The hills are alive with the sound of cash registers...
Well, that was a profitable afternoon. In a completely spending money kind of way. *grins*
To clarify - I got out of work early today, 3pm to be exact, because it's been quiet and the managers are garnering staff goodwill by being nice to us. All sorts of nifty treats. 3pm finish one day this week, two hour lunch break sometime next week (need to pick a day soon, can't be Monday or Tuesday...), casual clothes from now until NYE, brekkie for those of us working NYE (which will be me)... And the Kris Kringle/Secret Santa tomorrow, which I got around to purchasing my gift for at lunch today.
Any way, yeah, finished work early. Went Christmas gift shopping. Got my brother and mother's gifts, already have one thing for Dad (need to get the other half next week) and racking my brains trying to think of something for the grandparents, who are getting impossible to buy for. Mum, Dad, Lea? Any hints?
I also got my train ticket home - the 5.10pm train Christmas Eve (which means I'll get in between 8.30 and 8.45), coming back to Melbourne on the Tuesday afternoon. Yes, we got public holidays in lieu, yay!
Combined with making my medical appointment, I've gotten quite a lot done today. Might continue the streak and write up that police record application form. Addresses for the last ten years, oy...
I also caught up with Wondermouse and Craig (another karate buddy) for lunch, which was really good. And yes, we must get to this Japanese place of Craig's first week of January... ;)
