What A Weekend!!

That was a good weekend!


Friday night we had big team meeting. Things looked good right from the start when we arrvied and there were pizzas and beer waiting. That's my sort of meeting.

After that a few people stuck around in the meeting room to discuss things a bit less business like, for example, which pub should we go to next??

Eventually this was decided on and we wandered off to the Oxidental (A belgian beer bar) for a quiet ale or 2. Certainly the proper way to end a busy Friday.

Saturday arrived and I was jumping up happily, not slightly hungover at all, to come into work to babysit some contractors.


Our basement downstairs houses all our networking equipment and is, obviously, pretty important and has to be secure. When contractors want to work on the weekend someone has to go in keep and eye on them, make sure they're not about to break things or wire up any bombs or anything. Not that I'd know what a bomb looked like. That was 5 hours of sitting in the basement fun, but the contractors guys were pretty cool.

Saturday afternoon was the work BBQ, held at Geoff's place. Geoff's place is really nice, with a swimming pool as well. Just what is needed on a hot Auckland afternoon, which is exaclty what it turned out to be. I took my camera along with lots of film, and got some pretty good photos too, which I'll post up here later (along with the Big Santa for all the people that have asked)


Everyone had a few beers, then a few more beers, and the BBQ was going until the wee hours of the morning! Certainly a great BBQ!
