I have seen the light.

Well, I'm back at work. This go around I'm working in Riperian Plaza, a 40+ story building where the first 38 floors are offices and the top 5 or so are penthouse condos. Unfortunately my allowance won't cover one of those as they're going for 10g+ a month . But in the meantime I'm working on the 36th floor, and so far the highlight is our coffee room / kitchen:

For anyone who was doubting that Australia rocks, let you be forever silenced. For those of you doubting that America kind of sucks, let you be rebuffed.... because our project is for Exxon/KBR and they both have a strict policies against the use of the more "liberal" substances found in this particular work kitchen.

Tomorrow, I open the fridge. I'm scared. In the meantime the hunt for local bank accounts and a place to live. Any suggestions? City or inner city burbs?

I'm Back

Well, finally... I'm back in Brissie. I arrived today around 11:30am and spent the day re-setting, showering after 24 hours in planes/ports, buying a mobile phone for here, meeting Ed for a beer, and chilling out. It's good to hear Australian accents again.... I'm exhausted and going to bed... But first here is the compulsory pics of the view and hotel/apt... 41st floor, more to follow when my eyes are open again.

Count down

The countdown is on... 3 more days of work and a transatlantic flight and I'm back in Canada. Looking forward to it now, finally! BBQ booked for Saturday, and golf at Kananskis on Monday. I love it when a plan comes together.
