Well, what happened this week… hmmmm, work started off with getting into detailing the requirements for the companies office web-help system that I’m going to be to building over the next couple of weeks, so that’s interesting! Monday had a squash match and got completely trounced. Which was a shame! Still, I got over it when I got my own back with an uzi. No, that’s not true, I was just totally off form.
Pretty excited about going on TWALK My friend and sometime squash partner Thor invited me to join the team he’s on. Should be – well.. completely tiring. It’s kind of a Rogaine (a 24 hour Orienteering event), but the clues are cryptic… and it’s based up in the mountains somewhere.. I’m not entirely sure how much I will do, will decide on the night I guess. Starts with getting picked up by a bus and dropped in a mystery location, then the first leg takes about 3->6 hours depending on fitness! That takes you to some DOC hut where there’s food (yay) and more looping routes that you can do out of there. Well, that’s what I understand of it all anyway, guess I will know more next weekend.
Climbing again on Tuesday and Thursday, though nothing too special, I got the 3 month pass again, and I really have to make the most of it, been out of practice for too long.
Friday was great fun, pics to follow hopefully. It was a themed party with work. I invited Sam along as Glynn was feeling off, and we were stuck for one person to come along, and it was great that he headed. The theme was that we were on a ship (in 1938) on the way to Argentina, when it goes off course and gets sabotaged. I was the dodgy owner of the fleet (Sly Sinker). My info was that I’d been embezzled out of my fortune by Harry Hood the accountant, so there was no insurance on the boat and I was penniless. There were some British and German agents on board too, kinda, and nuclear devices, and film stars, locals (who’ll look after your every need..) Yes, all in all a fun evening. Everyone got dressed up and made an evening of it.
What was also cool was that my boss Andrew, offered to take Sam and I out sea kayaking in Littleton sometime.. so will have to remind about that one from time to time ( ‘Yes Andrew, I’m sure I can make this release, but I’ll sure need a relaxing weekend on the water’ ) that should do it ;)
And tonight off to dinner in Memorial Ave, should be great fun, and tomorrow I have to get my snowboard and boots and bindings in the ski-sale.. Well I hope to anyway.
