I love the place where I work....

Have I ever mentioned how much I love the area where I work??

My office is in the same area as the Organisational Development Unit (OD) and they hold staff training workshops on this floor all the time. Most of the workshops are uncatered for but occasionally we get ones that they cater food for and whenever there are those workshops, there's always bound to be leftovers. There's a meeting room here that gets booked for use all the time too, and sometimes those meeting are held over lunch, so lunch is catered for. Hehe.. when there is catering, there is leftovers... So we basically get free food all the time. (I should mention the bikkies tin too.. but it's only Arnotts Bikkies, the standard workplace fare)

Today they had like two huge leftover platters of food from one the events that the OD organised. It was the Vice Chancellors Awards for Excellence. Everyone was too busy taking photos with the Vice-Chancellor after the ceremony and forgot all about the food. So where does it end up? Right here in our office tea room.

I love my workplace. I may not always like the work that I have to do/am doing. But I love my office.

ps. Have been busy lately that I haven't blogged much. Three more weeks til our office shuts down for the year, so hopefully I'll have more time to catch up with blogging. :)

Room for some Puffy

After lunch at the fish market, we made a pitt stop at Haymarket for some shopping and then walked back to the apartment via World Square, the home of Puffy

I first learnt about puffy from Helen's blog Grab Your Fork. Helen received a tip that there was something new in town and went a head to sample it. Being the tourist that I am, I didn't realise that I was in the vicinity of the shop when we walked into World Square. Whilst the boys were checking out mobile phones at the 3 store I followed my nose as I smelt something baking! I went in the direction of the delicious smell, disregarding whatever shops that I was passing and lo and behold.. there it was.. Puffy!

In her review, Helen said that Puffy was not that spectacular compared to Beard Papa's. Having not tasted Beard Papa's before I agreed. Maybe I was too quick to agree, but the crumbly texture of the topping didn't really appeal to me, it was quite sweet and the custard was really cold! Samps bought 3, one for each of us to sample, he thought it was ok.. nothing special and Alv didn't like it at all! (Guess who got the left over puffy?)

So Beard Papa's, hurry up and come to Melbourne. I want to have something to compare it with.
