Place 72 – Day 163: Vancouver, BC – Chinese New Year Lunch

Curtis’ Day

Curtis had a busy day right from the start.

He had some things planned to do, which he did do, but also had a few people speak with him and ask for stuff, so he got that done too.

At 12:00, which came around way too fast, Curtis joined in on the lunch that was happening! Everyone put $15 in and shared a big Chinese takeaway!

It was pretty good food and a good chance to socialise.

Curtis didn’t think he’d have much to do after this, as he didn’t have anything planned, but then a few tickets came in which gave Curtis things to do until 16:20 which is when he then had a drink with some colleagues.

Curtis walked home alone as Kim had some more work to do. He got some cool photos on the way home.

Kim’s Day

As she had dropped everything off at work the night before Kim was able to start straight away with securing the new bookshelf to the wall. Shortly after this she popped out to the liquor to pick up the drinks for the afternoon.

A while after she got back, Kim helped set up the IT stuff for the monthly social talks and also got all the pizza set up. Kim orgnaised the talks well by keeping everyone in their times and making sure that everyone had a chance to ask questions.

After ahe cleared up the pizza Kim had a small amount of time to make some progress with her organising around the office so she focused on the area around her desk and arranged printer cartridges to be swapped out and had started to out things back now that the shelves had been secured.

Kim then popped out to get some eggs for one of the desserts for Lunar New Year. When she got back Kim aet up and prepared all of the snacks and printed out the answer sheets for the riddles.
Once the celebrations started Kim ran around the office giving out New Year red envelopes to everyone.

While everyone else had Friday afternoon drinks Kim organised, condensed and labelled all of the decorations and took them back down to storage. She then set a few things up for the week coming and then cleared away everything from the drinks and New Year celebrations.

Late Hockey!

Curtis has a late hockey game, so you won’t see about that until tomorrow as it’ll finish at around 00:00.

We had a bit of food, watched some TV and then headed out to the rink.


This Time Last Year!

Place 72 – Day 159: Vancouver,BC – New Phone & Free Popcorn!

Curtis’ Day

Curtis got a new phone today! He had been waiting until 10:30 as that was when it was meant to be delivered, but he didn’t receive it until 13:30.

Luckily, Curtis had a busy day and was able to take his mind off of it for a while.

Curtis eventually got it and was incredibly happy and excited! The phone he got, if you care, is a OnePlus 7 Pro.

Curtis had a bit of a break as it was international popcorn day, so the office had a gathering and ate a lot of popcorn together! Fun times.

Curtis was even busy, right up until around 16:30, which he used the last 30 minutes to get some admin done before he left for the day and met Kim to walk home.

Kim’s Day

Kim spent most of her day organising two things; Lunar New Year and the Wiki project.

Kim set up orders for the Toronto office and cancelled an order for the Vancouver office.

Kim also spent hours formatting and making changes to the Wiki.

In the early afternoon Kim was in a meeting with the team to see where the progress of everything is at. After this meeting Kim had a quick chat with another colleague about her desk set up.

Kim then spent the rest of the afternoon sorting out orders for the celebrations on friday.

Big Win

We got home, had some delicious chicken BBQ pasta which Kim made and then we headed off to hockey.

Curtis’ team won, 4-1, in a very physical, hard fought game. Curtis was +2 and had an assist, which was awesome! A fun one to play, but not to watch.

We got back home, got some admin done and headed to bed.
