White Xmas ...

Am on a jet plane in a few hrs... a fortnight of bumps, bruises and hopefully no broken bones *fingers crossed!*

Mel > Sydney> Narita> Tokyo (by train) > Nagano (by bullet train)> Shiga Kogen (by bus) -

And on Xmas Day, I will be on the ski slopes *wheeeeee*

All work makes Jill a dull girl..

I have all these things that is playing in my mind and I do want to put it down on paper ..or on the blog but I am in want of time. It is now 10:32pm and I am still working. Yes, I might not be at the client site but I am still replying to my many numerous email correspondences that all seem to need attention like ASAP. I have been away from home for the past few weeks barr the weekends and boy aren't I glad that this is the last working week before the office shut down for the yr.

We are at the last yr to this decade *gasp!*

I am also very much looking fwd to our trip to Japan next week.. its a pure snowboarding trip, we are not spending any time in Tokyo at all, just a quick arrival into Narita, catch the train to Tokyo station and then catch the bullet train to Nagano. Then catch the bus to Shiga Kogen for 10 glorious days *whoo hoo*. Which reminds me, I need to get travel insurance.

I have my yr end performance review this Thursday. Will be interesting to see how they rate me this time around. I did very well last quarter but whose to say how they rate each person? We'll soon find out wont we?

Lots of gettogethers and parties this weekend - this Thursday is the office Kris Kringle and Xmas party, Friday is the company Xmas party and then on Sunday a mate is having a spit-roast party which he has already said will turn into a sleep-over *yay*

Ok, break finished. Back to work emails - 3 days more to go... *ohm*

ZZZzzzz

Its 3:43 am and I am still awake.

Sigh.

Happy Birthday to me!

It's my birthday

and I'll laugh if I want to

Laugh if I want to, laugh if I want to

You would laugh too

if it happened to

sung to Lesley Gore "It's My Party"

Another year older ... another yr wiser?

This yr has been one of the best by far.

Plenty to be thankful for, plenty to be happy about.
