Curtis’ Day
Curtis had a few meetings today.
He had his daily meeting, followed by doing a little bit of admin and work, but then right back into another meeting.
This meeting was very interesting, though, and it was planning for the team’s financial forecast, so it was cool for Curtis to see what went on there.
After that meeting, Curtis got some ticket work done and was then meant to have another meeting, this time an external meeting with a cloud software company.
The representative didn’t show up, so Curtis didn’t have that meeting, but did eventually get his questions answered via email.
For lunch, Curtis and a couple of colleagues went to a place called Hot Star Chicken. This is a Taiwanese street food place where you get a big slab of fried chicken in a paper bag.
Curtis had a BBQ one and Kim had a Korean flavoured chicken.
Kim went back to work and so did Curtis. He put the remainder of the chicken on a plate and ate it that way when he got back to the office and it was much easier to eat.
After lunch, Curtis spent an hour doing some ticket and project work, both were successful, and then he had an hour long meeting with someone from legal.
After that, it was beer and hockey time! Curtis grabbed a beer and watched the first period of the leafs game, before walking home.
Kim’s Day
Today Kim finally saved all of her outstanding travel invoices! She had a full half a months worth and spent most of the morning sorting through those.
She then went and met Curtis and a couple of his work friends for lunch, but on the way back to work stopped to pick up some chocolate bars for the baby shower.
When she got back to the office Kim put all of the regular things in the fridge for the end of week drinks.
She then got on with some administration tasks before starting the fun stuff of baby shower preparations.
Kim printed off the answer sheets for the nappy game, melted the chocolates into the nappies, sorted the snacks and made the mocktails. The mocktails on the menu today were:
- Mumgo Colada
- Gran-berry ‘Cider’
- Up at the Crack of Sunrise
Kim was very pleased with the mockt
ails and names she picked for them. Kim also arranged for rum to go with the mango colada style drink for those that were drinking alcohol.
Once all the games were set up the team allocated 15 minutes to sit, enjoy and catch up together before inviting the rest of the office to join in.
They drank mocktails, played ‘mark the soother on the baby’ and ate cookies.
A few other people joined while the team were guessing what was in the nappies. Then, suddenly, another department joined in with a fondue set!
As it was someone’s birthday the day before they celebrated with fondue, this was a welcomed addition.
Kim decided to pick a winner for the nappy guessing game so ran around the office to see if anyone else wanted to try first, a few more people had a go and then Kim went through the correct answers. It was so much fun and it was great to see everyone relax and enjoy each other company!
Most people left around the same sort of time, so the few who were around at the end cleared up with Kim. She then realised that she had not yet place a weekly shop order for next week, so she put one of those through and then went home.
It was a brilliant evening and a really nice way to celebrate the excitement of a new little baby on its way!
Silly Videos
Once hockey was finished, we each had some food (Curtis had the last of the roast and Kim had the remainder of her chicken from lunch) and sat and watched silly videos.
Before we knew it, it had been a few hours!
It was fun to just sit and watch stupid stuff for a while, though.
Tomorrow’s Saturday, but a busy one!
