...Then wind


It seems like the weather has something new to offer everyday here. And most of my blog entries have centered around the drive I have to make to work and back. It's not too bad if the drivers on the road are all behaving. It's when you have impatient drivers that zig zag in and out that makes things more stressful. It's a whole lot of chain reaction 'brake'ing and with the huge trucks on the roads too, it's so easy to get involved in a hit. Today the winds are really strong. And so on the way from work I kept feeling my car getting blown to the side everytime there was a gust of wind. It's so annoying coz you have to be really alert and not let the car just do what it wants to do. If there were no other cars on the road, I think it'd be perfectly acceptable to just let your car get blown to the next lane! haha!

Work has been relaxing. Can you believe it? The drive is stressful and the work relaxing. Most people here stick to the 9 hour work day. And so if you get in at 6am, you can leave at 3pm. If you come in at 9am, you leave at 6pm. I really like that. You actually work the time that you're there. In my last workplace, everyone takes a break at 10am, then an hour for lunch, then tea at 4pm. With all the breaks in between, it's no wonder people don't leave the office till close to 7 or 8pm. And overtime is the norm isn't it? I like the fact that my work days can end at 5pm. Then I can come home and actually spend the time cooking dinner and hanging out with hubby. For that I am grateful.

Speaking of which, I'd better get going and get the stove burning. hehe.. Hopefully we can have a nice dinner and oh, maybe watch Grey's Anatomy? woot! woot!
