My end of year review

Had my end of year review with my new boss who for all the world is a spitting image of Peter Griffin of The Family Guy. it can be very distracting when all you can think of is that.
I got the usual shit about being a senior tech and how valuable my contribution to the company is blah blah blah. The upshot is they can't quite justify any increase at this time. On the other hand they feel I don't seem to be so busy as others are and i really should start taking a more mentoring role to help along some of the younger guys. Even if i offered to come to their work places and offer tips on how they could be as good as me. (As if ).
Then "Peter" jumps in and starts hassling me on when i am going to start some of the project work he's just given me. My only thought at the time was get me out of here and i might be able to get a few things done.
Once i had left "Peter" came up again and asked if i would take on someone else's job because the guy was too busy and the customer is annoying me.
So i asked him straight out
"When am i going to do this important job for you?"
Oh this shouldn't take long for someone as smart as you.
As luck would have it, it was simple and i could finish of some other work only to get a call later in the afternoon from the other manager.
Could you slip over to such and such a job and give this guy a help out? Same question
"When am i going to do this important job for you?" same answer sorta
Oh take someone with you and show him what to do. A senior tech like you Gaz should be doing that sort of thing.
So I can mentor everyone but when i put my hand out for some recognition in the form of a pay increase its crickets.

Chasing Amy

Last week i had an unexpected surprise that still sends wonderful thoughts through my head even a week later.
It started quite normally when Amy accepted my invitation to meet up over lunch. As i was busy with the work i was doing at this particular building i encouraged Amy to meet me there. They had a nice cafe and we could get a table away from the crowd and talk but my management would be happy as i was still close at hand.
As it turned out the only available table was one near the front and tucked away under a staircase. So much for being discrete! Anyway it was 't too busy and we could settle back and chat like two old friends that we are. Amy also mentioned she had another gift to go with the 3 previous but due to the nature of it didn't want to present it publicly.
I'm not sure if you can read the title of the book from the picture but it is called " sex made easy - A Self-Help Sexy Survival Instruction Manual " Not really something that could be handed around in a cafe etc particularly as the cover is bright pink !

As luck would have it at the end of lunch someone called requesting some data to be emailed to him as a matter of urgency. I asked Amy if she felt like coming back to my office and maybe she could offer some advice on the Excel program that i was using. To my delight she accepted so we made our way to the office away from the lunch crowd.
Once inside i collected the data and emailed it as requested. Then turning to her i asked if she felt like passing on the book that couldn't be seen publicly. She obliged and above is a pic of her reading it. She had promised it would get me hard and i would have to say she succeeded.
I then turned to her with a raised eyebrow and a wicked grin.
Garry - "So how about i thank you for this properly?"
Amy - "Oh and how do you think you might do that then?"
G - "I thought a kiss maybe"
This got a smirk
A - "Where did you want to do that?"
G - "How about on the cheek?"
A - "Yep i could cope with that"
So i lent forward and placed a kiss on her soft cheek, then figuring that wasn't really enough i turned her in her swivel chair to face me and when for something better. A long lingering pash with tongues swirling and chasing each other.
G - "Wow i've waited a long time for that"
A - "Yes me too , maybe you should shut that door"
Being the gentleman i leaned over and slowly pushed the door so it closed.
G- "Now where were we ?"
We must have looked like a couple teenagers if anyone had seen us. At one point i did reach up inside her shirt for a bit of a fondle of her breasts but really the angles did us no favors. We went like that until some ignorant bastard decided to end my fun to discuss some minor problem that only i could help with.
The interruption also brought an end to our making out but there is a promise of more to come. I just have to find a room that locks from the inside and do exactly as i am told because she planned on blindfolding me.
Make your own assumptions about whats to come next.

What ever happened to the Age of Aquarius?

Sad but true



Have you ever wondered what happened to all those cute
and crazy, good looking, young hippie chicks who
did drugs, smoked weed, got tattooed everywhere
and did every guy during the Age of Aquarius back
in the 60's?



Well,
wonder no more!

Back and a surprise

Sorry first of all for my extended absence from blogging or checking up on everyone else's blogs as i had a little problem. You see ever since i got this current laptop it has failed pretty much on a daily basis. I speak to the IT geek in the office about it regularly and his answer is always the same "Nothing to do wif me , must be you" Finally on Friday morning two weeks back it crashed and then wouldn't start again. The thing that shits me most is this time i really was working and this time it wasn't anything i had downloaded and installed against company policy. Again his answer is a shrug of the shoulders
"Nothing to do wif me. Leave it over there and i will order new hard drive"
So i ask casually when can i get it back?
"Earliest maybe next week"
And so true to his word he held onto it for 2 weeks.
But now i'm back baby and so far fingers crossed the hard disk is holding up.

So now on to the surprise.
I have a "friend" who i have know for many years.
She went off on a holiday roughly the same time i did and got back after me so it was great to hear that she was around and wanted to catch up. Better yet she had presents.
I was quite taken aback but busting to see her again.
A quick text the night before confirming where i was working the next day and we agreed to catch up over a latte or as she refers to them a "Garry" because when she orders one she thinks of me. Lol
We sit ourselves down and discuss our holidays and what happened. She had a much better time of it but then she is a single, attractive woman so why not.
out of her bag she produced her first gift for me - A Geisha (not the Japanese kind but a chocolate bar that was delicious)

Then she pulled out a bunch of badges she had seen in a shop.
A Head Girl badge and one straight to the point "Fuck me Senseless" (Not sure if she would wear that one often but it's straight to the point) and this one just for me. I love the idea of it but i don't ever see myself wearing it at work.












Lastly out of this bag came her final gift and what was possibly her sweetest. Its the sort of thing that my kids would insist on buying for their dad cause that's what he does! There is a bitter sweet irony about this as it would appear my "Girl friend" , lets just call her GF for short, thinks of me as more a stranger than a friend. I could be reading too much into this and as i have always said
"There are no strangers in this world, only friends we haven't shagged yet"

I want to publicly thank GF for her gifts as i know she reads this blog and say that they are all wonderful but hope she also understands that only she and i will ever know about them and where they have come from.
Thanks again and kisses to you

Dubai

Our final stop was Dubai.
What can i say?
Hot and dusty with malls filled with everything and anything you could think of.
We went skiing one morning and then to a traditional feast in the evening.
One of the highlights for us was Atlantis . Check it out it was worth every minute and since i managed to convince J to have a go at some of the water slides it was good for everyone.

Meet lollytime

I have been quiet on extra circular front of late but things are starting to pick up.
I joined a local on line dating service the other day and posted a fairly vague description and as closely as i possibly could write what i was looking for.
The beauty of this site is an online chat room, so if you make contact with a lady and she wants to talk more then that is where you can exchange numbers and addresses for future conversations.
On the whole most of the women on here seem to be looking for life partners and the minority that are just looking for a fling tend to be very fussy.
Not so lollytime who initially made contact with me before i contacted her.
Lollytime is from Mildura which is in the same state as me but a long way away. In our chats i found out that she comes to town and stays with her cousin but hasn't done it for awhile due to funds.
This i thought was a warning sign but no she didn't hit me up for money well not this time anyway.
I will keep this girl's details and try and stay in touch to see if she is coming down this way anytime soon.
This could be a lot of fun or a total disaster.
Only time will tell

Roma

Rome was a city full of life and culture but also populated with a bunch of assholes. It seems amazing to me that so much culture and beautiful architecture is left to the most arrogant, rude , pigheaded people ever. I don't know whether it is a language thing or not but we didn't get along with the Rome locals.
The buildings and ruins etc were fantastic and well worth the trip.
In Aus we don't have anything that has that age. While the Aborigines were banging each other over the head with large lumps of wood the Romans were out knocking off stuff from the Egyptians and building monuments for themselves.
