Adventures in the Life of a Book Retail Assistant


It’s 5:57.
Closing 6:00pm.
A woman just tried to engage me in a conversation about The Costello Memoirs*. No thanks.
It’s still really quite bright outside.
Cheers Daylight Savings, you make my life that much more confusing for about one week, twice a year.

* Peter Costello, former deputy leader of parliament, then the opposition, who was vying for the top job for ages, then when it was available, said he didn’t want it. He wrote a book. Yippee.

s is…

a) really cold  
b) quite tired
c) not enjoying being back at uni
and
d) deciding if her chemistry practical demonstrator looked better before he cut his hair, or now.

These are deep and extremely important observations and insights into my life and psyche. Feel honoured to be sharing in them.

 So this outfit cost me about $65.
The shoes, were a gift from my sister.
The belt and bag are both from op shops, my guess would be Savers, and the bag is technically, my sisters, therefore, also free.
The top/dress [unsure lengthwise, though in summer it will probably be ok] and the pants were $30 each!!!

My excitement knows no bounds.

Mostly because the pants were $140 full price. And I love them.
Perhaps not the most flattering pants I could own, as you would’ve seen in the other photo I have which wouldn’t upload. But just think of that as something to look forward to. Cause its 12.24am and well past my bedtime I’m telling you!

blog.com formatter go die, it got so much better recently, new bells and whistles, but it remains that my posts look Nothing Like What They Look Like In The Editor. Which in my opinion, is a BIT OF A FLAW. Maybe I should change background or something, variety is the spice of life after all.

For interested parties, I think the answer to d is before, but all is well, hair grows back.

I could’ve dragged this out.

But I didn’t so here is one massive post made up of lots of little tid bits from my day.

********************************************************************************************

Wish and you shall receive! There are several cd’s I want at the moment but how excited was I when my mum brought home one of them today*.

Summer at Eureka is Pete Murray’s new one and so far I love You Pick Me Up [single], Chance To Say Goodbye [track 1] and Happy Ground [11 - last].
Funny that I like the first and the last. Good track arranging Pete ol’ boy. Good times are afoot people. update: I also like 6; Sugar.

I included this cause I couldn’t find one of the album
and I couldn’t be bothered taking my own.

That, and its just a cool photo.

*******************************************************************************************

OH and I FOUND MY CAMERA. How exciting. Funnily enough taking pics for this wee blog is not its only use so I am quite ecstatic to have found it. Excellent timing though cause I’m now on swot vac and thus am only leaving the house for work or short unplanned outings. Thus outfit posting will probably be minimal. But you weren’t expecting anything better were you. Today, for example I left the house in my year 12 rugby jumper from school. I know, I was shocked too.
*******************************************************************************************
Currently in the process of painting my nails a sad thing has caught my attention. My favourite nail polish is almost dead. It is a sad day. I think this is the second nail polish I’ve ever actually finished in my life. Its only about 4 months old!. Maybe 5. But still. You know why, its cause its recently become my sisters favourite nail polish too. RUDE. Maybe she should buy the next one. Or if I get a darker one she won’t wear it. I want a darker one anyway really. Yay, problem solved. Not that I can afford ANYTHING these days but OH WELL I’ll just put it on the to get list thats not getting any shorter any time soon.
*******************************************************************************************
Today I…
* knitted till my wrist hurt! Old injury, new aggravation. Damnit!
* did a surprising amount of chemistry revision. I’m the worlds worst studier did I mention? I impressed myself today :).
* made more button rings, my sister got more rings yay, I’ll take pics on my newly found camera soon, my nails are half done atm would NOT be cute.
*******************************************************************************************

RIP YSL @ 71 :(

I Absolutely Have To Take Off My Nail Polish NOW.

No my names not Lola. Or Charlie for that matter*.

In other news while waiting for the bus today** this sweet bike was chained to the pole with the timetable on it you know the one. Yeah. And cause I had nothing better to do I took piccys on my phone, some were zoomed and some not so I’ve standardised the size [gotta love photoshop] but please forgive any blurriness.

How cool would it be to ride up to uni on this. If only I lived that close to uni/owned said bike/could be bothered cycling to uni when its as cold and, as you can see, wet as it was today.

* Apologies to those who’ve got no idea what I mean, get some Lauren Child books IMMEDIATELY. They’ve kids books but they’re great.
** waiting for a bus that NEVER CAME I was not amazingly early to work as I thought I would be because I had to catch a tram to the train and eugh.

UPDATE in the what I wore today saga I seem to have created, I CAN’T FIND MY CAMERA. NO SHIT. *tears*. Anyway, today I wore a top from topshop my sister got me overseas, jeans by seduce, a jacket by bardot and HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE FOOTWEAR. It had yet to rain properly when I left my house. Peep toe flats made of material are NOT wet weather shoes, believe me.
