I'm bored.

I haven't been givenn a portfolio yet, I've finished the piece of work that kept me busy last week, and the next one lined up doesn't start until tomorrow. That's out in Leigh on an industrial estate - nothing like a bit of mid-week glamour to up the excitement. I think I might have been misunderstood when I was jumping up & down & demanding to be let back onto the truck jobs; this one's Norbert Dentressangle, who might drive the things, but don't make them, and it's the manufacture that's the fun bit. The production line at Leyland Trucks looks like the biggest Meccano set In The World Ever - you start with a stick of metal and bolt bits on as it goes back & forwards along the floor until you have a custom-built truck. It's fabulous, and I want that client back, Now.

I dyed my hair last night; inch long roots make me look as if I'm going thin on top. Unfortunately, I left it a little late & didn't have time for the proper conditioner afterwards. As a result, I'm Static Girl! today. Sensitive hair nothing; I look as if I've had a balloon rubbed against my head.

Made the mistake of looking at [livejournal.com profile] theladiesloos this morning in my boredom. The CJTC is still there, and it still appears impossible to criticise the community without being flamed, insulted & told to shut up & go away.

Anyway, the weekend in Shropshire was excellent. I should resolve to go on holiday with chefs (professional & otherwise) more often. [livejournal.com profile] professoryaffle is a superb organiser, [livejournal.com profile] minspi needs to work less (or I'll bring out the guilt trips), [livejournal.com profile] dr_wez made monkeks, [livejournal.com profile] nurse_liz is a Glorious Leader, [livejournal.com profile] nannyo a fab knitting partner, [livejournal.com profile] rms a well trained wool bitch, [livejournal.com profile] geekpsi wore a kilt, and the others proved that you don't need an LJ to be Real People. Photos are pending approval.

I think the problem isn't so much with the criticism as with the anon criticism!

I don't have an email address for you... need your postal address.

I reacted "strongly" to seeing the CJTC in the 'Loos.

PS I approve the photos, even though I'm never wearing that skirt with that top again...

Do you think we could tranquilise [livejournal.com profile] minspi with a blowdart, and set up some sort of electronic sensor and shock system so that he can only work during your actual WORKING hours? Hmmm, could we set a guilt trap?

I'd be up for a holiday, even if it's just a weekend!

I also approve the photos (and do so on behalf of the Hadleys too).

'Twas a fantastic weekend.

I don't see real ladies' loos as a wonderful thing because whenever I'm not the only one in the toilets, there's a group of yappy, bigoted and irritating women leaning over all the sinks doing their makeup in the mirror and looking at you as if you've committed a criminal offence when you say "excuse me, please may I get to the sink". That's pretty much why I didn't join the LJ community and, er, yes.

Pah and poo. Glad I left the loos when I did. *le sigh*
