Strawberry Picking

Just came home after a full-day of healthy and wholesome activity - strawberry picking and cooking/eating with a group of friends. The field was pretty far from the city itself, luckily we had a few drivers amongst us generously offering rides to those of us without wheels. (side note: I really miss having a car now!)

Other than strawberries, there were other fruits and veggies to be picked. Of course, I picked a basket full of strawberries (even though I don't really eat strawberries).. and later at night I went to a friend's place to make smoothies. (read: a friend that owns a blender)

Fruity-goodness for two days!

Corporate Events

One benefit of working for a large corporation is their lack of cost management when it comes to finer details. Perhaps the amount is not substantial enough (perspective: them) for them to warrant additional costs to maintain. I say, carpe diem, and take advantage of what's been offered.

So that was the attitude I had when I took on the job of being a "buddy" for the new summer interns at work. Supposedly I'm their mentor, and a familiar face for them to ask questions about the firm. One of the perks that comes with the job is the availability of intern activities - where the company picks up the tab. Tonight I went to the welcome drinks reception, held in the Docklands Museum near work. Try to act professional after a few glasses of white wine..
