Survival!

Well .. I have survived my first week in my new team .. YAY!

I'm doing testing in the technical delivery team for one of our big projects at the bank .. it's not necessarily thrilling stuff, but it's still rather challenging (cos i'm learning something new) and already quite busy .. I have to come up with these test design specs and test cases, which means a lot of documentation reading just to get a feel for the system .. was working away on that all day, but then this arvo was interrupted as I had to help a person from another area collate test data .. it meant looking at our system and the system which hungly worked on before .. fun fun, not ...

the lady i am working with though is quite nice .. we were talking about completely random stuff, like getting married, travelling etc :p better than not getting along i guess :p she's from ireland, seems really colourful and friendly :o)

my comp is stuffed atm though .. i brought over my comp and it's just been having major problems with printing and the office products keep hanging everytime i try to do a save as .. frustrating!

my neighbour in my partition is nice too .. he's away next week though .. I asked him if he knew where I could get some drawers from and he actually organised it all for me! Such a sweetie!

We had birthday cakes for morning tea too .. pavlova, chocolate cake, danishes, sausage rolls, pies .. yummy! I hate socialising though, i never know what to say to all these strangers esp when they start talking about things i have no clue about ...

met a real cow the other day though :p My neighbour had told me to go downstairs to the admin assistant to look for a foot stand thingy, and i asked her about it and she rudely told me to ask the admin assistant on my own floor .. she just seemed so b!@#$y about it, you'd think i'd asked her to go all out for me or something! hmm

I was really happy to find out that there's boxing at the bond st gym at lunch! wewt! I didn't notice it before, until i looked at the big timetable at the gym (by chance i decided to look at it) --> cos it's in the room where they do yoga and pilates .. Bernard (the guy I did boxing with at SL) also missed it .. he's happy too though, that we can now do it together in the city! Yay, I have my old partner back!

I had to rush to Carlo from work on Wednesday to make the gym class there .. it wasn't a bad class - partnered up with a nice girl called Susan, we had to do skipping and just a variety of activities there which was good .. but i'll prolly try to attend the city classes instead, as it's easier for me to go at lunch than to rush home from work! Bernard was even considering going to carlo just to go to boxing as he'll be missing it when he moves from SL to the city! but alas, he no longer has to do that!

Had lunch with Kaushik, Alan and one of Alan's teammates (and ex teammate of Kaushik) at this Thai place at Galeries Vic today .. was a bit far to get to from my building though :o( Was nice food though!

Was meant to have an SL reunion on Wednesday with the old SL crew, but only Matt, Hungly and myself could make it .. We went to the Hunter Bar where their food is about $9 each .. it's okay, it's not a bad place to eat at and their steaks are quite decent .. I think we're going to try again next Wednesday, but i'm considering going to boxing instead :p

On Monday, my team won both games of frisbee ... this means we play in the semis this Monday! I managed to score 1 in both games, and in the first game, I ran long to catch a disc off my captain, Warwick, and then threw it on to another teammate who scored .. that felt good, cos i actually was quite useful then .. I dont know how we'll do in the semis, I never thought we'd reach that far .. but the worst we can come now is 4th which is pretty good! I honestly thought we'd do heaps worse than that!

I'm currently captain of our div 3 team for next season (only by name, but i'm going to pass it on to Josh .. it's only cos he was too lazy to organise anything! pfft :p) and we have 16 players - 8 being girs .. that means 5 subs which is a lot of subs! I've signed up for div 2, but my team only has 6 players which is not enough so not sure what's going to happen with this team :o/ I wanna play 2 divs, cos I really dont think i'll get much of a run in our div 3 game with so many players! am looking forward to playing with Belinda, Amanda and Louisa - all the best girls end with the letter a :p Lee and Phil are also on this team - it's a pretty good team, lots of potential and I think with 3 of my fave frisbee girls on the side, it should be quite a lot of fun .. I hope :p hehe louisa and I will be mucking about like crazy I reckon :p It's been a while since I last played with her!

Think that pretty much sums up my week .. been feeling slightly blue lately, and really exhausted .. think work's just taking a lot out of me atm :o(

Oh - Happy Birthday Xerxes :o) That's for Wednesday!
And congrats Mamo on the job offer :o) yay!

hmm best be off to bed now .. wanna gym it tomoz morning! :o)
