LIZWA PTY LTD ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2007
PRESENT: LIZ, CEO
APOLOGIES: A VALENTINE
AGENDA:
1. Valentine's Day
I was going to get my fellow Valentine-less flatmate Vanja a rose yesterday, but they were ten bucks. So I bought a card. On the way home from Central I contemplated whether to pretend it was from an anonymous secret admirer. So yes I got home, wrote inside "Vanja... xx" and left it on the
INTERMISSION WITH KATE ON PHONE
doorstep of our appartment. I sat on the couch watching TV, waiting with baited breath for the rustling of plastic bags and the flip flop of her thongs echoing in the stairwell outside. Finally the time came. She paused, probably to pick up the envelope, while I mentally prepated myself, much like an actor would do before a big scene, to feign complete surprise and amazement. The door opened, I turned my head from the TV , like I normally do, and as I opened my mouth to ask her the most unsuspect of questions ("How was wor...") she stopped and asked, with a hint of knowing impatience, "Liz, did you do this?"
At that very moment, my Oscar performance was cancelled abruptly as I cracked and confessed to everything.
Valentine's Day non-celebrations were finished with her going to bed after us pigging out on BBQ chicken, Doritos, and chocolate.
2. Stapling Invoices:
The girl who normally does reception left 3 archive boxes of stapling sitting stagnant behind the desk for three weeks, knowing that I would eventually arrive (3 weeks later) to do it for her. Two days after I got here, the next two boxes were delivered to me, and I was asked to let her know when they were done. Nice girls, but bludgers, through and through. I felt slightly resentful. But this is precisely why I temp, my friends, so I don't have to PERMANENTLY put up with that kind of shit. Otherwise you would find me arresting myself for double homocide.
3. Books
I just finished that book I bought two weeks ago.
Is being moved really so much to ask these days? Where did my $22 go?
4. General business
In order to increase my IQ by the time I reach age 25 and my IQ plateaus, I bought a copy of The Monthly. It's a magazine about stuff. Anyway the writers are mostly academics if you get my drift. OK so I'm reading it, and I find that it's quite reader-friendly, and I also find that it's half-interesting! Not challenging enough, obviously. ¶ 14:23
