Flicking between my aliases is actually a little daunting! - Albeit a bit fun as well!  Monday saw me put on my suit, buy a briefcase and with my new PDA head into the city for a meeting with this graphic design company.  Steve thought the PDA was a good touch because I can manage my email (supposedly), and manage my diary.  Week one and I finally learnt how to lock the keypad!  I'm using a good old fashioned desk diary, I just keep double booking myself.  Steve nags me about using the diary, but I just can't get my head around it.  I'm not even sure I'd know what to do if I needed to make a call!  Anyway, I turned up at this meeting - early, but couldn't find the door.  It was a warm day, I was in a suit and I could feel myself getting stressed out.  I kept ducking into the stores asking what number they were.  It seemed the number I needed didn't exist.  Eventually I called Steve (with my trusty old phone that I've dropped a hundred times so its a bit tempremental) and told him in a panicked voice to have a look on his phone for the location (he's got a GPS system) - I may have - god knows.  Anyway, he looked it up and told me I was on the wrong street!  I took my heels off and ran like a fool through the streets of Wellington - thank god for those gym sessions!  I arrived at the offices sweaty and disshevelled.  A professional woman greeted me and then got straight into this formal presentation.  I felt disorganised.  I had decided to give a verbal brief, so it could be openly discussed.  Her ideas and reiteration of my concept were fantastic.  I had no doubts about her company's capacity to do this for me.  She also showed me some of their other work and its just so awesome.  They were the ones behind the Edmund Hilary stamps here and do some work for the Wellington City Council to promote the city.  After that, I met with a really nice nanny in the city over coffee and saw these guys in suits, one with a bag advertising employment law.  I asked them if they were lawyers and got talking to this really nice guy about Steve's employment situation in the UK.  He gave me his card and told me to get Steve to call him.  Turns out he's a partner in one of Wellington's more prestigious law firms - so he's not cheap!  But he was kind enough to give Steve half an hour over the phone, and offered to look through his paperwork and come up with a game plan that wouldn't cost us the size of a small island.  We feel confident that whilst we don't want Steve to work for this company again, we can seek some compensation from the theiving bastards.  Thank god he's got a lawyer to do this, I don't fancy swatting up on employment law, in fact, I don't fancy anything of that nature for quite some time!  When I got home, Egg puked up all over my suit.  I didn't care though, I wanted Egg cuddles, and so there I was, Mummy again, talking to stuffed toys and making marmite sandwiches.  Yesterday I headed into the university, desperate to get this book that I've been waiting for since Jesus was born, and I thought if I went in there, I might be able to borrow a short term loan for an hour to do some photocopies.  So, Tuesday I was student, with my daggy clothes, folders and The Body Shop lip gloss.  I felt out of place there as well, who'd have thought a library could be so complicated!  I got my next exam result yesterday and it turns out I got an 'A' this time for the sociology paper.  It means I must have done well in the exam, I did wonder when I saw it if there'd been a processing error.  In fact, I still wouldn't be surprised if I did discover that was the case!  I'm working really hard on my two other papers right now, Critical Thinking and Social Pollicy and its really doing my head in.  The live in has gone on holiday and her temporary replacement is this American girl who is just incredible.  Although she's American, she defies all the stereotypes, she's intelligent, witty and well travelled.  She doesn't drink coffee and is cynical about the media!  She is just awesome and without her to cover my back, I couldn't have achieved everything I needed to these last few days.  The house is clean, the laundry is done, the kids love her, and they're always clean!!  There's not many people I trust with Egg, but I trust her implicitly.  I've received LOADS of applications from people looking for nanny work and they're of such a high calibre and really support my business idea.  Its lovely how people can be so encouraging.  Although I'm still blanketed in self doubt and still have a panic mode that says, 'what the hell am I doing?"  Anyway, back to the books...
