Well, this weekend was a bank holiday, it's the Queen's Birthday, so Kent and I were all excited to go up to Manly and North Sydney and see the beaches...It's rained, and when I say rain, I mean monsoon! It's kinda funny because as you walk down the street, you see broken umbrellas everywhere. All the trash cans are full of them. Ours has lasted so far, but it does have a tendency to go inside out at the slightest breeze now. The winds are unlike anything I've experienced before. This isn't normal though, all the aussies keep saying that this is very unusual. The rain isn't, but the 40 mile an hour winds are. OK anyway, So kent and I went up to the Australia Museum, that was cool. Then we came back to the apartment because our shoes and pants were soaked through. The weather reports seem to say that Monday will be a little better, so hopefully we can go up to Manly and North Sydney then.
Oh, so I don't know if any one else noticed, but there is an American show playing here called Torchwood, the main character is the lead guy from Shark Attack 3. I was excited I noticed, Kent was embarrassed that we would know that. There is a part in the preview for the show that he says something like "didn't you know that I'm the man that can't die" and then he makes the "Megala-who!?" face, and i was like, HOLY CRAP ITS THAT GUY!
So I survived my first week at work (by that i mean two and a half days). Seems very interesting. My boss is an interesting woman. I am going to wait a couple weeks to pass any judgments though. I'm not sure quite how to take her yet. She seems to like me and has been very nice so i can't complain. The building I work in is so awesome. It's a government building, but its very modern in the inside, and it has a free "lounge" where they have a huge selection of national and international newspapers and a room full of magazines that people just come in and read before work or on their breaks. It's like a library but not. And they have a Library as well, plus three restaurants, a scale model of the CBD (central business district) under the floor in the entrance way, exhibits through out the building, it's just such a neat place.
Alrighty, there is a special on deadly Australian animals that i have to watch! TALK TO YOU LATER!

YEAH! SOUNDS LIKE A WICKED KILLER TIME!! hehe Torchwood was showing in England when I was there, but I watched other shows like Absolutely Fabulous, and Catherine Tate.... See if you get them.
Lol Megala-who.... thats pretty hardcore!
Stay safe out of the monsoons, and look for prawn crisps (shrimp flavored chips) They are so nasty but you just have to experience them!
Here at the park its lame. Mike just keeps smiling and every so offten will blame one of us for not doing our job under his breath- which is really anoying. Jon Lynch seems to be hitting on all the new girls, and Cori and I are doing well :)
