Having to play.rough with immature women

My few days off work, did me the world of good. I bought some books to read, got back to practicing yoga for the first time in over a year and went out for walks.

As soon as work deposited my pay, I decided, I needed a new wardrobe and a new hair style.

The reaction at work was interesting, some noticed the weight loss, but it was the hair that got people talking.

There were a couple of shift managers who reacted to the new “me”. Jermaine who everyone calls Franco which it actually his surname, didn't say anything at all, he just looked me up and down to say “hmmm impressive”. That's Franco for you.

Some womdered if I got myself a new boyfriend as well as a new look. Very funny, but when Moses does come back from Peru, he'll be coming back to a new girlfriend. That's if he recognises me.

Right before anyone asks the answer is no. if I have changed my look. I've done it for me and me only. Not for Moses, not for the people at work, for me. Of course I wasn't expecting to lose so much weight in such short time. It usually takes me longer to shift 7lbs. Nevermind 14.

while I was out on a date with myself and in my favourite shop in Madrid, I decided why not see if the “Santeria” shop has anything I can use to ward off nasties at work. Now Santreria shop, has an energy which is more intense than the other magical shops I've visited. The one I went into was opposite the Cuban bar “La Negra Tomasa” which is a good place to visit at the weekend.

The guy in the shop reccomended I do a couple of things to protect me from “Evil Eye”.I've started wearing my pentagram again, and I find that Yoga relaxes me.

OK where do I start, When I felt really Ill 2 weeks ago, I did a test to see if someone had given me the “Evil Eye” Evil eye comes in many shapes and forms but they all make you feel like shit and give you a headache which feels like someone dropped an anvil on your head. I've seen my dad do this test so many times but ;learning how to get rid of it was easier said than done. So no doubt that when I removed mine, it took ages to go away.

This one I got at work surprise surprise, what I wasn't expecting where it came from. Two women, the pain in the butt shift manager, who'd rather tell men that she's gay so they don't ask her out and someone who I thought was my friend as well as Moses'.Nelly.

They're not evil women. It's just that one doesn't know when to shut up snd the other doesn't know when to mind her own business. Or is it both of them? Jessica who likes to stir things up and says she's only looking out for me went as far to tell everyone that I've got it in for Flora and Nelly.

OK what happened with Flora was not my fault, I didn't know she fancied my boyfriend and considering that she did take the news about his “past” badly we're good friends.

And as for Nelly, perhaps I have got daggers for her, but not because I'm jealous or because she flirts with my boyfriend but because she thinks I'm some kind of idiot.



She has absolutely no shame in how she talks to people curses enough to make trooper blush, that's not the problem, it's not even her sexual innuendos when she calls up my boyfriend, often when He's with me. And as for this chicken party that everyone was talking about. The one where I didn't go to but my boyfriend did? I have a feeling that she didn't tell me on purpose.

What really annoyed the hell out of me the last time I saw Nelly was that she showed her true colours. I was on my break (I should have taken Giovi's advice by taking my lunch away and leaving work early rather than sitting in the staff room buy hey.) Jessica started poking her nose in my affairs regarding whether Moses had called me or not and said all kinds of stuff that really made me feel ill. Nelly also joined in by agreeing that she was doing it to “open my eyes”

Open my eyes to what? I turn 30 next month not 13. I don't need advice on men and what jerks they can be because I have had my fair share of those in the last 20 years. The fact that she's been through a rough time with men does not give her the right to poke her nose in my business.

She thinks it's funny whenever she asks me something very personal about my relationship and I saY “That's my business!” Juan has stopped asking me stuff probably for fear that the next time he asks he might end up not being able to father children.

Like I said if I answer that “it's my business!” it's because it is.


I thought she was on our side? I guess I thought wrong. Ah well, for someone who at 43 and with grown up kids and a killer body, she sure acts immature. Then she said it I was just having a fling then I wouldn't get upset.

She already knows that we're not fooling around. So why talk like that?

I already had this nonsense once when I went to have my lunch last summer where there were 4 of them trying to get me to talk but I wouldn't even when they insisted that Moses told everyone we were going out. That was a load of crap, because Eric was the one who told me that it wasn't Moses who talked.

We knew that when Nelly found out she'd have a field day. Her reaction surprised me. I was expecting her to also take the mick out of me for my relationship but she took Moses to one side and started winding him up. Apparently she was annoyed. Why?

With him being away, they think it's a good opportunity to remind me about his past in Peru. Thanks but I already know.

If she wants to continue she can take me for a mug then she is more than welcome, but she and the other miserable biddies are going to see a different woman, one who will definitely put them in their place.

speaking of work, I need to ask for a smaller size uniform.
