Extreme knackered-ness

Dear Diary,

Since I have but an hour and a half to get ready before my NEXT shift - I only have a little time for an update. Truth be told, there's not really much to update on, really. Thursday's shift was OK, last night's was even better. I'm in again tonight, and I'm at the pub on Sunday. Work, work, work!

Last night's (Friday's) shift was awesome - for the simple reason that Shaun got sent to work at the L***********!! How COOL is that??! Told Carmichael and Lee that "Shaun from the agency" was in fact my baby brother, and had an absolute BALL when he turned up. I wish he'd been sent in more often - it was so much fun pissing about and having dance-off's every five minutes. And it was funny as hell at the end of the night - when all the drunk female guests were trying it on with him non-stop, much to his delight! Grrr, why wasn't I given the attractive gene in the family?! Hmmmm....

Good news from last night - Saw Lee a lot more, and seemed a lot more friendly and approachable than Thursday, somehow. And have established that he is as much of a geek as I am - due to three things:

1) His reaction to meeting Shaun whilst organising taxis was classic; "So she's your sister? Oh my god, this is so exciting, we've got the whole O'Donnell family in!!" before launching into a conversation with Shaun about whether he'd bought my Christmas present yet (Shaun's answer: No. Charming)
2) Upon hearing that Gordon Burns was a guest, I hung around in the corridor for a while, trying to catch a glimpse. At which point, Lee walked past, turned to look at me, dropped all professionalism and excitedly cried; "GORDON BURNS IS HERE!!!" Bless him.
3) At the end of the night when he asked us to label wine bottles for tomorrow in advance. As we got them done, he looked at us all, his lovely face shining with enthusiasm and declared; "Oh my god, this is so exciting, we've got them all done! We're all organised for tomorrow! Good job, Team!" At which point, my brain was going; "I actually love you."

In a nutshell, he seems to be as easily pleased and exciteable as me. We would probably have the best sex EVER - should it come to that........ (*prays to every God in existence*)

Stayed over at Auntie's flat last night, but didn't get to sleep till about half 5 in the morning - good times. So now completely shattered. Grrrr.....

Tonight is the last party for this year - and I'm in Party Room 2, which he presides over. So naturally am stepping it up a gear by straightening hair, wearing contact lenses, lovely make-up, and generally being as fun and happy (and potentially flirty) as possible. Met Alice and Lisa for breakfast this morning, they have given me some flirting tips - since I'm the only human being in EXISTENCE who can't do it naturally - which I intend to try out later........ On the downside, I had the biggest breakfast in human history, and not cannot move, not even after lying in the recovery position for an hour.

In the meantime, I'm off for a shower. Am knackered right out and have a raging cold, but dammit, I'm going to look fantastic if it kills me!!
