Hey everyone!

Had a bit of a break, but I am finally back! So much to do and so many things (mostly small have happened). Just to give you a recap of what has happened over the past few weeks, isn't really much to be honest. A couple of people have left on their free will from work finding jobs elsewhere, and I have also moved desks at work and am now sitting next to Gloria for my last final weeks. 

I had considered writing about what has happened over the past few weeks, but it would honestly take me a lot longer and would be a lot fuzzier as it got closer to April the 15th from where I last wrote my blog. But decided, that I was just best enough to consider that I had a bit of a break and continue from there.

This morning I got up at my usual time and met my friend Rocio at the station. I mentioned to her that I was thinking that for at least a week or so that we should change carriages to where I use to sit before I met up with her, so I could kinda have my last final goodbye before my last day of work at the end of the month. I honestly don't think she is up for it, as I can understand changing seats will feel a little differently. But I promised it'll be only for a week.

I mentioned to my friend a funny thing that had happened within Doctor Who that I saw the night before, and I thought it was extremely funny. So when I mentioned what happened within a scene to my friend she just looked at me blankly stating that it was way too early in the morning for her. I personally couldn't believe that she couldn't get it! If you're wondering the scene was based in about the year 1835 and a guy was sitting in the riding seat of a carriage when he declared that he was lost. A small boy asked him where he wanted to go, the older man told him where. Which is when the kid said something like "You need to turn around as soon as possible, turn left then keep following the road for 6 miles until you reach your destination." The older man thanked the young boy, gave him a tip then asked for the young boys name. "My name is Thomas Thomas." I had to practically tell my friend..."His name is THOMas... THOMas!" When I basically told this to Gloria, she didn't get it as well! Bah! I may need new friends! 

This morning the trains where also delayed due to night time work running into overtime. It honestly felt as though that the train would be late by 5 or 10 minutes, which isn't that much of a big deal for me. But the train did stop at start a lot in between stations which made me about 20 minutes later than usual. There was no one really in charge of our team today except for Gloria, as the manager wont be back from Jakarta till tomorrow and the assistant manager has already left for a 3 week holiday.So we had a small meeting saying that we needed to decorate desks so that they could see it tomorrow, and also prepare a morning tea as well. 

Once we got back to our desks (or my new one in this case) we had a lot of work to catch up on and got stuck into the invoices which seems to have been piling up. There is still a high volume of mistakes being made, which just means that we are left to clean it up. Which also means that all our other work is also piling up, and making everyone a bit stressful. They also had changed our targets which we needed to reach about a week ago as well, so a lot of people are frustrated about that. But I figured that I am only here for a few more weeks so there isn't much for me to worry about or argue about as well.

During lunch a few of us decided to go into the Galleries to eat and have a bit of a catch up and chat about what has been happening for the past few days. Especially since one of the girls I was having lunch with was pregnant she was telling us about all the appointments she is and also about to have and how she is nervous and excited at the same time as well. When we started to head back to work I ended up bumping into a awesome friend of mine Jorge who I hadn't seen in such a long time. Caught up on a few things, but I was in a rush to get back to work, and he seemed to be in a rush to go somewhere too. It's weird how there is so many people rushing about the city, and you end up bumping into at least one person who know!

After we had lunch, I decided that it was best to clean up some of the desks which people had switched, so that when the manager came back they'd find their desks nice and clean. We also decided to decorate them as well as a "Welcome Back" for being away for such a long time. While a few of us did that it was Gloria's turn to write on the window, so she was having a little trouble finding inspirational quotes. Which is when I told her that when it was my turn a couple of weeks back I had put up a Doctor Who quote and no one really noticed, so I don't think anyone would really mind what quote you put up. So when she finally put one up, I decided yet again to put up another Doctor Who quote, but this time a much more sillier quote.

For the rest of the afternoon not much more happened. I keep receiving calls from Telstra to pay a bill even though I Have had it wiped off. The funny thing (well not really) is that the Telstra debt department keep calling me, but instead of waiting a few rings they hang up after just one ring. And I know it isn't something to do with my phone, as I've tested it just in case. But this time I managed to answer it and explained to them that there was a mistake and that I had it wiped off. Which is when they wanted the reference number I was referring to, but I couldn't give it to them as it was written down at home.So when it was time to leave, thankfully there wasn't any major delays and I managed to get home at my usual time and give Telstra back a call to provide them with the reference number.

Now that I have had a bit of time and also applied for a few jobs, I may get back into Star Trek the original series which I started to watch over the weekend and see how I go. I've also wanted to get into it, and I'm finding it ok so far. Nothing terribly exciting, but for the year that it was made I think the graphics are pretty awesome.
