T-27days 10hours

Chinese visa SORTED, the messed up money order is on the way back, I'll refund that next week.. I'm a bit cross at STA travel for not sorting this out, it has been a real headache for me to drop everything at work in order to sort out something that they could very easily have resolved themselves. They appear to be sub-contracting to a company that specialises in preparing Visas, so it is *absolutely* beyond me why one or the other could not have sorted out sending the money order or cheque.. they're certainly being paid enough!

~deep breath~

Jenny will be here in a few days, with her help I'll hopefully get a *LOT* of my outstanding stuff sorted out. On top of that, I won't have to pay for parking at work and the company will be very very very welcome. Though living by yourself has its benefits (pants are now suprisingly optional), it'll be nice having someone around for the week.

Had farewell drinks for one of my mates at work, as well my manager who is going on long service leave.. we'd spent all of yesterday and today moving buildings, so the next few weeks will be "interesting"...

Hopefully the rest of the visas will go ok, so that I can focus on getting my life sorted out before I go away.

Spain is looking soooooo awesome right now... I'm trying to convince work to get us a projector so that we can have a "virtual window" in the new office. Rolling surf on a beach in Thailand is a favourite at the moment. I'm also trying to convince them to get Segways or a flying fox for commuting between the old building and where we are now located.
