Day 2 at work! a lovely wednesday once again full of sun :)
Woke up early again today, had a fabulous breakie once again of my passion fruit yogurt, and a banana, and some museli, made a lunch and it was off to work again! so nice to walk the few blocks and then just to the bus for a short bus ride.
this time i was 20 minutes early to work haha so i read for about 5 minutes but then just went to work early. i got to meet two more people today, there are 6 people who work in our little corner and i am obsessed with each of their names (or maybe just how they pronounce them haha)
there is: Laura (who i mostly work for), Siena (the nicest girl i have ever met, seriously, she's soooo soft spoken and just adorable; she is from Perth and just started working a week ago :) ), Julius (the only guy) who is hilarious; Fiona (its her 40th birthday today!) ; Callie (she left today for London and Hong Kong for "Global Roundtables"... i want her job!!; and Holly (she is the one that is in charge of everything but shes working in the US for the week)...
today we celebrated Fiona's birthday by singing to her and having tons of blackberry cheesecake...i thought i didn't like cheesecake, but i also thought i didnt like plain chocolate or beer, and things are starting to change a little here ;) but dont worry i still dont like beer, but last night was an exeption, but anyways back to work...
so we sang her a little song, and i worked worked worked... all the girls are so nice and friendly, we all joke around here. Today i did a few important tasks, but one of them was this excel spreadsheet that literally took me like 3 hours and 8490382390 tries to make, it was like a puzzle! sooo hard! but it was perfect in the end tehehe i can sometimes sneak onto google to check emails and just once in awhile facebook during my lunch break, but its really hard to keep up with communication all the way over here! there is just so much to tell constantly!!!
the rest of the work day was nice, and then i went home, made some yummy yummy dinner, had a glass of wine ;) and then got ready to go out with the group!
we went to "Scruffy Murphey's" a total like college irsh pub where every Wednesday night from 8:30-midnight there is dragqueen karaoke, yes i did say drag queen karaoke... well anyways the big rugby match was on, so we all ordered some drinks (me of course my fav cider) but pitchers of beer were only $7! we waited and waited until the game finally ended, and then wow was i in for a surprise.... there was a stage set up with all these lights and tables of "regulars" who apparently have been coming here since like before the millenium haha...
anyways, so then the two dragqueens come out...OMG hahah one was like i swear 7 feet tall and had better legs that i will ever have. and the other was like an old man, but a woman, ohhhh geese.... so the way it went, was you put your name in for a song request and then at the end you get your name in a drawing for $100 towards the bar haha... so first the drag queens went around asking where everyone was from and making the most hilarious comments, i swear i have never laughed so hard!
then the first lady was up.... let me just first tell you that i thought she was just here to watch the game, but oh nooo, apparently she has been coming every night for like 30 years bahahah, dont worry i will attach photos, but shes this tiny old little lady in a poncho, i also recorded half the acts because it was soooooo worth it.... then after her there was this old man (i think probably like in his 70s, with total side burns that went like horizontal on his face, and he was by himself) and he sang some rock song, and i swear i thought he was going to have a heart attack! we were all dyyyyyinngggg... the same poncho lady had a bunch of friends who were all i think the people that are filmed on american idol because they are so terrible but yet think they are good.... and of course the drag queens had to perform (hilarious once again) and of course we had to go up and make the biggest fools of ourselves! us girls sang lady marmelaude.... luckily it was after about 10 pitches of beer and cider....but we got a ticket for a free pitcher! and it the end we won $20 towards the bar, saving it for next time....
at the end, the entire bar was up dancing, and yelling at the top of their lungs the YMCA hahaha it was suchhhhhh a fun and great night, i really enjoy hanging out with all the people in my program! it was interesting to hear how everyone's work experiences were too, some didnt like their jobs at alll! and some were doing total bitch work... but others really liked their's ;)
afterwards Katie and i stumbled back to our place, luckily i had stolen a bunch of cookies and crackers from work... and then it was off to bed :)
