build up till Christmas

This year I am feeling more chrismassy than other years, I guess it is because I have a lot of things happening like flying to Melbourne for my cousin's wedding, and then coming back and spending it with my immediate family, then with the in laws. On Boxing day there is a plan to see family friends, and then on the 27th it's Mel's birthday party and she would have just come back from Hawaii. On the 31st Gail is holding her bday/NY eve party and I will have a chance to catch up with some of the girls.

Even though it all sounds a lil hectic, I feel it is my time to relax and forget about work for a lil while. On Friday night, DIAC held it's Christmas party at the Northbridge hotel. The Social club organises this once a year and most of the time they do a good job of promoting it and minimising the costs as much as they can. Because it is a government agency, and our boss does not have profits to spend on a Christmas party. Although I do think he gets paid BIG bucks, that he should at least buy something or subsidise some stuff so he can reward the poor, hard working staff in our building.

Anyways...my job is going for an upward turn now...I had some very nice comments from my claimants saying that they feel happy with their job and themselves because of the support they are getting. I hope it's because of my kind and caring approach that makes them feel that they can trust me to help them out. I don't think the managers like my approach very much, but I think it works...rather than talking down to someone, forcing them when they can't be forced. And I often get frustrated at these people. There is nothing wrong with being firm, but they shouldn't be degrading people when they speak.

Things at home have been good, Fernando and I have decided to go walking every evening for at least 1/2 hour to an hour to try and lose some of the belly fat before the trip to Melbourne. I just hope we can fit into our old formal clothes or then we will have to buy new threads in Melbourne. We also spent our christmas money for each other on a new digital SLR, the Nikon D90. But I can't believe it has been a week and it is still sitting in its box! I want to open it, but with Sofia running around it will be a hard to stop her lil fingers from grabbing lil parts and also screaming because she will be curious to hold it. Must remember to buy an even cooler Christmas present for her so she will be distracted from the D90.

Hello there.
I've tried organising christmas parties in the past, and it really is a thankless task most of the time. Its also surprisingly stressful to take responsibility for a entire evening like that - you can only hope and pray that things will work out ok and that people end up having a good time.

With that said, I must say that our Christmas party this year was a fizzer. I had a decent enough time and I dont regret going... but it certainly lacked atmosphere. I know I sound like an old man when I say this, but I just though the music was a little too loud :-) I just wanted to sit (and perhaps dance a little) and catch up with people I hadnt spoken to in a while - I tend to get grumpy when I have to yell to be heard and struggle to hear what people are saying. Yes.. I am an old man :-)

That being said, I did enjoy the walk to the Monkey... god I'm boring :D
