Do you organise events as your job?

I organise conferences & events, I just got the go ahead today to attend Meedex at the Louvre in Paris early April so I'm going there.

Yay for company jollies! :D

I'm not involved in events but our PR dept handles all that for our clients. As a director of the group I get to just roll up to drink and schmooze for free. ;) Didn't drink much last night though as this was our first event for this particular client and I had to be there on a semi-working basis. However, my wife does organise events for RBC throughout the British Isles.

Like crap. I needed to get an appointment today, but because of an error in the website, or worse, an error from someone who didn't do his job as he was supposed to, I couldn't get it. So now my only chance left to enter university is to wait until Monday, and HOPE the website allows me to enter my data and get an appointment. Otherwise, I'm screwed.
 
Bad, really bad.

Somehow I'm in a very bad mood and I don't know why. Maybe I'll have to eat 1kg of chocolat.

I'm going out with friends tonight. I'm not the best company at the moment. I hope I'm able to hide my bad mood or I hope I'm going to be in a better mood. I still have 2 and a half hour to get better.

You'll feel like a different person by the time you go out mate, that stuff doesn't last if you don't let it.

Try not to think too hard and before you know it you won't even remember why you were ever in a bad mood!

If there was a "like" button, I reward you with a like!


Thanks!
 
My day was awesome!:) Went to my old elementary school and took some walks down memory lane. I enjoyed it very well. I actually went back and played Gran Turismo 4 again today for the first time in a while, felt like going nostalgic, so i did.:) Did many of the things i used to do 7 years ago and man, talk about change, times sure have changed since i was playing that game so long ago. Sweet memories.:)

Also ever wondered how a Daimler Motor Carriage would do on Grand Canyon?:confused: :lol:
 
It was a great day! I had drum line practice and then a show. We got first place, well there was only one other drum lime we competed against, but we still won and that's what matters. Sadly, however, I think this is the first time I've ever won anything in my whole life that is significant.
 
Oh, lord, fantastic. Today I was parking my car at my job, when I saw a Maserati Gran Turismo S. I literally waited hours and hours and hours for the owner to pop up. When he came out of the building I jumped out of my car and ran as fast as I could to him. By the time I was there, I was panting and speaking fast :lol:. I asked him if I could start it up, and to be honest, that car is one of the sexiest sounding cars I've ever heard. It is rare to find a car like that in Kosovo. IDGAF I didn't even enter the building to go to work. I just waited and it was worth it.
 
Pretty good. The cool cars are starting to come out so saw a bunch of cool stuff while I was out. Then when I got home I watched Skyfall which was awesome.

Yeah company jollies are great. Most of the stuff I get invited to is from venues and hotel chains etc who are trying to impress me so I'll push more business their way.

I've been invited to a few football matches and concerts but one of my work mates is being taken to the big one, the United v Real Madrid match on Tuesday. I've stopped liking him.

We tend to get a lot of free booze but we have to make sure we don't get too relaxed and start giving too much away about out clients and commission agreements with other venues etc.
 
I'll let Queen sum it up for me.

♪A little high, little low...,
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me...♫
 
Ran my first ever half Marathon today in my home city. Despite having missed a weeks training due to injury, and whatnot, I was reasonably confident.

Aimed for ~1:40, but actually ran a chip time of 1:27.49. Super hyped, loved it! Might have to have a go at a proper marathon one day given my time today.

Though my feet are in tatters :lol:
 
Thanks, can't find any pictures today sadly, but soon.

So much fun too, in a perverse driving yourself to the edge kinda way :crazy:
 
Girl I liked bad broke up with me, said I just couldn't fill her exes shoes and that she wants him back. I said she needs to stop looking for her ex in other people and try to move on. She said, sorry she's going to give him a second chance, which makes two girls who left me standing in the rain, so-to-speak for their lying, cheating exes in the past year. How exactly am I the one getting the bum rap here? All I want to do is have someone in my life I can treat right and all girls my age seem to want to do is chase the douche bags who broke their hearts over and over again, this is the story of my life. "You're a wonderful guy and all and I'm sure you'll make some pretty girl really happy, but all I want is my a-hole ex back who lies and cheats on me." I don't get it. Then my GT5 game data corrupted and I had to delete it, but when I reloaded it goes back to 2.01 (obviously) so my game data and save data don't work together, making the game completely unplayable. Here's the thing though, I don't have Internet anymore, so I can't just update. So after a really bad day all I wanted to do was race some anger off and that blew up spectacularly in my face too. I can't remember the last time I was this mad.

XS, I'm assuming you're in your late teens/early twenties?

Hey man, if this is a girl who is dumping a new guy to run back to an old flame, let her go. Girls like that will only end up hurting themselves & throw their relationships in a repetitive circle of happiness & heart break. I know you're going through one of the worst reasons for a break up, but if that's how she comes up for her reasons, she'll learn one day when she wants to run back to you or another guy she left for an ex., that ex (you) will no longer be there.

Thanks, but no, 28. It sucks, she's a damn good woman, but I just have a feeling, and maybe I'm wrong, but I just have a feeling that she's going to have a hard life ahead of her. He might be good for a long time, but I just think he's been too much of a bad person for too long that one day, maybe a year from now, maybe twenty years from now, he'll beat her down again. She doesn't deserve that, no honest person does. But you can only play the knight in shining armor gig for so long, you know? I can't blame her, that's one thing I'll never do is hate someone for their feelings, never. I resent her now for it, but I cannot hate her, or really be that angry, because I've been there. I lost my fiancée last year and I STILL look for her in other people, so I say i don't get it, but I do. I just don't want to admit it, sometimes your emotions can make a hypocrite of you...

Oh, that changes it a bit. The only reason I assumed you were young was because girls of that age tend to do stupid stuff like that & mature out of it, knowing what they want. But, I suppose not every girl does.

I understand you, though. My ex. broke up with me, never stating reasons why, except, "It's not you, it's me", which of course to us men means, yeah, it's us. And in turn, I blamed myself for the way the relationship turned out. Even talking to friends who tell me I did nothing wrong, I still feel resentment towards her. But, like you, I can't hate her, though my reasons are different because I haven't been there.

To this day, we're still so close & every so often, I want to rekindle & try again. But, our break up coupled with other issues last year in turn, made part of my personality more bitter & cold towards people so that I would never walk into the situations I did before. Thus, that part of me keeps me from wanting to date her again because I won't survive the depression again.

Wow, sorry, just went completely off topic there. But, what I wanted to get at is that you're right about our emotions because even though my emotions have made me a person who doesn't let people in anymore or keep me from being her should to cry on, they also make me want to do just that. Thus, as you say, a hypocrite.

That's exactly how I felt when a very special girl broke up with me. Im also careful when I date girls. I dont want to rush into it like I did in the past.

Anyway,

Today was good... in a way; not really. My girl friend and I had our first fight. It was about organization.. Im really pissed off that such a small thing can come between us like that. It wasn't about organization in general, it was about organizing the dishes and laundry. One thing led to another, and I stormed out of the dorm....

My only highlight of the day was watching the new episode of Too Gear.

It was funny because she was the first girl I never rushed into it with.

I feel I should elaborate a tiny bit more, though. As I said, we're still very close & I still have concerns about dating her, but I thank her (indirectly) for what she did because it was a breaking point in my life. After my depression, as said, I changed my attitude towards people so as to never walk into relationships the way I did. I wait for people to show their good intentions, instead of giving everyone the benefit of the doubt. To most, I've probably come as a worse off person, but I'm much happier & confident in myself now that I don't care if I have their approval or not.

I love my ex. to death & give her all my support in her life, but my attitude now is what keeps me from being the one to restart our relationship. She has given me a new outlook so to speak, & in turn, has kept me from giving in so easily to her affection. Enough of my rambling though.

Anyway, back to how everyone's day was.

Indeed, a nice trick our psyche plays on us. Try and try all you might, but getting over someone or a loss (be it breakup or otherwise) is very hard. One option is to cut them out of your life. I have that option, but it comes with a heavy tax, she's my business partner, she can't manage the business without me, and we might (I say that tongue-in-cheek) have a contract very shortly with a great client, ...wow how stupid am I? Long story short, i'm not sure how much she has invested, emotionally, in our business. But for me to leave because I can't handle myself (and I hate this state), may be more hurtful to her, than her working things out with her ex is to me. So yeah, that's always the ultimate option, severing ties.

Edit, sorry just saw your last post. Back to everyone's day for sure.
