Where has the time gone? There isn’t any.

We are still really short-staffed at my place of employment, yet the prestige of the illustrious Subiaco Hotel lives on with a vengeance.  As if the establishment wishes to make up for lost time, (aka January when no one goes out or spends money after the holidays) we have been packed to the rafters at nearly every meal for weeks.  Everyone is getting at least one more shift than they’ve asked for, meaning I get 6 per week.  Roughly 40-50 hours.  Needless to say I’ve been squeezing in the smallest hint of a social life where I can.

I did, however, get the whole weekend off for my birthday party (after a great deal of waving my magic wand and imploring my coworkers to have a heart).  It was amazing!  Unfortunately most of it took place in a casino, so I don’t have any photos to share.  We started off at dinner at a place called Yù.  It’s within the same complex as our hotel and the casino and is the only fine dining asian cuisine one can find at Burswood.

Notes on a Blueboard

A few weeks ago Matt and I acquired a whiteboard from Officeworks.  I’d been really wanting one for to-do lists and as a place to put up little things here and there with magnets.  The one we bought is actually just a small blue square, maybe 5 inches a side.  What it’s become is a canvas for reenacting silly day-to-day situations.  Obvserve:

Hi. Umm, I have a 10am appointment apparently?/ Umm...it's 10:30 actually.

It all started with my little yoga man up in the corner.  I drew it ages ago just to make Matt laugh.  I’m always showing him the more impressive yoga positions at which I am now a pro, and this one he probably recognizes most.  Unfortunately I didn’t get any photos of the last few scenes we drew.  But from now on I’m going to keep track of our antics, perhaps posting them occasionally when I find them clever enough.
