What a life! Do we really all have to work???



I have survived the first half of my probation period and submitted two tenders just on time (four minutes to spare) and am totally exhausted! What a feat to try and understand a business in record time and write a submission involving all practice groups and all lawyers. Nightmare! I must have done ten days of 16 hrs in the office trying to get my head around it all. Not happy! But hopefully it will be worth it.
Even though it all feels very random and chaotic, I do feel quietly positive about the role. There are some very nice and talented people in the office... It will hopefully only get easier now.

This is my office building and the fantastic view from my desk...

The Pink Ball!




Last weekend an old school friend of Craig's invited us along to the Think Pink Charity Ball for breast cancer which was of course themed PINK and we made every effort to fit into the theme!! It was a really good night with lots of cheesy dancing and great food and way too much champagne. We even made it into the local City News Magazine! How funny!

Heading was: Pink is the new black: Forget boring black tie, the Think Pink Think Choices Charity Ball saw the CITY's ELITE don a kaleidoscope of brilliant colour at the Thai-themed event.... Hee hee!! THen it is followed by picture of us -they must have been really impressed with Criag's lovely pink bowtie!

Apart from that nothing much else to report, sorry! We are just working away and not doing much else. It is time we organised a weekend getaway!

I am working on it!
