Heat, nevra and me............

There seems to be no break in this relentless heat we are having lately.

TopChef brought home an alarm clock the other night which also tells the temperature. How great you may say! Yeah, did i mention it's a 'Hello Kitty' cube clock that changes into 4 different pastel shades and the 'alarm' is a meow followed by a ringtone???????

To say I am seriously questioning the man's sanity, let alone his other preferences are an understatement. He says its cute and he thought i would like it. Obviously after a year of living together, he hasn't noticed my complete and total aversion to cats in any shape or form, living, in photo's and especially on cube alarm clocks a 35 year old man brings home!!!!!!!!!!!

I woke up this morning stuck to my bedsheets thanks to the heat. And thats with a dehumidifier and a fan going 24/7. So, I woke up feeling icky and annoyed and henceforth my entire day seemed to go on like that.

As I precariously walked down the road towards Fira some MENSA candidate on a scooter whacked into my side. My phone went flying through the air and made a resounding crash. Not to mention the friction burn from the wheel on my leg. I lost it. I mean I totally and completely lost the head. I turned around with what can only be considered a devil stare and was so angry I couldn't speak.

To add insult to injury, the girl who was driving the death trap said i should have been looking where I was going....Sorry darlin' but God didn't give me eyes in the back of my head, nor did he warn me that a moron like you would be on the road today.

I found my voice after getting over the shock and started screaming at her. Then of course i was totally being unreasonable and told her I wanted her name cause i was going to the police station to report her......she got scared then, also because she suddenly realised I wasnt a tourist and apologized profusely.
My response?? I acted like a sullen moody child stuck my chin in the air, made a snorting sound and stamped down towards the square mumbling obscenities under my breath.

I get to work, and am trying to think positive thoughts, balance my Chi or whatever its called when i get a phone call to inform me that I have to stay an extra 2 hours at work to await a late arrival.
Just to be clear, in normal circumstances I wouldn't mind. I rarely leave work once my shift is over, usually hang over to check over certain things but I had made plans this particular night.

I forgot to mention, i had already informed work that I had made plans, which was of no need cause i should have been off the clock but turns out anyway, I ended up missing the cocktails and went straight for beer and Jack Daniels.......(more on that later)

So i threw a total hissy fit in my office. I was completely alone by the way....weeped a little bit at the unfairness of it all and generally acted like a brat.

And then something happened........

I was online reading newspapers when a story popped up about the fires in Moscow and i thought to myself. WOW, how selfish are you? Living in an amazing place, looking at this view every day and having the friends you have.........

and then i realised its AUGUST and i am totally right to be a complete bitch for this entire month ;-P

Anyway, after 2 hours overtime i ended up at The Bar where i was dutifully handed a cold Corona and a shot of JD. The night progressively got more and more messy as more shots were laid on and beer was flowing like nectar from the Gods.

One of the group hooked up with some Italian and another cut and run before the final round of shots. I however, stayed until the sun was just coming up and collapsed into my bed at around 6am.
