I've decided to have dinner at Laura's tonight but I sent her a text and told her I wasn't going to stay over. I'll get there at about 6 and leave at 10 before all the pubs empty. I figure it's a halfway compromise. I don't want to shun her entirely
OOOH, and on a totally unrelated note check out my user info. It's now counting down in days to the time
drbillbongo arrives. 30 days! EEE!

Aug. 15th, 2005 10:13 pmLost 3.5lbs this week. Not quite as much as I hoped for but a start. I dunno if things will slow down now I've done a week or whether I'll continue to lose 3lbs a week if I stick to the diet. We'll see I guess.
Dinner with Laura was actually not that bad. We didn't really talk much about work at all just general girly chats so maybe I was overreacting :)
Things getting a bit silly at work. Boss's deputy is moving to another office for at least 3 months and she needed a replacement. It came down to me or Greg as we've both been there the longest and both passed the management assessment. She chose Greg. I didn't really mind, although the extra responsibility (and money) would have been nice but when Greg asked why she chose him over me she couldn't give a reason other than 'I had to pick one of you' Greg wasn't really happy with that so now we're going to take it in turns. He's going to deputise when boss goes on holiday next month and I'll do it the next time. Kind of reminded me of a parent teaching children to share a favourite toy by making them take turns with it. It was almost patronising.
I did feel quite guilty though. Not sure I'd have questioned the decision if she'd picked me :(

I can count on one hand the number of fanfiction writers that have reduced me to tears. There's another one
