Liz call, and clubbing with coworkers

Talked to Liz earlier, until my cell phone ran out of credit--A$30 goes pretty quickly at in-country cell rates, apparently, but calling from the room is worse--A$0.80 + A$0.80/min to cell phones. Maybe we'll text-message from now on. :)

Jillian came over for a bit before going to work at Insomnia (before 11): I showered and headed out around 12. After hanging out at Insomnia, dancing a bit, wandering in and out a couple times, and sitting for a bit outside Insomnia, who [to my wondering eyes] should appear, but Damon, Miguel, Julie (a cute cafeteria employee from the embassy), and three of her friends (Jo, Michelle, another). They insisted that I join them, and off to O'Malley's we went. The music was decent, the company was good, and the dancing was fun, so I had a pretty good time--and it's the only time I've actually gone clubbing with my coworkers. :) (Also, two good things: 1) I had a drink called a Toblerone, similar to this recipe at iDrink.com--soo good! 2) Our Lady Peace - Made of Steel is a good song. Phill, I think you'd like it.)
Eventually they slowly scattered as well, so I returned to Insomnia, leaving sometime after 5am from my last night clubbing in Australia.. boo.

Today, work noon-4 or 5ish.

Long Sunday workday, longer Monday workday, stuff

Today was far too long of a workday, since "Sunday" has meant "no work" for my entire time in Australia, not to mention every Sunday since August (when I left Petsmart.) Noon to 7 or so, and then I took a little photo journey for a friend, which I'll explain later. I'm quite pleased with myself, I'll have you know. :) Tomorrow will be even longer, as we're coming in early--7 instead of 8--to show a good faith effort on getting some work done on one of the systems, apparently, and could well stay past 6pm even so. I really hope not.

Things I have to do.. try to sell my bike or get someone to take care of that for me; mail stuff to myself back home; give leftover foodstuffs to Latebra, pack my stuff, have the Coat of Arms at the Red Gecko (kangaroo and emu steaks! must try!), maybe get in a tiny bit more sightseeing (depending how much work we get done tomorrow, I might get a short/off day Tuesday, which would rock.)

But now I've been invited to Latebra for a dinner of roast chicken, so I'll make my last hamburgers and eggs some other time, as well as catch up on LJ and links--I saw some keepers while skimming back to the end of skip=30. :D (I'm also only about 10% into a 1.5hrs-at-this-rate download, which would make everything else online very, very slow.)
