Wednesday, 23rd August 2006 8:30am.

so i get to my new building a little too early, i'm no eager beaver, so i sit around the block on a bench sipping a large soy mocha ($2.40 - cheap!). didn't want any cow-milk this morning incase my body couldn't fight the lactose, my body only sometimes wins the lactose war.

so i count the minutes 8:39am, the large soy mocha turned out to be craphouse (too hot, too soy-milky, $2.40 - not so cheap!) but i continue drinking it giving myself something to do before i call my would-be manager to let me in.

8:45am, i call and they let me in.

all of a sudden it's 12:30, luckily oportos' just around the corner, excellent! i thought, a familiar sight!

"regular bondi meal thanks!"

*gobble*

*slurp*

what happened? i thought, that went by rather quickly...

got my log on, so i logged on,

got given lots of reading material, so i read a little.

north sydney is nice and laid back, but it'll probably drive me insane, it's so businessey with chunks of school children during lunch and nothing that really interests me.

i attempt to navigate from the station all the way out to berry st and back to walker st through a labyrinth of cafes, pharmacies, more cafes, food court, cafe, food court, cafe, florist, cafe, cafe, cafe, small food court, big food court and a mini food court next door to my building.

oportos saved my life. i'll be eating there tomorrow i reckon.

and..... they use lotus notes, it's not bad, but it's an ugly mofo.
