Work

Today was my first day back in the office after the Christmas break. Actually I should say is, it's still going. It feels like I've been here forever.

Mirjana gave me a daily time wasting calendar for Christmas, and so far today I've already caught up on all the days I missed because I wasn't at work, so had better stuff to do. My favourite one was the page for today, 5 January, which involved finding as many country names as I could in a word jumble thing. I think I got them all.

I also responded to an email we received from two women who were complaining that they had to pay double the amount each for a hotel room than couples have to. I wanted to suggest that they might like travelling together sometime, to cut down on their costs, but I think they mainly prefer writing emails together. Their email address sounded like it came from a cult. I hope the Federal Police don't find my email response when they raid their compound.

I went shoppping at lunch time today. I like to wait until a bit into the sales, when the shops get a bit more desperate to get rid of their old stock. Today it paid off big time, I got a fancy new Sportscraft shirt at Myer marked down from $129 to $44.25. I used a $50 voucher work gave me for ten years of service to pay for it. I'm not sure if I feel good about that or not.

I'm thinking ahead to tonight now. My home time is precious now that I'm back at work, there's only a few hours a night and I don't want to waste them. I think I'll spend them going to the gym, then watching old Sopranos episodes (not a waste at all).
