this week has been AWESOME. wednesday we had to dress up for work in state of origin colors, and being a queenslander; i decided to back the mighty maroons for the third year in a row (which happens to work in my favour, as theyve won every year since). going with my general theme of shock value, i dressed in silky short rugby shorts, a maroon pride tshirt, knee high black socks, heels and a maroon ribboned hairband. the day was hilarious. every client left my office with a major smile on their face and laughing, and the staff and i had a ball! it was a great all round day; and didnt stop there. photos were taken during the event; and as soon as they are emailed to me; ill be sure to post one.
i returned home from work to the bebbe fed, bathed and in bed; and the mr. and his best mates crowded in our lounge room, drinking beer in preparation for the game. i was still excited from the days events, so put a bunch of cocktail nibblies in the oven, made a chip and dip platter, grabbed a beer and settled on the sofa to watch the game unfold. it was an amazing match; the last 20 minutes were exhilarating. we all jumped and screamed as the score grew closer to victory; and we won! i then left the men to their drunken debauchery/devices and headed to bed; having to work the following morning and not wanting to nurse a vicious hangover.
i woke in the morning, got ready and headed off for an early staff meeting. the meeting went well; and topics of business were addressed that i was feeling unsure about; so left it feeling educated, revived and motivated; easing the minor insecurities i was having about my new job. during that meeting it was announced that id won the employee of the month award, alongside two other colleagues, being given a certificate, gift voucher to the value of $50 (which is awesome as i need a new thin wool cardigan) and a bottle of wine for our growing collection.
all in all its been a fantastic week; and one that ive thoroughly enjoyed. :D
