Work

There are all kinds of non work activities that happen at work. One of the nice things about working is the fact that all kinds of stuff goes on that has nothing to do with my job. The fabric lady for example shows up on paydays- with hand printed fabric to show and sell, she brings her kids and brother and hangs in the office.

Morning tea- maybe it is kind of work related but – the American 15 minute coffee break could learn a few things from a proper morning tea- toast, and butter and jam and avocado and peanut butter and the terrible vegemite, tea, coffee, milo (some sort of chocolate stuff) outdoors by the flower garden with anywhere form 15 to 45 people attending each morning. Bare feet and tile floors make slipping out of those confining flip flops so relaxing, the colorful cleaning lady who has the most stunning outfits and jewelry who is actual a boy (bellow on the drum)

fresh flowers by the urinal, the office cat, the fortnightly office bar- complete with mixed drinks and bartenders, songs sung by the entire staff when visitors leave. I really like the dentists office- in the same examination room there is all the normal stuff and a baby bassinet complete with a baby- the dental tec brings here new born to work and has her in the room all day, sometimes the secretary comes and holds her for a bit. Its really quite cute and practical- the baby is good, she doesn’t fuss too much. My seamstress – well you have to have one if you are going to by the fabric from the fabric lady- is a terrible flirt, I had her sow some curtains for me and she asked me about how many pillows I had on my bed, explaining that she like to have a lot and I might need to get some more and where to hang my curtains for best effect- you know color schemes and all – she almost makes me blush-
