Operation Diva (OD)

I am a Diva, well as least I was in a former lifetime and I intend on getting back to the state of DIVAness (I expect
to see this word in the Macquarie Dictionary in the near future).

I am late 30’s, newly single, fat, frumpy, fitness challenged, brain dead, hilarious compared to a Kathy Reichs
best seller with the personality of a beige wall and yet, I know I am more.

I am in a state of emptiness, and I have decided it is time for me to change. I have to get off my arse, get fit, get rid of the extra person not paying rent living in my body, meet people, get interesting, find the IQ points I have lost, and get back to living.

I'm Back - Original post date February 7 2009

I am so happy to be back writing again. I have missed you all.

I have to apologise to you all for not being on here. Obviously, I didn’t fall off the planet, but my pc did. I had input errors (story of my life but I will talk about that later) and my monitor would turn off. My wonderful nephew got it working, and when I got it home, it came up with the same problem. It went to the Dr today. There was nothing wrong with it. Apparently it happens. Bull shit. I haven’t gone without a pc for almost 4 months for there not to be anything wrong with it. Anyway, I got it home and the bloody thing is working no problems. The bloody bastard PC.

A lot has happened since I last wrote. I nearly killed fuck stick. Honestly. He was so stressed that he had to leave on an emergency flight back home to have tests in hospital. My boss was OS for work and he stupidly left me alone to deal with FS. I messaged him and said that if I didn’t work from home the following day I would kill him, to which boss man said do whatever you have to, to get through. It was a Monday and after almost 12 weeks training, every time I got up to pee, go to a meeting, make a cuppa he would say, sorry, but I have confusion. The last thing I said to him before I took my laptop and handbag was, ‘you don’t have time for confusion, I don’t have time for confusion, just bloody do it’. I stormed out of the office. I worked from home the next day and got an email from his team leader to say he was sick and unable to come in. I got to work the next day to find out he was extremely ill and no longer with the program. Good grief. We ended up being able to get a local hire but not until Jan 09, so I was doing his role plus mine. Ended up nearly breaking the loo door at work with a hissy fit, and ended up getting wonder chick as a temp for a month.

This brings me to another point. Blonde and Wonder Chick left me. Blonde has a great job serving (not servicing) our community and Wonder Chick works with Bruce. Brilliant.

Bruce, Wonder Chick, renamed Papa D (DD) and Smorgos (cute, married, Swedish man, but not as hot as Bruce of course!) and I went to my ‘tied for first’ favourite wine region and had a total blast. Lots of food, WINE, laughs, food, WINE, laughs and brilliant times, awesome in fact. One memory I will treasure.

It is great to be able to have work friends that when you need to, you can be professional, unbiased, and business like, and then be able to turn a switch and be friends.

I have a new friend, Foxy. One of the most amazing chicks on the planet. Everything about her is full on and fabulous. As much as my job drives me nuts, it has introduced me to some wonderful people.

I will update you next entry on my love life, or lack thereof, plus other interesting insights into my life as a DIVA.
