My Monday blues are over. The day passed so quickly without me realizing it. I spent the better part of the morning uprooting from the room I have been occupying for a month, to another place where I had problems accessing the network drive, then back to my old room, then to another workstation whose occupant is on leave for one week. Two hours was wasted just like that.
It was the Senior VP M's birthday and she treated us all to "pub grub" at Stumps at The Cricket Club. It was quite a nice and atas place, full of seemingly leisurely men lounging around. Lucky M who was on leave that day had countless glasses of frozen magaritas while the rest of us who had to go back to work could only look on enviously while sipping our juices. We shared casear salad for starters, and the table of 12 women all ordered beer battered fish & chips, except for one who ordered chicken. The portion of it was HUGE and the fish was very fresh, though it was nothing to rave about. I feel that Fish & Co's fish and chips are undisputedly the best I have ever tasted. That being said, there are many other restaurants I have not tried, Greenwood Fish market & bistro being one of which, thus I shall reserve my comments.
Then came desserts. M was very generous, and ordered one of everything. Everyone was very full by then, and I was one of the few who gamely went for more. Three hours was gone by the time we headed back to office. A very satisfying lunch indeed.
The rest of the afternoon passed in a whirl and I was kept so busy that by the time I left work, I was very stoned. And so the cycle continues...
