A day of change!

Well today is a day of big change. This is Paul's last day working for the Brisbane City Council - and it has been a long time coming. On Monday he starts working for the Brisbane Airport Corporation as an environmental coordinator. Hopefully the new job is a lot more interesting than the council job turned out to me (don't you love it when your job evolves into something that is nothing like your job description!). Apparently it will involve a bit of practical work as well as the necessary project management, paper shuffling type of work.

So ... there will be no more lunches in the gardens. No more lunch time coffees. No more lunch time shopping trips. No more meeting up after work to go and do something. Stink wan! Apart from when we lived in completely different cities and countries, Paul and I have always worked in pretty close vacinity to each other! However if Paul's gets to do a more interesting job then it shall be worth it :-)

So tonight we're off to the leagues club around the corner for a few drinks to celebrate. Because it was Paul's birthday this month, if we're at the club at 7:30pm then he goes in the draw to win $1000 - wouldn't that be nice aye :-) Paul's mate from St Johns, Andrew, is also joining us so it shall be nice to have some company.

Then on Saturday we're off to Bribie Island with Debz, Lance and the kids for Lance's birthday. I'm looking forward to that as not only do I get to see somewhere else in Brisbane that I haven't seen before, but I also get to spend some more time with Debz - yay :-) Oh yeah - and we get to see their new house for the first time (I saw the pics on facebook Debz - very nice :-) )

Sunday we are going for a walk up Mt Cootha as a bit of training for world youth day next month. We were meant to do the walk about a month ago but it ended up raining :-(

Right - better do some work now. My work mate just arrived and every time he has arrived this week he has caught me on the internet - doh!

Hope you all have a great weekend!!
