And another thing....


Why am I completely incapable of shutting up?

The HR Manager of the University came to my boss's office for a meeting today and asked how I was doing. In a stellar display of verbal diarrhoea, I spewed forth the ins and outs of my holiday in Scotland; my stilted social life; where my friends are living and working both in Australia and overseas; and what I was looking forward to most about my upcoming trip to Italy.

Did she care? Probably not. Hell, I wasn't even interested and I was telling the story! But at least she had the good social graces to keep her eyes from glazing over. Nor did she slide off the chair and into a coma. But what's the bet she never arrives early for a meeting again?!
