Delivering Briefs By Cab

David came up to us at one stage and noted that brief updates had to be hand delivered because there was a problem with DX so that came as a little blow. However, despite there being more than six updates I found them to be to the same address, just with different barristers. Therefore, when all was complete I asked a David for some cab charges which were handed over with ease.

With a little bit of time to ease my day at work, I headed out to the front, hailed a taxi in the sprinkling rain and relaxed as he took us down Elizabeth Street. Passing Lyssa’s work I took a glance at the front doors and by chance or coincidence I noticed Lyssa, Penelope and the other blonde girl from her work walking in at around 4:00 p.m.

For a second I felt slight envious loathing but that passed quickly as we reached my destination. Jumping out of the taxi and paying with cab charge I headed to the barrister’s chambers, delivered all the documents and then headed back down the long-traveling elevator. Catching another cab back to work I looked to see if Lyssa was at the front of her work but there was no such luck second time round.

Trying On Hound Dog Gear

Heading back to work Najla and I just tried to get the filing down as there wasn’t really any pressure placed on us. When the end of the day arrived me and Najla set out together but once we were downstairs I parted to head for Pitt Street as Najla headed to Wynyard by herself for the first time. Heading straight to Hound Dog without fail I picked each item that I found interesting and then after having a little chat to the Asian chick who worked there with a black shirt and a white tie (It’s all fashion) I headed into the change rooms.

Just so you know, I tried on five different items in many different sizes until I could finally get the right fit. After all the swapping and choosing of clothing I came down to five items I wanted to buy. The first was a Hound Dog jacket which is made of that polyester type material and hasn’t any warming fur. It looked great when I tried it on and I appreciated how there were two zip up pockets on each side of my Chest and what’s more, they were concealed.

I also tried on a blue button up shirt and decided to choose one that wouldn’t be too tight around my Chest, it was excellent. The third item on the list was a brownish-grayish shirt and normally I wouldn’t pick this color but it looked fantastic on me. Fourth choice of the day was my favorite pick, a stretch shirt made of polyester or nylon which had a Petersham woggy type look.

It was a black shirt but there was red across the Chest in a boob-tube type section and also each arm sleaze had red running down with the black separated only by a thin white line. It looked awesome and what’s more, the neck was also red which added to the alluring appearance. Stepping out for a little I was enticed into trying on a pair of pants I have always wanting since having seen them. They are the one-stripe Adidas type pants but the stripe which runs down the leg actually glows slightly.

There is not enough pages here to describe how perfect these pants are. From the fabric that purposefully has creasing lines from the crotch down the leg when you widen your stance to the pockets from the side of the thigh down to the knees which zip up and weren’t noticed until I just tried them on an hour ago. These pants were perfect with the red and black top and add the jacket, you have a hot outfit I can’t wait to wear.

A Secret Staff Ribbon

Stepping out of the change room for a second opinion I talked to a black chick that was working there. As she walked up to me she looked at me with the small size and then the medium size and we both agreed that the small was much better. When I popped out of the change-room she looked at me as if she wanted to eat me so it must have looked good.

Taking this opportunity to do my best at chatting her up I noticed a band around her hips which had ‘HD’ all the way around it. Looking excellent I thought it came with her pants but I soon found out that only people who worked at Hound Dog actually had them, it was a union thing. Pointing to the ribbon and asking about it I ran my hand up and down the ribbon just an inch or two from her sensual dominance and it felt good how she didn’t flinch or mind at all.

Nevertheless, as I walked back into the change-room I had to make a decision on what to buy and what to leave behind but despite my not being able to get a staff discount I decided to buy all five items. Heading to the Asian chick up the front who now feels me part of the establishment of Hound Dog we tallied up my bill which ended up being just over $300.

As I forked some of that out of my wallet and Credit Card I pointed to the black girl and asked if I could be able to get one of those Hound Dog ribbons for myself. Looking at me curiously she asked why I would want it and as I noted just for sport she snuck one into my bag of goodies. “Don’t tell anyone I done this for you, you don’t know me” she uttered as I said back to her “Who are you”.

The Asian chick was weary when placing the ribbon with Hound Dog written all around it into my bag. She went to the extent of reminding me that if someone asked where I got it from, just to say that I found it on the street. It’s great to have something at home that no one else would normally have and an ally at Hound Dog, that’s a great thing too.

Pants Lay By And Shoes

From Hound Dog or before Hound Dog I actually made my way to ‘Politix’ where I bought my pants for work as well as place a lay by on the jacket. Trying them both on with a shirt I loved the feel and look of them together and couldn’t wait to have them available to me. The pants which I bought on Thursday was different in which it had four buttons instead of a zipper at the crutch.

This made for great fashion and a great investment. Whilst there the guy behind the counter touched up my shoes again but it didn’t help much as they were still creasing heading to wearing away again. Nevertheless, he told me that if my shoes done the same thing to send them back to his store and he’ll supply me with brand new shoes.

A Laugh On The Escalator

Heading to the station after my shopping was complete I couldn’t believe that it was almost 7:00 p.m. and that I had spent as much money as I did time in the City. On the way down a long escalator I looked up to see who was heading down with me. There a few steps above me was a blonde girl with her hair back in a ponytail and as I looked up at the 22 year old she let out a laugh.

It seemed like she thought she knew me at first and then when she realized I was someone else that laugh came out. On the way down the escalator we had a little bit of a chat but in the end she headed one way disgraced and embarrassed and I filed off the other way. Catching a normal train home I made it back to my house around 8:30 p.m. and as I headed home I quickly took out the camera and took two pictures of the night sky in the backyard.

Moon Photos And Budget Plans

The moon glowing with a yellow ring through the clouds looked too good an opportunity to pass up, I just hope they turned out. From there I sat down, counted up all my spending, my losses and then drawing up my plan for the next fortnight I began typing in my computer. My night ended around 11:30 p.m. as per usual and that is where my Thursday ended.

The time now is 12:30 a.m. and no one has called me or decided to come pick me up. With my eyes gaining a tired wink I shall revert to my bed for some slumber now but hope that I don’t get woken up too early tomorrow morning to head for ‘Kangaroo Valley’ if it’s still on.

If I wake up early enough tomorrow morning I can finish off the chronology of tonight and that will be that. Let this weekend not fall into shambles because I want something to remember as we scoop up the privilege of next month and what I can gain from it. There will be lots of plans, lots of celebration and lots of spending, that’s all I can say right now about next month…
