Lil fighter

A girl I know was having a rough time at work. She's pretty tough. Darn tough I think. Tiny and tough. And cute. So it's disarming to hear her verbalise this toughness. She was moaning about work as a lawyer, which she does quite a lot. I was trying to tell her that despite the awful people she works with, the impossible deadlines, the ridiculous hours she does and poor pay as an apprentice that it's not that bad. It's not like working in a mine, or in a career where lives are at risk.
"What about that time the Partner threw a file at me?" she offered.
"Well annoying, but hardly life threatening." I conjectured.
"I might have killed him." She recalled.
And you know ... I think he was lucky. He got her on a good day.

upgrades

I kissed a girl a while ago at this party. It was mid week so despite pleadings she had the good sense to demure and give me the brush off and not come home with me. Smart girl. However I bumped into her again. Thought that despite other distractions I'd focus on her and see what came of it. I presumed that I might be on for an upgrade. Didn't happen. Turns out it's an actual policy of hers and wasn't circumstantial.

back in black

I was thinking that with it being the new year and all that I needed to do something to lose weight. I've decided instead to wear more black. I'm led to beleive that it's slimming. It'll save me a fortune on gym fees and personal trainers.
