A place for my random thoughts, anecdotes and reflections of what I see and experience in this lifetime.

Sublimally gassed

There's an awkward smell in the office here, that a workmate has pointed out this morning. Luckily I can't smell it in my 3-walled cubicle, however when I need to trot off to the printer the odour increases.

It apparently smells like a Korean BBQ, whatever that smells like. Almost like someone is gassing our part of the office, so we're all inhaling this substance/odour which could be fatal.

I don't think you can get rid of me that easily :D

As for those who thought of other potential office smells, shame on you!

Not sure of a Korean BBQ, but oh boy do I want a juicy steak....

It's all good.....

I didn't get food poisoning from the FIGS Iron Chef cook-off on the weekend.

I was actually quite impressed with the ability of all participants. Well done to everyone. I didn't think that toffee would become a dessert must-have on the night, despite the presence of a full block of chocolate. I was looking forward very much to having chocolate mousse for dessert though :P

Went to a Seventh-Day Adventist wedding ceremony yesterday in Ipswich. Quite different, in that the bride walked down the aisle to the Queensland Youth Choir, and the sister-in-law sang "Somewhere over the Rainbow" as a musical item.

The absolute highlight though of the ceremony, was when the celebrant began the ceremony by saying in a loud voice just one word......... "Marriage". He said it right, but someone else sitting beside me muttered it in another tone which made it difficult for me to muffle my laughter.

Twoo-Wuv eh?

Life on the M side


After a wonderful and windy wedding day, followed by an equally fantastic 2 week honeymoon, am finally settling into life as a Mrs.

On coming back, was bombarded with news and issues: one bridesmaid gets engaged,(that's not an issue), Warren's youngest brother is engaged,(again, not an issue) 2 members of staff at work have finished up, 2 new people have replaced them, workmates demand wedding photos, I forget my login password on my workstation, have to start writing thank-you letters, given an urgent job with a week turnaround, realising I should be using the initial JKW, not JKM on my workpapers, finding my old business cards have been placed in pot plants and other people's business card holders around my part of the office, etc..

You know, life isn't that different on the M side, really, apart from having someone stealing the blankets and doona during the night :)
