We moved office recently into newly refurbished still smell the paint offices. It really is remarkable after working in a dingy armpit which was far too cold in the winter and swelteringly sweaty in the summer!
Now, there is a constant humm of the new aircon, murmer of the large open plan office and we have a kewl hitech door openy thingy! Mental note Regina, when you are "voguing" with your new headset, lots of people can see you and not just the usual seven you sit with!
The plus side of sitting by the door with the new hitech door openy thingy is; people have the tendancy to forget their passes, so they have to be nice to me so I can let them in.
My moody boss has an office over three times the size of his previous one. Now hopefully when he farts it will probably diffuse into the air con system and fart out on the top floor or something as opposed to asphyxiating me everyday causing temporary unconciousness.
The kitchen is amazing; it has instant hot water and a dish washer!
Le ladies toilets are on every other floor and we have already made a note to visit the one below instead of above. The people who frequent the one above are nasty! It makes a change to have access to six cubicles between four floors as opposed to two between five floors!
I am one of the lucky few with a view. We are located opposite some big financial company so the views I get are a line up of people standing outside smoking. It really is amazing how many people stand outside offices to smoke. Personally I think it's a bit nasty to rock up to an office and be greeted by fifteen smokers!
Oh i have stopped smoking .. ahh yeah! At the moment, the smell of it makes me hurl, so I can see it lasting far more than 1 week this time round!

Vogue
I iz Madonna!
I've got a new ear/ head piece for my desk phone so now I can sit at my desk and vogue whilst pitching! ahh yeah! I have asked my work colleagues to address me as Madonna for the next few days, but I am quite sure the novelty will wear off in a day or two.
There have already been a few occasions where I have forgotten I am still on the phone or forgot that I am plugged to the phone and walk away from my desk taking the phone with me.
It is a fabulous disguise to look as though I am on the phone whilst surfing Sky New's showbiz website, which incidentally is the most viewed site amongst colleagues.
As usual, the earpiece doesn't sit on my ear comfortably or ergonomically. On my way to work this morning watched with envy at lucky ones with earphones sitting comfortably in their ears and longed to have the same. Without a shadow of a doubt, the most annoying thing which can happen to me in a day is my earphones falling out of my ears. I could get nudged, miss my train, have someone step on my toe, lose my ticket, get stuck in a tunnel but those wouldn't bother me in the slightest compared to my earphones falling out!

Dark Ages
I really am living in the dark ages at the moment. Not only do i not have a TV, but now my umbicular chord to the world has temporarily been removed, on a plane 7 hours away which i will now not see for 2 weeks. ummm.
From the bottom of my heart, I donated baby Princess Philoola powerbook to my work colleague before realising that I cannot watch my Sex and the City box set for 2 weeks. It wasn't until i reached home and saw the empty space where Princess Philoola lay, but instead was an empty space with rectangle barely visable in the carpet.
The room started to slowly rotate around me followed by agonising screaming and a slap on the forehead "nnNNOOOOoooo!". The sound echoed in my ribcage for the remainder of the day.
No I'm only kidding and being a drama queen! But really, I don't have my laptop for 2 weeks - its bad enough not having a TV! What's a gal to do?! Well i've finally picked up my issue of Wallpaper from 2 months ago and started reading through that.
Other news, if ever I felt like telling someone to shatdafackap it would be right about now. The lady sitting opposite me is nice but the gobbiest person on earth with severe inadequacy issues hence her gobbiness and delusions of granduer. It's funny how every so often I attract deludedly grandeur typa people who constantly feel the need to raise their roof and set fire to mine without me having said a word. Perhaps I should carry a flame thrower around with me and just blast the hell out of them. Giving them a verbal undressing gets boring after a while and frankly this breed of person tends to leave the door wide open for such comments.
I will let the gobmeister carry on her reign for now as her time will surely come. She has the worst telephone manner I have ever known anyone to have in the UK. Thinking about it, she will perfectly fit in Dobuy where it is perfectly acceptable to bark orders down the phone to people and resort to personal insults if they make the slightest slip up.
She actually woofed at me the other day "Regina, you tell people what to do, not ask them to do it"!
Yes lav, carry on like that and you will only be able to handle a small geography of people as you currently are.
