Em, Hanya, Nicola, and Liz
Katie, me, Kerry, Dena, and Mhairi
Dena is taking a four month leave of absence from work to travel overseas. They always say that here, that they're going overseas - that doesn't distinguish between Europe, Asia, or the U.S. - it's just that everything is overseas from Australia. She's headed first to the U.S. (a rarity among Australians), then onto Europe. Her tentative plan is to return to URS when she finishes travelling, but she will be sorely missed while she is gone. Friday was also Liz's last day, who is starting a new job at the Port of Melbourne Monday morning. Lot's of fluidity around here! We went to Jasmine, a Thai restaurant in Southbank for a celebratory girls dinner following Friday Night Drinks. Katie is becoming quite a regular around the office with Friday being her third night of drinks. She nearly started a fire in her mouth after she mixed ALL the hot chili pepper into her pad thai but being the brave trooper she is, she managed to fork it down.
