Soccer, Rugby and ... WORK:)

After an exciting nail-biting finish, AUSTRALIA IS THROUGH TO THE SOCCER WORLD CUP!!! Okay, so I hate soccer, but it was hard not to get caught up in all the hype and excitement of the game. Come on, everybody loves a good penalty shootout;) The only downside is that is still seems to be headline news here everyday. It's almost as if the Australian memory is erased each night when they go to bed, so each day it's like "oh yeah, what was that thing?? OMG did we? OMG we won the soccer.... OMG OMG OMG...." and the vicious cycle starts all over again. Hehe, at least NZ got the 2001 Rugby World Cup... gonna be AWESOME!!!





Not that most people think that is a bad thing. I was out with Lama and Hildegunn the other night (yes they are in Brisbane) and we met with a few travellers that they had "bumped" into the night before;) While the German was going on about the bloody soccer, I was making discrete puking actions behind him. Of course I got caught out, but me shame??? never=) Actually (yes moving away from soccer now) it was quite a fun night, though I got guilt tripped into going home early by my sister. Had a couple of beers and then Hildegunn and I got a little tipsy on her lovely duty free wine. They are coming over tonight, so there should be a few laughs;)

Okay, now moving completely away from soccer. I started my new job yesterday. I'm a PA to two teams in an investment company. Just can't seem to get away from computers. The teams are technology and client services. So I pretty much bow and rush around doing everything that the boss wants done but can't be arsed doing himself. Oh well, hopefully it'll be fun! Apart from that, not really a lot else going on. Am working full time and long hours and hehe, am also waitressing next Saturday as a personal favour for my recruiter. But it'll be cool and it's out in Paddington, which I LOVE!

Okay, enough rambling, must be off shopping. We are going on an adventure to IKEA... YAY! Next post: my big plane ramble... TBC=)
