Work
Been busy running my high through put assays and general being screamed at by a scientist that is moving from Hamilton to Auckland because she finds the people in Hamilton difficult to get on with. I have learn, it isn't them. It took me 2 days or organising and sorting and general managing to get her move as smooth as possible, but it went to custard. Then I was angry, I mean really angry - causing stomach ulcer bottled anger. Then I got confused, then I found a Wüsthof Culinar 10" carving knife some where between my shoulder blades and everything became clear. 
So it has become a shrug the shoulders and get on with it, and compliment them on the style in which they did it. That all aside I manged to get a reasonable chunk of work done, which is surprising considering the previous dramas took 3 days.

Well it has been a week of social events as well. But we will start with Friday a week ago when I handed over my cellphone to Vodafone because the software glitches became over whelming. It was a little annoying when the phone would crash and change the settings on being charged, a little bit more annoying when it would no long send or receive PIX and TXT messages. But when the camera stopped working - I had enough and got it sorted. Still waiting for it to come back from the shop. The replacement is a bit of a laugh, it is hot pink with cute babies theme. Not really me. Oh K800i please come back to me and not have cooties. The same day I went shopping with Brair for a tiara - which we found in Pagani (I love that shop, they seem to think an outfit is not complete with out a ton of glitter, rhinestones and general sparkly bits.) And which Brair promptly after having brought it, sat on. I had already claimed said tiara and was offended that she could be so callus with my stuff (even if she brought it) Now I just need to instigate a tiara Monday and I won't feel so silly wearing it at work. I then attended Brair's birthday party which was great and took a lot of photos. I went as a slayer and Nick went as Seth Geko from Dusk til Dawn. 
Which look pretty damn good. Had a lot of fun and that. More photos on Facebook. Then the following Tuesday I went to Curry Club. Which was good, if the weather was some what shocking. I made a Saag Panneer which was pretty good and got some votes for being the best. I need to get the recipe off Roger for his dish as I think Nick would really like it. Friday night I went to work drinks and we fleshed out the details of the Christmas party. Looks like it is going to be good. Then this morning I went over to Aselle's to watch the Rugby World Cup final. Which was a boring game with no trys scored. But then finals normally are boring because the teams are evenly matched and the players are more worried about screwing up than being flashy. I think the decider was when Cherrie not knowing what biltong was - cooked it and burnt it. The blood sacrifice had been made, so South Africa had to win. Sean is still not sure winning was worth the loss of the biltong. But at the breakfast was good and I had these really nice peach and passionfruit danish. YUM.
Games
No bandwidth, no cellphone, Wii is being chipped = No games.
Wellness
Going well, with Brair leaving Aselle has roped me into making salads. Which is good as this will encourage me to have salad. And I brought a bike, now I just have to get it picked up. So *everything* going well I should hit 65kg by the Christmas party, and 60kg by Cassies wedding. Which sounds like a good excuse to buy a new dress. Hit 74kg this week so is doable. And the tennis season is approaching.
