Goodness you have been busy these past two weeks. I can barely keep up! What I'm interested to know is, do you think there's very much of a difference in office cultures between NZ and its larger neighbor whose name escapes me for the moment, and the UK? So for your next blog, how about you give us the lowdown on all the serious and splendid activities, personal triumphs and farcical scenarios that befall other people (why is it always other people?!), what your desk looks like, whether you're allowed to take a new pen from the cupboard before you've finished your old one, why you're not allowed to blog at work, and how your boss takes her tea. Because it's these little pieces of corporate information that fill the only hole in the lives of itinerants such as myself.
Sam - if i was able to blog at work I might actually be able to make this blog worth you reading, but no... I've left those farcicals behind when Im not there, thank goodness... but I will try though, from popular demand, to fix something together along that subject, in time. Thank you for your continued support.
