happy end of financial year!

GOODBYE FY 10, HELLO FY11! This year will be full of work, uni and hopefully a payrise!

Today, the weather in Manildra was bearable. I found it strange that it's significantly colder (2 degrees) in Orange, which is just an hours drive away.  That's right. I'm living an hour away from where I'm working because the town in which I am working in, is too small and no hotel/motel/anyother store except 1 tuckshop exists on the mainroad, or any road in that town.

I'm not sure if that's the right syntax, but I am beyond caring right now.

Tomorrow will be a long day and I will NOT be looking forward to it.

WHT:
Got up, ate breakfast in my room (opted not to go to buffet- regretted that decision), spilt water on myself. I dried myself using the hair dryer but it made me late to the car where S and J were waiting so :/ oops.  But I'm glad I got that dry because you have no idea how easily things turn into ice out here in the country.

The grass starts frosting over at 9pm and when you walk on sections of lawn you can feel the crushing of ice beneath your feet.

I must admit, I am enjoying this country experience. In Manildra, everyone knows each other and is really super friendly to people who aren't local (i.e. ME!).  On several occassions there'd be people walking past me on the street when I cross the road- they all say hi, g'day, how're ya mate, and all those equivalent. It's so different from Sydney.

Dumdidum, after getting most of my work done (which means being annoying and pestering AP/ AR staff to get lots of paperwork), I was sent back to Orange (45 min drive) to count pallets of stock in a warehouse.  After 30 mins in Orange, I had finished counting, and then I was sent back to Manildra.

When I got back into the office I said hi to S and J, and they promptly began packing up when I started to set up my laptop.

lol.

[[Urban outfitters having massive sale- $10 for an item of clothing- What the eff I just looked at it again and there is cheaper stuff than that. omg buying tights online is so much cheaper than buying from Woolies ]]

We had dinner at a woodfire pizza restaurant, but funnily enough, no one ordered a pizza.  There was a seafood marinara, a fettucine bolognaise and ... a ca... ca-something. Will look it up later when I blog about Orange properly next time.

I think Orange is a good place to go for a short trip or holiday. It's really nice.  Would be a better experience if you came during spring. :)

But yes. Tomorrow. 7am start at work which means I have to get up 5.30. Excellent. Within 6 hours from now D:
