Double Date Update

Well our double date was...interesting. I would say eventful but thanks to Eric changing his plans around it ended up just being dinner for the four of us.

Can I just say that I find watching Eric and Alan together ADORABLE?! They cuddle, kiss and hold hands in public. And when Alan complains he's cold he gets cuddles and Eric's coat! I could watch them all day! Its so CUTE!
...And I get William...

Don't get me wrong I love my handsome man. It is just that he is not the best on double dates. When it is just the two of us he can be perfectly fine, but when faced with another couple...he was awkward and spent most of the time between courses fiddling with his cutlery and refolding his napkin. When I complained I was cold, instead of giving me his jacket, I got a lecture about how I should have worn something warmer instead of a flimsy dress

At least he tried to act a little normal. In between his cutlery adjustments I got the occasional sneaky hand placed on my thigh which sent shivers down my spine every time he moved his fingertips. He even said I looked nice, even though he complained that my make up rubbed onto his blazer every time I rested my head on his shoulder.

Aw well the date wasn't too bad and William didn't ruin it. He may be a bit of a moron but he is my moron. xx

Make Up Your Mind Boys!

I am writing another one of these before work so I am a little sleepy and eating my yummy strawberry and chocolate breakfast cereal. I am going to get a lecture from Will about not being dressed yet but looking this good cant be rushed, especially on an empty stomach.

So~ as some of you may have read on my darling William's blog I have been sulking a little at my love bug lately but its OK he has apologised publicly so his punishment is over. And if a certain man of mine thinks he can get away with being "sick" on Friday to get out of our date he is surely mistaken, because I will drag him along anyway, even if he is a sneezing, coughing mess.

For those of you who don't know me and Alan have finally convinced our other halves to go on a double date. Lets just say some of the boys are less than thrilled to go. William isn't a fan of dates in general as he doesn't like public displays of affection, so a date with another couple is his nightmare, mainly because we would have to act like a couple in front of people.

Ah well Will can throw his little temper tantrum, I am still looking forward to it. I don't know what to wear though because I'm not sure what we will be doing. Alan mentioned bowling. I hope not, because I don't bowl. They have those ghastly rented shoes and the red ball is always taken by someone else. Eric doesn't want to go to the cinema and we cant decide between the four of us where to go for dinner.

Planning a date is so much easier when I only have William to worry about.

A Surprise Knight in Shining Armor

Well today was interesting...and for once none of the chaos was my fault.

Firstly I didn't have to go to work this morning because I was working a night shift. (Yes a genuine reason for me to blog at 5am) Sadly I didn't get to enjoy the wonderful sleep in I had planned because William dragged me out of bed to go to a meeting with him in the Human Resources Department. I think he secretly wanted me to keep him company. Will would never admit it but I know that was the real reason he dragged me out of bed to go to a meeting I wasn't allowed in to. I spent most of it sitting outside the door wondering why the HR department smelt like carrot today and why is it called "Human" Resources if we are death gods.
I guess they are two questions I will never know the answer too.

My actual work day started with a bang though. I walked into the office and found out that Eric and Ronald were in a fist fight in the middle of the general affairs department. From what I heard, of course me being extremely nosey and curious of the reason why my subordinates were having a testosterone filled brawl, Eric upset one of the girls in General Affairs and she went crying to Ronald. Ronald, being the charming white knight to anything in a skirt, had words with Eric and this lead to pushing, which lead to punching, which lead to a rather violent scrap in front of everyone at the office. Ronald won and both of them were very lucky that Will wasn't around to see it, though the news will probably have reached him by the morning.

Ah Ronnie~ you make me so proud~

"Soul meets soul on lovers' lips"

I felt like starting my blog with a quote today since I am in a much better mood. Life is getting somewhat back to normal. I'm back to being lazy, Will has started bringing his work home so I see him more and Eric and Ronald have been fighting over the hot chocolate in the office kitchen. I wouldn't mind their little chocolate war but they keep trying to rope me into it, which is silly as I don't drink instant hot chocolate.

Right now Will is trying to shift me and my pretty red laptop off the bottom of the bed so he can sleep, but I'm not moving! ...Just thought you should all know, also I know how annoyed he gets when I write about him.

Today has been pretty lazy. I did some over time, which mainly involved doing paper work and bickering with Will over Chinese food.
Will needs to realize that the more he nags the less chance he has of making me go to bed.

....Never mind he just took his shirt off, I'm gone.

Interns = Minions/Personal Slaves

I'm writing a blog during the day for a change. I thought I would get a head start since I have a ton of work to do today. Since my death list has been so empty Will has decided to bombard me with other work to do. Well at least I haven't had to opportunity to kill anyone...yet.

I keep getting messages asking how everyone is (Leave it to my Grellettes to remind me that I haven't posted in a while.) so here is a quick update on everyone.

My arm is better and I don't need a wrist support any more. But I am still getting the interns to fetch coffee for me because that is all this years trainees are good for. (Will would give me a lecture if I tried using one as a doorstop)

Will will be off working in the field for the next two days but he's still in charge and keeps popping back to make sure everything is still in order. Work started three hours ago and so far I've seen him six times. Someone needs a holiday.

At this very moment Ronald is running around like a chicken with his head chopped off because he has misplaced his tie and has a soul to collect in half an hour.

I haven't seen Eric this morning. So I have no idea what to say there.

And Alan is the only one out doing his job and isn't late, stressed out, missing or procrastinating by writing a blog in his office. Well at least there is one of us working.

So I should go do something, I have a rather long "to-do" list today paperwork wise. Yeah expect possibly another random blog or thousands of facebook updates of my procrastination with Will not being here to yell at me.

Well I'm off to get my lunch...or maybe I'll get an intern to fetch it for me...or maybe Ronald. Aw well I'll just see who is in ear shot. I wonder if I could train them to come when I click my fingers...

My Pajamas Could Eat Me

I got the day off work today due to my arm. I really wish William had told me that sooner instead of having be get dressed in my suit with all those buttons just to go into dispatch and be told to go home again. Though sadly I was in just long enough for Ronald and Eric to make crude jokes about my injured wrist.

As a treat/punishment William bought me new pajamas to wear since I'm ill...they are the most unsexy things on the planet, men's and two sizes too big! On the up side they are red and I look rather adorable in my giant flannel pajamas. Also I think I could squeeze myself into One of the legs instead of wearing the full trousers.
Will thought since I kept stealing his he should buy me my own. A nice thought but they are HUGE. I might just wear the top half as a nightdress.

Will has been surprisingly helpful today. So far he has redressed my arm and helped me get changed into my new pajamas (Something which I was more than happy to let~him~do~) but he did make me carry three shopping bags when we were out, a tray full of plates and my scythe. Not all that the same time of course.

He's hoping I'll be better tomorrow.

The Queen of Overtime

Thanks to my last blog William has rewarded me with a substantial amount of over time and a rather nasty job to complete next weekend. He's also confiscated my mobile phone since it is a "constant distraction from work". As you can probably guess, he's back to normal. Everyone can relax and Ronald can stop writing his will from under his desk.

I'll write more about Will later because he's my delightfully cold knight in shining armour this evening~!

So a quick summary of my day (which was much longer than desired thanks to Will and his love of giving out overtime)

I woke up on time but I still managed to be late for work because I couldn't find one of my shoes and spent the morning hunting for it. I got a lecture from William about being late and had my phone taken off me for probably the hundredth time since I bought the thing. I picked up my death list, which was horrible because Will has arranged it so I had to deal with deaths he knew I would hate. (Mainly annoying whiny women and one death involving eyes, which was so unnervingly disgusting of a death I couldn't help but shudder watching it. It was gross.) After all that I then popped to the glasses department to replace the chain of my glasses as it was getting a little worse for wear and then I went home, collapsed on my sofa until William made me something to eat; extra rare steak with potato. (I want a second helping, its been on my mind since I cleared my plate earlier)

Now for the reason why William is wonderful and my knight in shining armour!

Eric told me before I finished my overtime today that William punished someone in our department for saying horrible things about me. Apparently this shinigami called me a rather unpleasant name (Lets just say its another word for prostitute along with several other nasty names, I'm a lady I don't swear...often) and not only that, they said it to Will's face. This lead to this shinigami receiving a mountain of overtime and possibly being transferred departments due to "misconduct". Of course once I found this out I had to reward~ William for his gentlemanly behaviour...several times~

Ah! William you are my prince charming! My knight in shining white armour! My stone faced guardian angel! My hero~!

Pet Peeves

I'm in a mood to rant. I'm not in a particularly foul mood I just feel like ranting about something. Currently I'm sprawled across my bed while waiting for Will to get out of the shower. (He's going to be all dripping, shirtless and shiny when he comes back! So good things do come to those who wait~)



So here's a list of my pet peeves (while I'm waiting to die of an excessive nosebleed)

People with bad hair: Sometimes I wish I still had my old scissors so I could do the world a favour and snip off some people's hair.

Office Stationary Thieves: Everyone knows Ronald Knox is the stationary bandit. He even took my heart shaped post-its! I'm going to start gluing things to my desk.

The Dispatch Game of "Let's see who can get Grell to scream the loudest": This little "sport" was created by Ronald and Eric. It involves jumping out at me at random occasions to see who can get me to scream the loudest. It's nice to see what some people find my lady-like shriek entertaining... (So far the winner has been Eric who hid under my desk for an entire afternoon just to frighten me)

Unpleasant Sales Assistants/Waitresses: Shinigami are supposed to work without a smile, what is their excuse?

People Staring at Me: I know I am beautiful, wonderfully dressed and simply stunning to look at but seriously, if you need to stare that much just take a picture.

People Taking My Photograph When I Have No Make Up On: Doing this to me can be hazardous to your health.

Food Thieves: Another of Ronald Knox's crimes. He helped himself to my Easter dinner and steals my snacks out of my office. Apparently he is helping me watch my figure by eating all of my food.

Oh second thought maybe I should have just wrote a list of things Ronald does to annoy me, since he is featured in most of the above points.

Well I think I shall go see if Will needs a hand washing his back~

Scared to DEATH☆

It is 5am and I am writing a blog to avoid sleeping. I had a terrible nightmare last night and I am a little frightened of going to bed now. It was so scary I woke up and spent an hour clinging to William who didn't really appreciate me waking him up early on one of his few days off in the week. I haven't had nightmares in years.

So other than my terrible night terrors. We got a cat! Well Ronald did, kinda. He ran it over with his lawnmower and is now paying for its vets bills to patch the little stray up. I would explain the whole thing but he explains it better on his Blog

A lot of you have been asking about the rocky road I made the other day and it turned out fabulous! I actually made something that didn't get burnt or under cooked. William ate most of it and Eric has been trying to steal the stack I saved for the shinigami who did my paper work for me. So Success! Usually when people find out I made something they avoid it so this is a first!

I thought I would share the recipe for it below.




I want to bake something else. Any ideas?

Happy Saint Patrick's Day Grellettes!

I'm writing an early one today because I have to work tonight. Apparently I have to make up for the work I missed last night due to Will and I's "encounter". (And for some of you who think Will has been too nice to me lately, he hit me with a book ten minutes ago and it hurt, luckily it wasn't a hard back)

I don't usually celebrate Saint Patrick's Day but its usually Ronald's excuse to do his "Day til you DIE" routine and get drunk. So in preparation for his shenanigans William has scheduled him to work up a mountain for the entire day. Alan is off sick again so Eric is off the Playstation and covering his workload. In my case I don't have to work for another three hours so I'm going to sit my fabulous self down, watch Public Enemies and drool over Johnny Depp. (I don't usually go for humans but he is YUMMY! I could eat him up with a side of ice cream, but he's so hot he would probably melt it all)

So HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!!!

Love you all~

No One Puts Grelly in the Corner

I'm going to start this off with a bit of a rant because there is a few things I want to clear up with my fellow shinigami:

1) I DON'T whiten my teeth.

2) My teeth are REAL. They are not dentures Eric!

3) I DON'T have a tongue ring and asking me to stick my tongue out to prove it was unnecessary.

4) I'm NOT ginger! (not that there is anything wrong with being ginger. I just hate when people get my hair colour wrong)

Some of the rumors about me in this office are unbelievable! I guess I cant blame them for having fantasies about me and making up little stories.

Ok now those points are cleared up and off my chest, On with the blog!

Operation "Keep William" officially started today and I've discovered that begging and hugging his waist wont work and makes him make me sit in the corner of his office for most of the work day and confiscate my phone. Apparently if I'm going to act like a child he is going to punish me like one. So I shall have to come up with a plan B for tomorrow.

I got another request from HAPPYWISE asking about clothing and my wardrobe. So here's some random points about my wardrobe:

- I own four corsets. (One steel boned)

- I don't cross dress all the time. I wear jeans and shirts sometimes just like every other "guy".

-I have 12 dresses, which I wear on special occasions. I do own other items of women's fashion that I do occasionally wear outside of work.

- I own WAY too much lingerie.

- I've lost count of how many pairs of sunglasses I own.

- I have red legwarmers which other shinigami find hilarious but they keep my ankles warm so I don't care.

I just remembered that I have important work to do for tomorrow so I shall see you all later my Grellettes~

Buh Bye~

Free to a Good Home: One Ronald Knox

Everyone around here is going to bed so I shall use my blog to keep my sleepy self occupied; even though William looks so CUTE when he is sleeping. I would pet his hair but he has frighteningly good reflexes when it comes to being touched in his sleep.

There has been hardly any work done around here lately. With Eric's on-going Black Ops addiction and Ronald's new found love of Pokemon I give it a few more days until Will completely snaps and shuts off the elctricity to the shinigami offices. That still wont deter Ronald and his DSi but at least it will stop him looking stuff up on Pokemon websites while at work.

Dearest Knoxy has been more lazy and irritating than usual lately. Not only does he keep informing me of his gaming progress (If I hear the words "Grell-senpai! Its evolving!" one more time...) he wrinkled my laundry and taught the general affairs staff the lyrics to "I don't like your Grell-friend", a stupid song he made up to the tune of Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend". I want to feed him to his own lawnmower.

My Moulin Rouge disk has returned! Well...parts of it any way. The culprit is still a mystery and whoever it is owes me a pressie. It better be a new Moulin Rouge DVD AND something else (preferably shoe related).

Oh I noticed a rise in the number of people following my little blog thanks to some fabulous person. Feel free to say hello, don't let the teeth fool you, I don't bite~

Buh Bye Now~

Hello 21st Century

Ronald and I were having a discussion about differences between working in the 21st century and the 19th century. This was mainly sparked my Eric's new addiction to Black Ops...Seriously! We haven't seen him in nearly 5 days. I wonder if he is still alive...

But any way here is my list of "New" things I love:

Hair Straighteners

My i-pod (red headphones included)

Better make-up (I actually wonder sometimes how I survived without long lasting foundation)

Rights! (yeah I could get all political and stuff here but I wont)

Better clothes

My cute little red laptop that I write my blogs on.

Soap! (Yes we all washed back then but other people smell less now)

All year round strawberries

...Ok I think that is everything, or at least the main things. I will make Ronald write one of these as well, especially since it was his idea in the first place.
Oo maybe I could ask Will what he thinks and stick his list up here, if he'll let me.

By the way I am still on the hunt for my missing CD and plug.




Buh Bye Now~
