Bon Voyage

Two of my friends have left Australian shores to pursue their career in UAE... I remember the first time I saw her, she walked through the office with such purpose and wearing such a beautiful outfit I thought no one that pretty could possibly be nice, when I first saw him sit at the desk next to mine I wondered if they were together, too very attractive people in such close proximity that appear to get along must.

Over the last year D & AC have become very near and dear to me, we have had many dinner parties, cocktails and champagne that should lead us into AA and I've met some wonderful people through them.

My office feels empty without them and there is a huge void. Bon Voyage and I hope to see you soon in Dubai.

Next Meeting

During a meeting how can I subtly count how many time someone says 'shit'. I find it highly unprofessional and I can't help it flinch each time 'all this shit' and 'it's a shit load of work 'is mentioned. I quiver with embarrassment and need to distract myself with thoughts of this is really tally worthy - now why don't any of my colleagues say anything about this behaviour? Is it now seen as acceptable for a woman to speak this way in order to be accepted by the boys, not in my book and it never will be.
