Friday night drinks are a bit Wellington thing and this week it was particularly satisfying to be notified by MT over a round of drinks that it was only 20 more working days till Christmas. This news seemed to lighten the mood that was already pretty high because the sun had come out and it makes the world look a much better place.
It’s strange to be contemplating the round of Christmas parties this year in light nights and hopefully some more of the sun. They start in the coming week when we’re off to the Zoo for a do. MT’s very excited there are guided tours and opportunities to get close up and personal with the zoo’s inhabitants. The week after we’re off to see Elton John in concert at the caketin stadium, corporate do so the tickets will probably be good. I’ve got at least four work do’s lined up so it’s all good on the social networking side.
The week’s really do fly by so guess I must be having a bit of fun at work. People are certainly very good fun to be with although I have so many contractors that after Christmas I’ll be bereft of staff as they all take their long summer breaks (usually whole of January and some of February). As a domestic-executive it will be one long vacation so have at least got that to look forward to although with the growing mountain of work to do in the next 43 weeks I’m not sure there’ll be much time for R&R before then.
Hmm, moment of madness me thinks. We’ve got 2.5 weeks at Christmas, a week in February and then Easter will be around the corner. Oh, let’s hope the sun keeps shining and the countdown will go even quicker.
