The company hired a firm to handle our benefits package. Before this place I didn’t know such a service exists. But it make sense ‘no? Don’t bother meeting so many providers for your different benefits on offer. Find all of them in one place and have a rep field all the questions and concerns of your employees.

Anyway, the “rep” (account manager) was here today to explain how it all works & what he can do for us. So yada, yada, yada… But I was so distracted. First, I was asking myself how old the guy was. I’m obssessed with this now that I’m turning 31. Second, I keep looking at his sideburns. They remind me so much of those pictures of Tsars & WWI generals. He wasn’t growing them straight, the ends were grown to reach part of his cheeks. They were huge (sideburns not the cheeks) & I can’t help wonder what possessed him to think it’s “cool”? Then there’s the hair. His haircut was closely-cropped but wasn’t skinhead. But the thing is, on the top of his head, he’s got a spiky-hair style happening… Are they gelled? Are they an accident? They look nearly like bangs. What’s going on with this guy?

I focused now & then on the real issue at hand, how do I set up my pension with the company’s contribution? How do I get? Where’s my dental? My optical?

But every time I look at the speaker, I had the urge to whip out my phone & take his photo. Then the weirdest part? At the end of the session he was supposed to give us his card? He flipped & tossed them across the table to everyone, including to our CEO! hehe Real smooth. He can’t be more than 24.

The coming week will only hold four (4!!!) working days, leaving me & my son 4 days of bliss. Hubby gets to spend two days with us, he only got 2 days’ off for that week. We’ve got nothing big planned. If we had the spare cash we’d have a proper holiday but since our purse strings’ short at the moment, we’ll just visit Princess Diana’s memorial & lounge a bit in the park. My toddler will have his haircut in Trotters, as well.

Hubby & I will probably catch “300″ in the cinema. Since my son’s arrival, we’ve only ever watched DVDs. I think it’s time we go visit the leisure centre again. Ideally, yes, we ought to bring our son to a family film but… I really want to spend some time alone with hubby even if it’s just a popcorn date.

Son & I will probably spend a good amount of time in the garden as Spring’s officially here. I plan to bring him to our local park too so that our auntie would know where to take him, I’m thinking of visiting the local library as well, I haven’t been there for at least 2 years and I am hoping they’ve refurbished the place. The mobile library is better than its immobile counterpart!

Siempre Easter kaya nag-breaktime ang UK. We’re also going to church, sayang nga at wala namang araw ng palaspas dito. I already feel bad we missed the “Station of the Cross”. Hubby said the family will do the confession on Sunday.

So there, a week before and my mind’s already set and the long weekend is already booked.
