Man trouble and blind drunk interview techniques



Today has not been good. I should have stayed in bed.

Things that make a bad Tuesday:
  • Running out of tea bags without caffeine I am neither pleasant nor useful)
  • Falling over when getting off the bus
  • Ripping stockings in said fall and having to spend £7 on new ones
  • The fact that I made myself bleed in the fall
  • The lack of sympathy from my workmates
  • Ted looking at me and saying "You look TERRIBLE Kate."
  • Jamie's new girlfriend

I know I shouldn't be jealous. We are just friends. Who flirt and text occasionally thats it. But he is being so annoying. If I hear one more word about his hot date tonight I might accidently spill tea on him.

I decide that revenge flirting is promptly needed. I consider calling Chris the sweet journalist. Then I remember my last attempt at flirting with him nearly lead to a restraining order.

I sigh - maybe this is a good thing I can stop having mixed feelings for a colleague and yet knowing I should not act on it. It will be a good thing. This is a good day. Then just when I perk up one the elastic in one of my stockings promptly snaps. Making a noise. While I am wearing a short skirt.

Yes having hosiery fall off your leg must be as bad as it gets...

"Katie?" Ted calls "Did I tell you that you need to give a presentation in the meeting on Friday?"

Kill me now...

  2. Haha I CAN'T WAIT to read how this turns out between you and Jamie. As for teabags - keep a spare supply in your desk. I do.
    PS if there are any buttons/gadgets or whatever on my blog you like, I'll gladly talk you through doing it. The header is easy - you just have to find a picture you like. I think this would be good for your blog:

  9. God, I know, there are some of those days you just wanna give up, lie down on the floor and curle op into a foetus-position. If only this was possible without being admitted into a mental hospital...
    Besides, if you want caffeïne, you should really consider drinking coffee.
    Even if you are English.
    And keep a spare pare of stocking in your bag or drawer.
    You are hilarious!
