checking in

hello.
just checking back in.
i know my posts are getting fewer by the day but i promise it's not intentional.
i really want to keep my dedicated readers (the little handful of you special people!) up to date but it feels like there aren't enough hours in the day lately. i know i get disappointed when my favourite blogs have had no new posts for days on end. they must have better things on than being indoors in front of a laptop! so what have i been up to? well... thursday was possibly the most important day that i have had at work since being with virgin. it was the day we relaunched our frequent flyer program velocity, which is the department i work in. i won't go into too much detail, it's all very exciting to me but possibly not to everyone else! it's what has kept us working so much of late (we couldn't tell anyone of course!) and it's what we have been building up to for what feels like forever now. certainly a career highlight for me.
that night our beautiful and talented team headed out for a drink to celebrate. i think four of us (including myself) ended up leaving our cars there overnight as the first champagne led to another and then another! it was so much fun and we laughed our way through the entire night. i ended up somehow telling everyone numerous stories about googa, our one month long year 10 camp, in particular all about my opp shop knitted jumpers! i love our team so much, i've been so blessed with great people at both myer and virgin.
on friday night we had a drink to farewell dougal who is leaving our team and moving out to the airport for his next rotation with the graduate program. it was nice and quiet after our effort on thursday night and luckily there were no tears from me! we'll see him lots though, and he's coming to the launch party we are having next week. it will be help at cloudland and the theme is platinum (our new highest tier in velocity!). i bought my dress and accessories today and i am officially excited for the official event!
as for today, matt and i spent it together. we had a sleep in and woke up to the rain, then headed off for coffee and breakfast at a new cafe that i have been wanting to try. the afternoon was all about shopping, a shirt for matt and dress for me. matt and i had spilt up and we met back at the newsagency. he waited outside while i popped in to buy the new frankie. i also bought a crossword puzzle scratchie, only to walk out and find matt scratching the exact same one! i won and he didn't! tonight i watched the rugby while matt was actually at it (in a corporate box, the one next to the wallaby coach!) and now i am about to head in to town to pick him up. noosa tomorrow, i don't want the weekend to be over!
anyway i hope you enjoyed the quick update!
goodnight lovelies!
