Felt pretty good when I woke up this morning. Maybe it was because it was Thursday and that if you include today, there was two days of work left for the week. It could also be that tonight there was a work party which would involve laser skirmish and also bowling which I was looking forward to very much! Another thing could be simply that a friend of mine Christina needs an extra in a play and I offered to help out on the Friday and Saturday evening, so when I woke up this morning there was a message from her saying that she'd love me to come along and be an extra. Apparently I'd be playing a drug dealing gangster. I think the fact that I said I was from St Marys may have given her a bit of convincing... I kid!
So while I was off to work I was in pretty high mood, and while explaining all this to my friend of mine Rocio I was trying to figure out what I'd have to wear as a drug dealing gangster. As apparently there are all different class types. So we started to Google for pictures to see what type of clothes I would have to wear, and ended up sending her a message to get an idea of what she would like me to hear.
When I got into work, I found out that there were not many people within the team that I was helping out that would be going to the work party tonight. Either because of kids or the fact that they weren't feeling too well and had managed to drag them selves to bed and not really looking forward to dragging a bowling ball as well.
Managed to get all the invoicing down that had piled up during the week due to an error, brought it down from over 400 invoices to 100, then back down to zero. Apparently this was the first time this sort of error happened within the company and they really do not want another repeat of it. Which I totally agree. Don't like seeing that many invoices to be processed especially since I hardly get that many at all.
During my lunch break I went shopping a little to find some accessories to wear for my little extra performance. I already had received a message from Christina saying a hooded jacket and jeans would be great and maybe some bling as well. So I ended up finding a hat and some earrings to wear to make me look a little bad ass!
The rest of the work day went by pretty quickly so when 5pm came I headed over to Darling Harbour where the work party was going to be, but since i had some time to kill I decided to read a little of my book before I met up with everyone, and it wasn't long before 6pm rolled on by and made my way to the bowling place.
It was a pretty awesome night, and since I'd never played laser skirmish before I was thankful that I had signed up for it! One of the rules was that you weren't able to run, but when people are aiming at you it is pretty hard to control yourself on not to run! The only downside is that the whole laser skirmish playing went on for only 15 minutes, and wanted it to go for a lot longer! Though with even 15 minutes of playing a lot of people had already built up a sweat from being in there.
We had a private room where all the food was for us and I managed to get into conversation with someone about Doctor Who and told them that in England that they were selling the 50th Anniversary stamps of Doctor Who which has all the faces of all the Doctors which I was looking into getting. Then I was told that he had a friend that was visiting England at the moment and would be back soon, so he'll see if they could get us a couple of stamps! So very excited about that.
At about 8pm is when we all started to play bowling and everyone was pretty excited for it to start. I had a guy in my group who thought it was pretty confident that he would beat everyone, so when I bowled a strike in my first go he was pretty shocked. But typically me in the first 5 games I was doing very great and winning a lot. I was getting either a strike or a spare, but in the last 5 games I was very lucky to hit any of the pins at all! So I ended up coming in third. Oh well... better luck next time I guess!
I met up with a couple of guys who I was suppose to catch a taxi with home, but they looked like that they were enjoying themselves a lot and I really needed to get home to get some sleep. So I ended up going home by myself instead of waiting around till they finished drinking. Plus by that stage I don't think there were any sober people around left, and I couldn't understand a single word that they were saying! Was finally great to get home and get some sleep!
