Live Blogging Friday

I'm still cataloguing at work which means I am in a little room by myself, instead of a large open plan office with many other people including my boss. YUSSS.
  • 9.07am; I have caught up with my blog reading (Master Of Arts is fantastic as per usual - finally read Bea's Fyodor page and just about wet myself laughing). I have also talked to hungover workmate Rachel about burlesque choreography and felt sorry for myself for my extreme and self inflicted exhaustion. About to begin work.
  • 9.17am; cataloguing game show The Rich List. Can you believe that a team of two people couldn't name six films on which Peter Jackson was credited as director? They didn't name any Lord of the Rings films. I'm like "OMG, haven't you been in NZ and completely thrashed by the hype over the last 10 years? Jeebers. Honestly." You may be surprised to know that the people inside the television were rather reticent on this matter.
  • 9.43am; watching the School of Success and wondering how intellectually open I am. Apparently training oneself to be intellectually open is tantamount to creating one's own luck. Hm.
  • 9.55am; mysterious missing uncatalogued film item. Not my fault, excellent.
  • 10:15am; film found, put away in wrong place.
  • 10.26am; 3D portraits are SO tacky. Middle New Zealand waves the Flag of Bad Taste once again.
  • 11:21am; I've completed a whole bunch of random non-work related but pressing things (accountant's bill, addendum to tenancy agreement, email Bex about the weekend). The School of Success programme has given a zest for time management and general achievieness. Also I have chatted with Boy via internet. Somewhat more procrastinatory.
  • 11.37am; what have I done with my swipe card?
  • 11.40am; I was wearing it all along. I just spent three minutes looking for it and it was around my neck the whole time. Thank GOD I didn't ask anyone if they'd seen it. WHAT a dork. Too much coffee I think. Feeling stupid jittery.
  • 11:51am; I totally need to shave my armpits.
  • 12.40pm; am done with the School of Success. Lunchtime.... have spent the last few minutes trying to work out all my budgeting/debt etc on Sorted. This is somewhat depressing. However, I'm maintaining that the more information I have, the more power I have over my financial situation. I am TERRIBLE with money. Erp.
  • 1.30pm; inadvertently spent too long at lunch. MUST WORK HARD NOW. [Ooh, Wikipedia article just came through, and its about music in Atlanta, Georgia! I never knew I wanted to know about that...]
  • 2.33pm; I want a Worm Farm.
  • 3.09pm; Kees Meeuws comes across very well in this documentary, funny. And kind of cute in a puppy way (rather than in a Lusty sort of way).
  • 3.20pm; obviously I'm very tired, I'm being "moved" by Ans Westra photographs. Beautiful as they are, I've never felt the urge to cry over them before.
  • 3.26pm; whoah, just saw Ruud Kleinpaste half naked and painted up to look like a kea. That may now be tattooed on my brain.
  • 4.01pm; so VERY done with cataloguing for the week. Just had an Idiot Situation where I was being a clown and pulling faces and waving my ass around through a glass door at a workmate, only to find out that there was a video camera in the corner of the little foyer I was standing in, and if anyone should look up in the main part of the office they would have seen my little performance. "When being a showpony horribly backfires". Now, time for beer.
