So delayed...

Wow. So sorry little blog, you've been neglected shamefully. Here's a quick update.
So I returned from whirlwinding around Tasmania (now birthplace of Princess Mary of Denmark to the rest of the world) and entered FULL TIME work!
This explains an amazing amount. Like why I arrive home from my 1.5 hour commute and napped till 9pm today. And why I no longer do fun things like nick off to the beach at midnight, but instead am usually in bed by 11.
Sorry all those full time workers in the past who I have hassled into staying up till 3 am, or paid out as grannies when they went to bed early. I now see the bleary, too early light.
But, for anyone interested, work is great. I mean, how often does a job come with a perfect combo of office peeps, equipment and work? Just the location sucks - and even then, it is right near the beach - just far from my house!
Okay, so here's my office people, there's only 4.
There's my boss Dan, who had a two week old baby when I started, so at least most of the time he looks worse then me in the mornings. He's quite funky, drives a black VW bug and as a sideline he sings for commercials and has probably the most relaxed personality a boss could have. I think he's still adjusting to being a boss.
There's his sister, Lisa, who has the title office manager, and boy does she deserve it! Unashamedly addicted to golden oldies and always shocked when I can't recognise a one hit wonder popular before my birth.
Then there's Corrinne, another newbie who started about the same time I did. Much more proactive about being useful than me, she also sings quite random little snatches and has joined the no shoes office union quite happily.
Ok, that's all for now folks.
Oh hang on, by the way, when I got back from China, I tried to say a couple of little sentences about the experience and ended up crying in front of THE WHOLE CHURCH!!! But now that it's been a few months, I think I can safely say something, so that's what the next blog will be about.
