10 Things

Reasons I'm Crushing On YOU!

1. Your gorgeous smile
2. The amazing color of your eyes
3. The fact that you are always happy
4. You know how to laugh
5. More importantly- you know how to laugh at yourself
6. Your body (and how all of your clothes seem to fit to perfection)
7. That you told me I was the coolest person here
8. You don't judge others... unless its necessary
9. Your loud and somewhat obnoxious laugh
10. Because I know I can't have you

So there is this guy at work- You know how every now and then you see someone who is hot and you pray to god that they have a shit personality or some sort of STD because it seems a crime for any one person to be that heart stoppingly gorgeous- Yeah he is one of them... only to add insult to injury he has the most amazing personality I have ever encountered. Admittedly I am very shallow and superficial when it comes to who I like but this guy- I know to some degree of absolute certainty I would still have some kind of crush on him even if he was ugly. 

Its almost like being around him is an addiction.

Of course he is straight! He also has a girlfriend who might I add, is not all that attractive. I can't decide if the ugly girl loses him points for having poor taste or triples the ones he has because he is obviously in it for her personality which means he isn't shallow?

His last day at work is next Wednesday and I think I will find work just that little bit more unbearable once he is gone... 

Go Fuck Yourself!

Sorry guys! I have been meaning to post again but I am away for a long weekend and haven't really had a chance too because I have been catching up with my family which has been nice- I have made the decision to make more of an effort this year at keeping in touch with old acquaintances, friends and family.

So you are probably wondering about the title of this post... Well it starts off like this:

Before X-Mas last year I found this AMAZING sounding job that I thought I was perfect for. I spent three weeks working closely with my old boss (who has not only had a hand in recruitment but also has a husband who works for a recruitment agency) constructing the perfect CV coupled with the perfect cover letter. Never before had I put so much effort into one document; not even if it meant passing or failing a paper at Uni. so I think you can kind see how serious I was about this job.

Finally half way through my first week back and I get the go ahead from JB to send in my masterpiece. I get it in two days before the applications officially close so I have a minimum four day wait (weekend in between) to see if I even get a foot in the door. 1 week and 1 day later and I get a letter in the mail- something along the lines of:

"Dear DawnRave,

Thank you for your application for the position of Marketing and Communications Position. Unfortunately we will not be requiring you to come in for an interview. We chose to send you this via letter as we are not up with technology enough to send you an email and we are too chicken shit to phone you and tell you ourselves. 

Enclosed you will find some pamphlets on our organisation for your perusal so that you can see all that you are missing out on because we honestly dont think you are good enough to work for us (hence the reason you did not get an interview).

Best wishes for all of your future endeavors,

The cunts form the place youre to crap to work for"

Basically the "Go Fuck Yourself" was aimed at this shitty place... not because they didnt hire me, or even interview me of that matter. The "Go Fuck Yourself" is because they had the audacity to stuff the envelope full of propaganda for their place- leaflets about whats on and what they do etc etc. To me I find that the height of corporate rudeness. Its like saying "We dont want you but come and visit us anyway" or better still "Youre not wanted here but youre so pathetic that you will still probably want to come and visit in the hopes of running into someone from recruitment and try begging them for a chance"

Basically I hate this place now for that simple fact... I know that is probably now how they intended this to be perceived but like it or not that how it was. So my next move from here is to hold my head high and keep applying for as many jobs as I can find. This may even mean moving, which I think is kinda sad because I really love where Im living and this shitty city is kind of growing on me now... but what I also plan to do is anonymously fuck said companies whole social media campaign since its not done properly and is in violation of the terms of the platform they are using. If the platform doesn't close it down as they should when i notify them then I will send said company an email pointing out their fuck up and the fact that the person they are paying to do this job (i.e. the she bitch that wouldnt give me an interview) is basically being paid for nothing and needs to be fired or demoted and also point out that by not hiring me they made possibly the biggest mistake of their lives... and they when they beg me to come and work for them I will simply send them a letter similar to the one they sent me and stuff it with a flyer that maps out my plans for the next few months and see how they like it....

Rant over and I needa go- MamaRave needs needs to use the computer.

Love

Work Emails

So funny story for you guys... This is a tale that to all should learn from!!! So when I got
my job as a manager I got a new work email address which I was excited about (I know... Geeky right?) so what's the first thong I do??? I txt my friends who work to he their work emails... So I start emailing my friend Shaneinei casually as for a few months and I get a few joke emails here and there which keepse entertained when I feel like doing fuck all. Anyway since then I have been moved to manage a different team and get a new email address. As part of this transition I had to train my replacement. I have to show her to how access her emails and ofcourse iv forgotten to tell all my friends my new address. I go to the in-box and there's a message from Shaneinei entitled "your first christmas card" - I jokingly explained to my replacemt that this was all I did all day and ... So I open this email expecting some kind of sweet email wishing me merry Xmas (albeit early) and I get a picture of some ripped hottie in undies and a Santa hat... Awkward!!!


Thankgod she is the kind of person who can take a joke

in other news- went to a local club last night that had a singing comp to support my friend Alana and THE cutest guy in the world won. he was so adorable like an amazing voice and he was hot plus he was a really sweet guy. I kind of melted every time he went on stage. He cried when he won (I love the sensitive types). I think I'm in love :S

hope you're all well xoxox

Life lessons

So i learned a valuable lesson at work today. One which I didnt expect to learn- but I guess thats what you get from not letting things bother you.

The situation at work today has escalated to a whole new level and I am faced with an excruciating swallow of pride tomorrow. So the full story:

We have this new lady Dee at work who is doing extremely well. She is a new addition to a team of about 13 people. Now the 12 who have been there for a while now have take exception to that fact that she is doing well and have turned the smallest personality trait of Dee into a vehicle of ridicule and just downright childish bullying and cattiness. They have taken to making up a code name for this thing that Dee does and have started making comments about this when she does it so the "doesnt know theyre doing it" ... They're very obvious about what theyre doing however and people had started to comment about it- Being the manager I decided to step in and pull the main offenders out and have a meeting with them- lets nickname these people Moyra, Rash, Slam, Jackie, Alana, and Stripper. I pulled them out for this meeting and was quite firm with them. Lets be honest I was downright horrible to them. Stripper didnt like that she was getting in trouble even though she was the nastiest of them all and took to yelling at me during the meeting. Anyway come Monday  (thankfully Stripper doesnt work until Thursday) the rest were still licking their wounds- I had a meeting with Dee to discuss how this thing she does has made some people feel and nicely asked that she stop. This was extremely hard for me because Dee is an amazing employee and has every right to do what she does. Dee's a smart lady and picked exactly what this was about and where it had come from and was distraught and asked to go home for the day and also hinted that she wasnt sure she would like to come back which to be honest is extemely fair.

Anyway i told my boss what had happened and she pulled the whole team in for a meeting about what they had done and how they have basically bullied a woman so much into thinking so little of herself and of the place that she works that she is considering not coming back. The meeting then turned into a bitch about me and how I handled the meeting on Friday. I normally wouldn't have been this harsh on anyone but they needed to get the message!   So at the end of the meeting my boss says that my team would like an apology from me for being harsh on them on Friday... well that was it- I was so furious that they have the audacity to ask me for an apology that i had to go home.

I am struggling to justify in my head giving these people an apology for "being mean" when essentially what I made them feel in that meeting is nowhere near as bad as they made this one lady feel.

I still havent quite come to terms with what I am going to do tomorrow but for the sake of getting them all to shut the fuck up and stop being such petty little bitches I am going to have to swallow my fucking pride the way I would swallow a HUGE cock and apologise.

It has to be said though... Stripper needs a swift foot to the cunt because shes really cunty and will make comments about me just loud enough so I know shes talking about me but she will get sorted tomorrow because my boss is getting sick of her shit stirring also and is going to have a meeting with her. THANK GOD for good bosses though! She lives across the road from me and left early today so she could come and have a wine with me and talk me through my stress and plan my attack on tomorrow. I dont think I could do this without her support!

Anyway the lesson I learned? I hear you ask... At the end of the day- Cunts always seem to get what they want no matter how wrong they are... The point? I hear you query... Go through life being an absolute cunt! If it gets you what you want then why the fuck not?

THE NEXT DAY_

Okay so I did it and it was like getting my ass spanked by someones grandad (it made me want to vomit). Dee came back which is good but I still am quite angry about the whole situation. FUCK THE LOT OF THEM! :D

Gay at work...

Okay so In my job I am a manager which means I am responsible for staff- currently I manage three teams of approximately 14 people (42 people in total for those of you playing at home). As far as my sexuality in this matter goes- Everyone knows that I am gay- I refuse to hide it if I am asked but I choose to not openly talk about it to my staff. This is because A)Its none of their business and B) I would preferr it if I was in their position that my manager didnt talk about thier love life gay or straight. They are there to manage and that is all- and this is how I like to conduct myself.

But what happens when you find one day that some of your younger and more immature staff have been making comments about your sexuality behind your back?

This is the position I find myself in. From what I have heard plenty of my staff are quite happy with who I am and how I manage but it has grabbed me more that I thought it would to have these comments made about my private life. I understand that this is something which shouldnt interfeer with our professional relationship and I am going to try my hardest to look at these people only as employees and not the individuals who make such nasty comments about me. How would you deal with this?

I am the kind of person manager who prides himself being professional, effective and fair in my management style- How do I not let this get in the way of how I do my job?

I think Im right in keeping my personal life my own unless I am asked- but maybe this isnt the best way to do business? Maybe its easier (not nessecarily better) to simply lie through ommission? I have told a few of my close colleague whom I know outside of work but perhaps I should have lied or answered the question in a round-about way?

Your thoughts...

Porn at Work?! NEVER... okay maybe some times

Hey gorgeous people!

So i have a funny story for you! I have just moved in to a new place with my friend and we dont have internet hooked up yet so I have been sneakily using facebook, buying shit and emailing at work.... and when no one else was around.... when the place was empty and I was there alone the occasional video on Xtube. This place is sooo fucking backwards with technology that I didn't think anyone would notice! In the whole center of over 60 people I am the one who seems to know the most about computers and by todays standards thats fuck all....


Anyway I get this email the other day- "We need to stop using our computers for personal use as there has been a lot of inappropriate activity lately" this was sent out to all management... Its like they know but they seem to be too embarrassed to say anything HAHAHA. I actually couldn't really care less if they bring it up so as long as they're too scared I figure Ill keep doing it until I get net sorted at home!!

Anyway I decided that I don't really like that guy that came around the other day but I have been dying for a fuck lately which isn't really like me. Mind you its usually because Im getting action- I now know how people who don't have sex feel and trust me... life isn't good for those people. The amount of inappropriate erections Iv had! Lucky Im not the kind of person to break out into a sweat and run out of a room trying to hide my tent!! Jesus how do these people do it??

Thats another thing I don't get... people in a relationship who stop having sex. When i was with my ex we had it over 9 times a week for sure. I don't get how people are like "the love just inst there" - guys Its just sex- you don't have to love someone to put your dick in them! .... Well i don't anyway- does this make me a bad person? I don think so- some times the best sex is the sex where you dont care about the other person! Thats where it can just be what it as and both people can just get exactly what they want and be done with it when its over.

I always wonder though am I speaking for myself? Or is this like a common thing?

god I love sex!

Also on a non sex note- I want to get one of those county things so I can see how many- (if any) times this thing gets read by people. As much as I love talking to myself it seems kind of silly to waste time writing it down. Does anyone know how to get one of those things??

Hope you guys are swell- shit weather on the way to where I am... woohoo

Lying Cheating Whores

Hi guys.... I'm guessing it probably seems pretty random that it was like 8 months ago that I did my last post... (and it was only my second). I kind of gave up! To be honest I didn't even realise I had any comments on the first two posts. So thanks guys for that!!!

Not much has changed with me... Im still working in the same place. I managed to graduate though so yayness to me! Still living in the same old shitter or a city!

So I will try and catch you up to my life in the most brief way:

1- I was "cheated on" by my ex's best friend
2- I found out my ex had been cheating on me
3- I got felt up by 2 straight guys about 6 months back
4- One of them told me he had 2 months to live
5- ... hes still alive
6- I started shagging my ex's best friend again
7- I stopped shagging my ex's best friend
8- Dad had a heart attack
9- mum had an operation
10- I did a bungy jump
11- My friend visited me for a month (from Ireland)
12- We drank loads
13- I slept with a homeless guy
14- I went snorkeling with sharks
15- A bit of rock wall climbing
16- We went white water rafting
17- we sobered up
18- We got drunk again
19- I got in a bar fight with an army dude
20- ... I won
21- I got thrown out of the club
22- Watched my first rugby game
23- HAD to get drunk
24- Irish friend went home
25- I had to sober up alone
26- I started writing this blog entry.

I think thats all the most interesting stuff.... OH and I found out that this guy I wanna shag that works in my building (who I thought was for sure gay) is married with a kid.

So anyway... The whole thing with my ex and his best friend... its kind of twisted. I found out that him and my ex had slept together while we were going out (plus he slept with a whole bunch of other people). But for some reason I kept shagging him. It did kind of end up working in my favor though because no he really likes me and I don't want any thing to do with him. Its brilliant- he keeps ringing me and leaving messages and facebooking me- Normally I'm not this sadistic- but he lied to me about sleeping with my ex and then again about being with someone when we started fucking. REVENGE IS SWEET!

As far as him and this whole place I'm living in goes... Iv had enough! So I have now decided to set myself a goal- I am sure you are all dying to hear it!

So I'm moving in to a new place with one of my closest friends and she is going to help me get fit etc etc- less smoking (probably still the same amount of drinking though... maybe a bit more) and THEN I'm going to head to New York.

I don't know what the pull is- maybe its Sex and the City that did it??? Who knows but I want to start saving like mad and hopefully I will make it by this time 2011... or 12 :P

If anyone has done this sort of thing before it would be great to hear from you and hear how it all works- I haven't been to far out of my own country- let alone on my own- let alone to live. So I'm thinking whats the best airline? whats the best area to live? How much money do you think I will need? How do I go about getting a work visa? Can you guarantee that I will be frisked upon entry?

Anyway would be great to hear from anyone and hopefully get some more followers... I plan on making this a more regular thing I promise.

Anyway... its 10 o'clock on a Friday... what am I still doing sober??

Have a great weekend lovelies!

xoxo
