Flip its been ages since I last posted. I have been so busy its wild. I am still working at sektor payments and loving every second. well, maybe not every second, but i really enjoy it. Working 830-5 was hard at first, but I'm definitely getting used to it. One of my favorite coworkers is leaving to go to Auckland after a very messy breakup. I'm sad he's leaving, but the worst part is that because he;s leaving, a guy i work with in the dungeon is being promoted to work in maximum security (we call it that because the boss works in that room so you cant be silly). The dungeon is where I work, and we have no direct sunlight and are surrounded by boxes, BUT we laugh hysterically and listen to loud music, so I love it. There is also a room we call mexican security. it used to be medium security because the boss walks in there sometimes, but we have nicknamed the boys in that room poncho and alfredo so we changed the name to mexican security. We spend a lot of time in a cold, dark room so we go a little crazy sometimes...
I saw frank turner in concert last wednesday, unreal. He sang all my favorite songs and even a postal service song! The district sleeps alone tonight. and some bruce springstein and chuck regan. I was in heaven. I went with Michelle and Ash. I got to meet Frank after the show and he invited me to have a drink with him but it was a work night so i had to decline...oh well.
I saw an improv comedy show last weekend it was so funny, a guy from church was in it. I also finally got my bike looked at last weekend. The guys at the bike store went absolutely mad over it. Apparently its a handmade falcon londoner, worth a grand when fixed up! So he replaced the tubes and tyres for me, as well as the brake pads, and charged me only 10 minutes of labour even though he spent about an hour on it! Lovely guy. really passionate about my bike (and old biked in general i think). Now i just have to replace the bearings and give it a solid clean. I watched a video on how to replace the bearings online so hopefully i can do it alright.
I went to a 21st last weekend as well. It was sweet, lots of yummy food, and went for dinner at j& k's friends place, they had 3 reeeally adorable kids we played with.
tomorrow night we are heading up to do the tongariro crossing, a legendary 18.9km hike. I can't wait, hoping the weather is good for us.
I went to jade and tracey's for dinner after work on monday, we had baked bananas in caramel sauce with bacon. amazing! and then apple crisp and hokey pokey ice cream for dessert. I;m pretty much still full. I made cinnamon buns last night but they didnt rise properly so i was disappointed. But I made white chocolate and craisin cookies tonight and they turned out well.
Finally, I am disappointed to have missed Daph's dedication but I'm so happy I got to see some photos, thanks Dad!
LOVE
We videoed the dedication (and by we I mean Rach did), so you can watch and re-watch it when you get home .
