Christmas party at work!

Yesterday my job had its annual Christmas party, and to just have some fun and hang out with workmates outside of shifthours I attended the party- it's like the only time per year I'm in a party which isn't a family gathering. Anyways, it was yesterday evening and despite being really tired from working a "normal" shift (7.30am-3pm instead of my now 9.30am-5pm) after working until 6pm thursday, I had a really good time.
We had an Elvis copy doing a show between the starter and the main food, and that show was great. Both funny and very high standard of the songs, so that guy was good at his job for sure!
Other than that it was a lot of joking around and making parodies of everything and it made everyone laugh out loud many times through the night.
I left the party quite early though. I was just too sleepy after the long day and getting up at 5.30am after working until 6pm the day before and falling asleep sometime around midnight so it was a long day indeed. Along with that, there was only one bus per hour from anywhere near my job and it wasn't too tempting to walk about 2km to a train station on a friday evening when many companies have their Christmas party, so at 10.30pm I took the bus and after a couple of transfers between transports I got home at 11.15pm and fell asleep shortly after midnight. Woke up at 10am this morning and still pretty tired, but I had not expected to not be tired this weekend.

But one thing is for sure about last night: The word "Financial Crisis" doesn't exist in my workplace!

Christmas preparations

Today I've been over to Malmö to do some Christmas shopping, and find a dress to wear at the Christmas party at work on friday. I found a couple of presents today, and I did find a dress. I found a red dress in a light and silky material and it's reaching to the knees so it's not too short. But I do have a feeling my workmates will be shocked when they see me wearing it. None of them have seen me in a dress before, except for the workmates who have seen the wedding pictures.

In the past couple of days I've been doing some rather drastic changes in my restaurant in Restaurant City. I now have a winter theme in the restaurant, and it's quite a bit of Christmas decorations now. RC is going to release more Christmas decorations soon so I've saved quite a bit of space in my restaurant for that. And after Christmas I can still keep my restaurant the way it is now and just have the typical Christmas items put into storage. There's not much Christmas about snowmen and non decorated Christmas trees with some snow on. But Santa and such has to go into hiding after Christmas again.
I still haven't unlocked all the Christmas dishes, or the dishes Gourmet King can give you if a friend has found him. I've found him twice, but haven't seen or heard about any of my Facebook friends finding him. It is however true that not many of my Facebook friends who play Restaurant City are very active players. Only very few I know play it quite seriously while most of my friends are still below level 20. I hope when some friend DO find him that they'll let me know about it.

Had a long msn chat with a friend from Singapore yesterday afternoon. It was a lot of fun and both of us are RC players, and he has to be the friend I have who knows the most about RC. Really nice to exchange experiences and help eachother out. But I do find it very facinating that my friend has never experienced winter and snow! Like wow, never seen snow! I've seen enough snow to last for a lifetime and pretty much wish I could just do like the birds in autumn- move south for the winter and come back in spring!

Well to make a long post less long, I'd better round it up now and head to bed.
So nights, and I'll update again through the week.
