Freaky things

1. The blister (a.k.a. mosquito bite) on the back of my left leg is now the size of a small ping pong ball. A ball filled with clear yellow goo. It is painful. The skin around the blister is aching because it is so tight. I thought about using a paper clip to pop it but I wanted to sterilise it first - unfortunately there are no smokers on my floor to borrow a lighter from (what kind of firm is this, to have no smoking lawyers?) so I guess I will have to go to a hospital. I just hope they don't ask me if it's chickenpox again.

2. My ex-ex-boss has asked me to join her firm's drinks for a new associate. Apparently she heard my friend and I were going to have lunch today so she asked my friend to invite me along to the drinks. Interesting...

3. My boss came in to tell me that one of my former acquaintances (a client, actually) in London is now in Hong Kong and he stopped by to (a) say hi to my boss (b) give his regards to me (c) say that my Dad is a nice guy. Apparently he helped him out when he was in London. I never knew that?!
