Last time I blogged about food Drew complained that it wasn’t fair for me to talk about food. Tonight I feel no guilt. A bunch of my co-workers and I went out for all you can eat sushi tonight. Since Drew isn’t a fan of sushi and sashimi will never pass through his lips I know he won’t complain about missing out this time. <\/p>\n
It was interesting for all of us to get together with our spouses and significant others – I was the only one there without a partner in attendance – and not talk about work. It seems an unwritten rule that weekend gatherings are work-free zones. <\/p>\n
Many of us have worked outside of the country. Dr D had a stint in Australia. M lived and worked in Dubai. C worked in Korea and frequently vacationed in his wife’s homeland, the Phillipines. And of course, I worked in India and the Phillipines. It’s interesting hearing everyone’s stories of their temporary foreign homes. <\/p>\n
The best part of the evening was meeting R’s husband WD40. We talk spouses in the office all the time so it’s nice to put a face to all the stories. And WD40 is a hoot! It’s a relief knowing that 1) the stories are likely ALL true and 2) the object of the stories lives up to their reputation.<\/p>\n
R makes a great designated driver – although I apparently need to work on refining my driving direction skills. Oh, and I suppose it would help if I turned on my cell phone when I’m expecting a ride in case the driver gets lost due to my poor directions. All worked out in the end. <\/p>\n
Had a blast this evening. Now, back to reading articles for my classes and prepping my assignment answers. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
