: Thats good. Macs are good.
Her: A G3.
Jam: Oh, yep.
Her: You know what that means?
Jam: Yes.
Her: Are they good?
Jam: Yes, Macs are good.
Her: Better than PCs?
Jam: Well. That's debatable. They're more expensive than PCs.
Her: Whys that?
Jam: Cos they're better?
Her: so she should buy it?
Jam: if she wants it, yeh.
Her: how much should she pay for it?
Jam: gosh, I'd really have no idea.
Her: yes you do.
Jam: no, I don't.
Her: you must know, you bought a Mac.
Jam: this is a second hand G3?
Her: yep
Jam: nah, I have no idea.. I know what the new Macs are new, but not an older Mac, secondhand. I wouldn't know.
Her: you must know.
Jam: I don't know. They don't even make them anymore, do they?
Her: yes they do.
Jam: but they've been superceded twice at least since then. surely they're not still making G3s.
Her: yes, they are.
Jam: how do you know?
Her: Because we've been comparing the prices of new G3s.
Jam: so... why are you asking ME if you already KNOW
Her: cos YOU HAVE A MAC. --------
