July's update

Well I've been feeling good now, so out there enjoying life!

I went to camp training on the first weekend of July. It was great to see everyone again. Any one interested in coming to a camp, there is another training in September!!!

On the 9th, Cam, Rach, Jo and I went to a pub quiz! We went to The Deck and participated in the quiz they have there. We didn't come last!!! They had some really tough questions, plus being the only new team there, they forgot to tell us a few of the rules! They would've helped!

21-25 July we had a Secret Appreciation week at work. We have Information Services, Human Resources and Business Process (business analysts) in our group, and we have a committee of representatives, called the Ministry of Fun (MOF). We organise different activities to get people to interact with each other.
We organised this appreciation week in the lull of winter, when everyone's feeling a bit down. Anyone who wanted to participate had to fill in a form, which asked the basics, like favourite food, drink, flower, etc. We got someone not involved to draw names out of a hat. Everyone got given a form of someone (not in their immediate team), who they secretly appreciated for the week. It was so much fun, sneaking around, trying to leave presents without being seen! I got very spoilt by my person! Then at the Friday drinks, we all took a guess of who we thought had been appreciating us. I didn't guess my person right!

lack of reports

I haven't been updating much lately as I've been quite sick. After visiting the doctor a few times, they have decided......not much. I'm on the great public waiting list for some ultrasounds, which I've been told can be up to 4 months! The doctor said she isn't overly worried, so I'm trying not to be. She did tell me that I'm stressed (hence the headaches) so I need to calm down and relax.....hmmmm. I've come out of my little depression slump and am intending to be positive about things as much as possible. Onwards and upwards!

On 15 June, it was my 29th birthday. Sadly, this was a bad sick day for me. I tried to brave it, but after spending the day on the couch, a group of us went out for dinner to a new restaurant in town. I lasted about 1.5 hours and 5 bites before I headed home to bed. I left everyone as they headed to another place for dessert.
Many thanks to everyone who sent birthday wishes - I did appreciate them at the time, but had no energy or will to reply.

Camp Quality training this coming weekend - will be good to catch up with some old friends!
