Work has been busy lately. But I'm lucky in that I work at such a fun place, so there's plenty of fun times mixed in.
Most recently was our TGIF event. Once a month, on Fridays, there's a big event. Sometimes it's kid friendly and people bring in their families. Sometimes it's not so kid-friendly, like Bingo nights. But it's always fun!
This last Friday was Roller Disco. I cannot over-emphasize how excited I was for roller skating night. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it didn't disappoint. They cleared our lunch room of all the tables and chairs, and set up a DJ stand. One of the Sydney skating rinks brought in their skates, and away we went!

I managed to get three different skate sessions in. All of the hours spent skating with Holly in our childhood really paid off: it came right back to me!
A month or so ago, our team had a movie night. We booked one of our big meeting spaces with big projectors, ordered pizza, and then watched a movie after work. The movie of choice was decided after multiple rounds of voting, much debating about the quality of each person's proposed movie, and generally much excitement after we landed on Top Gun as the movie of choice.

Some people got super into it. This jacket was rented - just for the movie watching.
Our team does lots of fun things together. Because a lot of us travel quite often, another tradition has started: people bring beers back from the countries they've visited. When enough beers have accumulated, it's time for Beers Around the World night.
At the most recent Beers Around the World, there were a LOT of beers from all over: America, Austria, the Netherlands, Germany, and Italy (and maybe some others?).
Luckily, we have a few serious beer enthusiasts on our team, so they can provide good commentary on the beer. So it's actually like being at a real beer tasting. Only at work. With colleagues.
Sitting where I do on the 28th floor overlooking Darling Harbour, with the sun setting early in the winter I get to see some spectacular sunsets sometimes!
Our new office is so lovely. We had some photographers come in a couple weeks ago, and it was written up in the local news. You can see me in one of the pictures! My 15 minutes of internet fame:
