Another Holiday

It feels like there is a holiday/day off every week here in OZ!  Not only did we have Good Friday and Easter Monday off, but we are also off this Friday for the Australian Memorial Day that I mentioned. A whopping three-day workweek.  No wonder I am feeling like I am not accomplishing anything!  Truthfully, I am looking forward to a regular workweek.

Though short, this week has been good.  I am starting to make some headway in my search for software engineers.  For those that don't know, a good engineer is like striking gold!  Nothing functions without them and they aren't easy to find.  I have roughly twenty engineer openings.  Color me lucky!  The good news is that I am finding them.  Not only am I finding them (the easier part of the equation), but I am also engaging them in conversation, which is the hard part of the equation.  I created a game for myself, and to win the game I need three placements in May.  Will it be easy or difficult?  Heck if I know!  For all I know, I might be playing a very small game.  I will soon find out though.

Last night I discovered another section of the city that I never knew existed.  I ventured out onto Commercial Street.  It was an easy walk from my hotel and it is dotted with shops, restaurants, and bars.  I mean the entire street!  For a Tuesday evening it was pretty busy too.  The main mistake that I made was stopping for a drink.  I only had two drinks, a LycheeTini and a Pinot Noir, but I felt like CRAP in the morning.  To make matters worse, the wine was horrible and the lychee martini was so bad that I couldn't finish half of it.  God knows who mixed it, but they shouldn't be behind a bar!  I think I will explore the street further during the daytime this weekend.  There are so many little shops and pubs that it could take the entire weekend to accomplish.  

That's all I have for today.  It is time for some much needed rest.  If my Moomy and/or BBB are reading this by chance, then please remember I LOVE YOU!
