Today's ninemsn newspoll really PISSES ME OFF......
"Should gay people be allowed to donate blood?"
14383 people say YES, 13005 people say NO..... so far
What's wrong with my blood?! Nothing!
Meanwhile - I'm back from my fleeting trip to UK/Europe....had a fantastic time. 58 hours of flying in one month - go the FF points!
Not in the mood to write about it all now...... I need to find a job too *sigh*

So tomorrow is my last day at work.... i have mixed emotions, but I think I'm happy to be leaving. Particularly happy to be getting rid of the stress.
The support has been amazing, I have had a farewell breakfast, 5 lunches, an afternoon tea and 2 cocktail parties - how wonderful. I have just come home from a booze up with the sales team with the Langham Hotel, which was beautiful. I'm feeling very spoilt at the moment, yet incredibly anxious/nervous/excited about the future.
Farewell Crown and hello unemployment!

So I booked a ticket to London last week, VERY exciting! I'm only going for about 3 weeks, but as I will be out of a job soon I have to be good!!
I'm so lucky because beautiful Ruth is letting me stay with her for a while which is so so kind! Thanks baby girl!! I'm then going over to Munich to see my friend Reiner and play with German boys! hehehhe, THEN, Bob (my old boss in Ireland) has invited me to go and stay at Glin Castle for a couple of days which will be SO unreal. Can't wait to go back and see everyone again. Then, back to London to spend some time with Trent, and then I should start looking for a job!!!
I have so much to do before I finish on the 12th, I hate thinking about it. I've spent today reading over contracts and drafting emails- GREAT. Although, I spent a couple of hours this morning baking Anzac biscuits!!! yum yum yum! I have a good couple of weeks after I finish to get ready for my trip to London. I'm going to go for walks everyday and just chill out. I really CAN"T WAIT! I've been sick for almost a week now with some horrid cold, I'm in love with Codral, I want to marry it. It is such a good companion!
Ok, going now :-)

1. We work in weird shifts.... Like prostitutes
2. They pay you to make the client happy..... Like a prostitute
3. The client pays a lot of money, but your employer keeps almost every penny.................. Like a prostitute
4. You are rewarded for fulfilling the client's dreams...Like a prostitute
5. Your friends fall apart and you end up hanging out with people in the same profession as you............like a prostitute
6. When you have to meet the client you always have to be perfectly groomed............... like a prostitute
7. But when you go back home it seems like you are coming back from hell...............like a prostitute
8. The client always wants to pay less but expects incredible things from you.............. like a prostitute
9. When people ask you about your job, you have difficulties to explain it....................like a prostitutes
10. Everyday when you wake up, you say: I'M NOT GONNA SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE DOING THIS.....like a prostitute
I will not be a prostitute as of the 12th May :-)

I resigned (for the 2nd and final time!!!) Yep, finish on the 12th May.
Returned from annual leave on Monday, decided that I don't need to put up with the SHIT that I deal with on a daily basis so I'm leaving!
Not sure what I'll do, maybe travel, maybe become an alcoholic, maybe a stockbroker, lawyer, librarian, butler - who knows!? I"m just glad that i have made this decision and will be free in a month. Cheers.

...with Melbourne. I absolutely LOVE this city. It is definately one of the best cities in the world. I was at the closing night of Dusty last night (which was a hoot), however what got me into this infatuation with our city was when I walked out of the theatre (albeit somewhat pissed from the champagne) and saw how many people were out and about!
Obviously with Comm Games here it sends a contageous 'happy vibe' through everyone. The city looked hot, the yarra looked hot with the light show, everyone looked hot!!
I could keep going on about how much I like it, BUT, go play in the city and see what I'm talking about. Even those people who usually bag everything about Melbourne are changing their tune....
On another note - for the first time in WELL over a year, I hit the dancefloor and had a bit of a bender. Yep, I ended up at The Greyhound of all places which would have to be one of the most dodgiest looking pubs around, but plays awesome music. I was dancing until 3am pretty much non-stop - fabulous. A TOTALLY fabulous night.
Current mood:  energetic Current music: DUSTY!

So today, I went to inspect an apartment that was for sale and there was this horrid BLACK cat that kept following me around. From the minute I walked into the place it wouldn't leave me alone. Seeings as though I hate cats so much, I let it follow me into one of the bedrooms, then, I had this urge to put it in the wardrobe! So I did, and closed the door, then walked out. Is that really mean? I'm feeling really guiilty about it now.
Current mood:  guilty

Yesterday I arrived at work to see a dozen security guards and 4 policeman hanging around a guy in a Crown Towers bathrobe....turns out he was a homeless man who had decided to go swimming in the pool on Level 3 in a g-string!!!! That's all the information I needed to know! crazy.
Following that I got into an elevator with two of the biggest, scariest, she-males in the world......Venus and Serena Williams. whoah.

I was hanging around in the lobby with some clients and I swung my arm out and accidentally hit someone. In true Dave style, I had hit Jimmy Barnes. Oops.
What else.... hmmm work work, nothing else. 70 hour weeks, lots of entertaining and hardly any sleep. If I'm not careful, I'm going to end up looking as haggered as Jimmy Barnes soon. Thank god for Lab Series 'Eye Rescue'.
Have been a bit down and out lately - think it's just a combination of a lot of things. ahhh well,everyone goes through it i guess.
Merry Ho Ho HO

....So, I've just come home from attending my first Fashion Week Launch. The Autumn Collection of Wayne Cooper was on show tonight....interesting. Lots of black, floral and crushed items!Heaps of champagne, lots of fuckwits and media....it's really what I expected it to be. Sex and the City in Melbourne. However, where was Carie and Samantha?!
On another note, I had an AWFUL meeting with my boss today. I feel as though I am being forced out. He wants me to go away and think if I really want to be doing the job I am doing......I was really taken by suprise. He clearly doesn't think that i"m working hard enough. However, today, for example I put in a 15 hour day...HELLOOOOOO!!!!!! I don't know what to do...... I'm 25 for crying out loud. Any suggestions.
Meanwhile, my apartment is full of boxes and the removalist is coming tomorrow..I'm moving on home on Friday and seem to be the only one organising stuff with real estate agents, cleaners, removalists and storage shed people. Dean just works 9.01 - 4.59pm and comes home and watches Home and Away!!! I know of 4 people who have committed suicide in the past week and I just feel incredibly stressed! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.........someone help me please??????!!!!
Anyway... enough of that... how is everyone?

I love this time of year, but FUCK it's busy.
I entertained 60 clients in our marquee at the races on Saturday. It was such a beautiful day, but holy shit, I am really hating the fact that there are SO many underage drinkers and blind drunk teenagers at the races. I saw a girl throw up all over her boyfriend 4 times!! So not classy. I then got in stuck in the middle of a full on brawl..... like, umm hello!! I just bitch slapped my way out of it and back to the marquee for a glass of giggles!
This week is just as bad with a Dinner for BMW, a sales retreat this weekend down to Queenscliffe and preparing for Fashion Week next week! Very exciting - I get to go behind the scenes too - lets pray for nudity!!!
A couple of other things to say:
~ Happy Birthday Meelio!!! Hope you had a good day!!!!!
~ All the best to everone who is in 'Witches' I'm sure it will be fabulous!!!! I'll be thinking of you all.

My second largest piece of business worth $604,052.65 has gone! I spent HALF A YEAR working on it....secured it (yay) but then the new managing director of the company decided to change the dates to suit HIM...not the 300+ other people! Did I have availability?! NOOOOOO! So now fucking NSW or QLD will get it. So when someone next asks me 'How are you today?' I'm going to be honest and say 'FUCKING SHIT THANK YOU'....in the nicest possible way of course.
That is now $600K out of my budget and KPI's that I need to get back within 4 months..... I feel sick, I feel like crying, I feel like screaming. *breathe in, breathe out*
On another note, I am moving home to Sandringham, YEP. HoWEVER, Dean had to choose the busiest month to decide it! I have so much entertaining happening for work this month including the weekends for race days! So what does he do...makes DERBY DAY OUR DAY TO MOVE OUT!!!!!!!!!!! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not happy. No fucking long weekend for me to booze up and hussy my ass around town..... instead I'll be moving boxes of 'fuck knows what' down south with a bloody bottle of champagne strapped to my side.
I'm very worked up tonight.......very FUCKING worked up.
Current mood:  angry

It's that time of the year where i get locked in my apartment whilst 95.000+ people invade the MCG. ohhhhh well, it's very exciting. The apartment opposite mine has their West Goat banner out on the balcony so I think I need to put something out on mine! something Sydney...
Oh well, I'm WAAAAAAY hungover today. I actually passed out on my bed still in my suit. I woke up at 6am in my crushed suit with my tie and shirt undone..... I also bought a burger from HJ's on my way home, but, I can't find it!!! I actually think i'm still pissed because I've been laughing out loud, by myself, at nothing, alll morning! Actually, I watched the footy breakfast, fuck it was funny! Well I thought it was anyway.
Think I might go to GayAZ this weekend, should be a hoot and I have free tix! hooray for free tix,,, hooray!!
Ok - time for a greasy breakfast... .
