Our door won!

ByFutureCat

Another Christmas function today (almost the last one for the year) – this one for the College of Arts office staff, which they invited our office to, seeing as they share a corridor with us.  As well as a pot-luck lunch, the big event was the announcing of the winners of the Christmas door decorations competition.  And CEISMIC won the Supreme Award!

We have our trophy proudly displayed on the shelf next to our Open Source award – there was much joking that we’re going to have to get a trophy cabinet built for all the awards we’re winning 🙂

It was the boys’ turn to claim their Christmas adventure today, so Dad offered to drive us up to Queenstown.  Queenstown is *the* place to be for New Year’s, so the town was totally packed (yeah, probably should have thought of that before we picked today to go up there…), and we had to queue…

ell, I managed to get through yesterday and even made it to the party in the evening (which was a lot of fun – it featured giant jenga on the lawn, and a poetry recitation by the boss), but I’m paying for it today – I don’t feel all that unwell, but I’m exhausted, in…

Having been unsuccessful at figuring out which wire to wiggle to get my second hard drive working again, I gave in and paid a professional to look at it.  And it turns out that the reason my wire-wiggling wasn’t working this time was because the hard drive had entirely failed.  So, unless I want to…
