After aaages of "Where's my postcard?!?" - I have my postcard. There's a picture of Stonehenge on it. And it arrived day after emails to all the guys from work who I miss. Both of the Whatsisnames.

Benjiguy has experienced the joy of things eBay can get him... once he knows someone willing to use the power for him. Apparently these tabs are great because they are complete scores. I checked, and he does have a bands-worth of friends. None of them can sing. None of them are keen enough to rock on with him. I have explained that alcohol will fix that because one - someone will think they can sing with the right amount. And two - alcohol plus a challenge to manhood will make guys do very nearly anything.

Apparently the Hard Rock Cafe in Brisbane has a fraudulent guitar!! Benjiguy (who seems like the type to know) SWEARS those aren't Pantera's signatures. Or at least this one guy's is wrong. Possibly he was dead, I'm not a memory chick nowadays. I had backing from co-workers that he needs the internet, because the internet was made for people to go on and on and ON about that kind of crap.

Chick in Shanghai got my work eXmas card. I said I'm never sure with "strange" overseas addresses. They always look wrong. I am thinking that in Shanghai laughter is spelled as "HeiHei".

My doctor has confirmed that experience and the internet are correct in diagnosing Temporomandibular joint dysfunction. My treatment guess is also right. What drove me mental is the point at which I had no clue where my jaw's normal position was. I just couldn't find a spot that felt normal for hours. Sadly - I used the internet for guidance, which possibly means I am beyond help. GP gave me a helpful little printout, so it must be common.

Such a work headache today. Trying to make expense claims add up to reality. Then I worked out some things happened in NZD. So then I worked out the exchange rate around mid-November last year. Then I worked through receipts. Easiest to hardest... Some had the currency noted as AUD or NZD. Some had the business address on them. Some business names I could locate in a NZ or AU phone directory (couldn't be both). Turns out that NZ has things like ABNs - but they look different (I noted to Benjiguy this is rare example of ABN knowledge being useful). Getting desperate - NZ's GST equivalent is more than 10%, so you can work back from that. Anything left - start ranting about how I should start claiming expenses by picking up totally anonymous receipts from the gutters.

Also today, NLP Guy came (brought the postcard). NLP coincidentally has a New Zealand accent.
(chit chat about how the holidays have been)
NLP: I went to a heppy festival.
Me: Is that a Happy Festival, or a Hippy Festival?
NLP: A heppy festival.
Me: ...
NLP: Heppy like heppies
Me: Like ConFest?
NLP: Yes! It was ConFest!!
Me: I've heard about them, and I don't want to know whether you were wearing clothes or not.
