Meeting Room with a view
How many people believe in "signs"? I don't really. No signs to look out for.
Except if today was anything to go by, I think there were some mighty big signs...

Originally, there was a lunch schedule with a few friends (yes you know who you's are... :) and due to the fact some were late *cough*Aja*cough* I had to stick around in the office a lil while longer. Suppose that isn't too bad, but when some people are starving and can't wait.. it's really not good for you. Anyhow, around the time that they were all suppose to arrive for lunch, my manager receives a call from another manager in another department, saying they had a few tickets spare to Bridge Climb that was to start in 45minutes. So he goes around the office asking who would want to go climb... and everyone seem to turn him down. I had to think long and hard on that one (really, I did! :) and of course, who is stupid enough to turn down a free offer to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge? I think my workmates were filled with glee inside that they could get rid of our manager for the rest of the day, and were all pushing for him to go. And yes, me and him were the only ones that went, even though there were 2 tickets to spare. This meant that I was to miss out on lunch, which ended up being no lunch and dinner til 14 hours after I had breakfast. This was very noticable in the lack of energy whilst walking up those arches on an empty stomach. Not that I'm complaining.

The weather today was perfect for the Bridge Climb. Compared to the last few days of chilly winds, today was only a good 9 degrees wind chill at the top, and perfectly sunny, with a few clouds. Damn good photo opps too. The view was magnificent, better than a postcard you could buy in a shop. I'd highly recommend to anyone who is interested in walking it, although its around $160-180pp. I, however, probably wouldn't have done it for the sake of doing it... :)

Now to go back to work on Monday and wonder what I should fill in my timesheet for the 4 hours I was gone. "Meeting" perhaps. Afterall, the photo we ended up with had our company logo plastered along the bottom with another global phone manufacturer's logo... No blatant corporate branding there.

Now if some people hadn't been late or if I had left the office by then, I guess I would have missed this once in a lifetime opportunity. Or not. Show me the way.
