lots of box packing and desk clearing today at work as we prepared to move to a different floor in the current building.

i had a meeting across town in Newmarket which i decided was as quick to walk to as getting public transport.  it took me through a couple of parks and past the auckland museum which was good.  the meeting was ok too.  then it was back to the office for some more packing.  at 3ish we all headed off to a local bar for an afternoon lunch.  i deliberately drove to avoid drinking, but my team aren’t huge drinkers anyway, so it made for a nice afternoon

the saddest thing is danh and gavin (above) who have worked together for over 20 years doing complimentary jobs are going their separate ways with Gavin going to Telecom and Danh to Chorus after separation.

jane meanwhile had a surprise last minute dentist appointment (just a routine cleaning thing but sounds like it lasted ages)
