camping & cows - 08:30 AM
going camping today for two nights for my birthday!! (which was yesterday in case you didn't know.) yay!!! my sweetheart & i just have a couple of things to do before we head off. mcgarnicle the magic dog is going to stay at my mum & dad's place while we're away so he doesn't get lonely. we have to get him some food before we take him there so they can feed him.
there's one other thing that we have to do .. (drum roll) .. get my nostril pierced! yay! it's my honey's birthday present to me. what a great present hey?!? i'm pretty excited about it. i don't know if i've ever mentioned it here before but my first ever other-than-ear piercing (done with a gun before i knew any better) was my nostril. that was about two years ago i think. i had to keep changing it for work & it was never very happy (not surprisingly, being done with a gun) so i gave up on it & took it out. i've always loved it, though, & finally decided that i'd get it done again. in fact, the reason that i got my tongue done originally was that i couldn't get my nostril done because of my cleaning work at the time. i've never really considered the original one a proper piercing since it was done with a gun.
so yesterday i turned twenty-eight. can you believe that?!?!?! does this mean that i have to start being a grown up now? noooooooooo!
later that night ..
well, no camping after all. bummer. it's raining like it's never going to stop, not hard, but just kind of drizzling. sort of like melbourne weather really. it's too miserable to go camping in the rain so we're going to leave it for another weekend.
big cows all 'round about my new nostril piercing. i rang dad & told him about it before i was going around to pick the dog back up (we'd already dropped him there earlier) because i was hoping he'd have his cow beforehand & get it over & done with by the time i got there. true to form he had a big one. basically told me that i no longer have a job! the company that i work for is part owned (30%) by my dad's company so i'm thinking that he is not my boss & he has no right to sack me. i can't believe that he even said it!! unbelievable!! i'm quite willing (& planned to anyway) ask pat (my boss) whether he would like me to wear a retainer to work & i'll do that if he asks, no problem at all .. but it's not up to my dad to make that decision. i can see that even if pat says yes i can wear the tiny, miniscule, microscopic stud in my nose, dad's going to put pressure on him to not let me wear it. i don't want that. we'll see.
i'm almost inclined to just tell him to stick his job (even though it's not his, like i said) but i really like it & i don't want to give it up just to spite him.
