And it's one more night in Hollywood...

webbgirlSo I think I finally found a work BFF. Well two really. I've been at my current place of employment for about 2 1/2 years. I'm mostly friendly with the folks I work with, but folks in this line of work tend to be more on the conservative side of the spectrum. I'm the chick with the tattoos for a lot of them.
Anyway, I started working on a company-wide consolidation project a few months back. (This is the project that is eating my life and sucking my time and will to live by the time I get home at night because of the intensity and the hours.) The business had requested me specifically for this project which is flattering. Especially given that the two women who requested me have a bit of a reputation with others in the company as being extremely demanding. (Read: They're called bitches because they actually expect to get what they request from our IT department.)
The Director who is directly involved in my project and I have completely hit it off and she's totally someone I would hang out with if I'd met her outside of work. I've missed that since I've been here. As an added bonus, she has the most fabulous assistant in the history of assistants. He's the nicest guy you ever want to meet and he likes to ponder things like "Who's hotter? John Barrowman or Gareth David-Lloyd." Apparently it's a discussion he and his partner get into quite often. (For the record Jeff (the assistant) is more of a Gareth fan. :D) We actually squeed a bit when we discovered today that we were both fans of Torchwood. He hasn't seen the second season yet, so I get the happy task of providing it for him. OH! And he also just bought Sims 2 so I'm talking him through all the cheats and download websites. Yay fun.
In other 'Yay' news, I ordered myself a new cell phone today. Mine had become posessed with the spirit of Robbie Williams. Seriously! It would start playing my Robbie Williams ringtones (and only the Robbie Williams ones) even whent the phone was on vibrate and there was no call coming in. The only way to get it to stop was to shut the phone down each time. I even had an incident where I tried to call into a work meeting and all I could hear as the call was trying to connect was "Let Me Entertain You". Weird.
So, I will very shortly be the new posessor of a lovely pink phone that has all sorts of bells and whistles. It even has a feature that will act as a pedometer to tell you how far you've walked and how many steps you've taken. It will also work when I'm in the UK and power up through my laptop so that I don't need a voltage converter (a concern with my current phone).
Which brings me to my final 'Yay' of the post:
ONE WEEK UNTIL I LEAVE FOR LONDON!!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
