Stockmen and Southerners

What a weekend…. totally different to how i expected it…

It started on friday. It was going to be a special day because the ladies from NSW Holidays in Sydney were coming up for the weekend. Not only were they coming up to meet everyone they were going to work with us and finally become a part of the group and meet everyone. It was good to finally meet the ladies that i’ve spoken with so much and worked with for a while now (well 3 months). It was good to finally put faces to names and voices. Finally getting to meet Megan was good because in my opinion we clicked pretty well considering never known each other but to have someone your familiar with to be emailing or talking to before you meet everyone else helps to break the tension a bit. But sadly Friday i had to work lates so while they were partying at Tin Billys (the pub near work) i was processing faxes and sitting on the consumer line.

Saturday I picked Janice up nice and early and took her down the coast to Movieworld and a weekend away of some freebies! So we enjoyed some free Movieworld entry, checked into our hotel and had a relaxing afternoon. However last night was a great night. I was lucky enough to recieve tickets to the Australian Outback Spectacular’s opening night. It was a fantastic night, i’ve never really been into Country music but last night was good. Lee Kernaghan was there for the after party along with heaps of other celebrities. It was definately a good experience. Free or not i would of enjoyed it regardless.

Today after coming back from the coast I went to a work BBQ in the city at Captain Burke Park. Most people only came with their families. I went to spend some time with the sydney ladies out of work and get to know them. I have to admit they seem like lovely ladies. All very friendly and great to talk to. It was a great chance to see them out of work and get to talk to them about reality not about work. It was funny watching them realise the discounts they can get up in Cairns. I was telling them about discounts in Cairns and how Hot Air Ballooning cost like $25 for the insurance, and i said to Megan “I told you about that one” and she said “I thought you were lying.” Seeing them realise how good it was to have the whole merger for everyone was great.

I no longer feel like there is an us and them between myself and the guys in Sydney and i hope they feel the same. I finished the weekend off by dropping Angie, Megan and her boyfriend off at the Airport. Not a bad weekend i guess. Now for hopefully a good week ahead….

Hrm im a bit hungry… maybe i’ll have some popcorn… better go look in the car for that then…
