It’s the end of another week at work. I love Fridays at Icebreaker’s HQ in Wellington, New Zealand – they’re always something to look forward to. I had to pick out a dress especially to wear this morning – we have Frock Fridays in our office; even the guys wear dresses sometimes.
A few of us are off to see a show at a comedy festival tonight. We’ve even tweeted the comedian to see if he wants to come and join us for a drink. Hope he shows. We’ve got lots of classic Kiwi party food: beer, chips, dip made from reduced cream and a packet of onion soup, cheerios (not the cereal; in New Zealand, cheerios are mini sausages) and Watties tomato sauce. All thanks to Lou, our office manager, who has just been shopping.
Some of the team went out for lunch to have a debrief on the past week – what’s hot and what’s not. Hot this week is the US marketing team, which dropped off leggings to Kate Hudson at a Vogue shoot in New York and delivered the Flight of the Conchords guys gear while they were in Portland (home of our US HQ). We all wished we were there to help out.
Ladyhawke’s playing really loud on the stereo at the moment – I think the crew are about to get up and dance. It’s nearly 2pm, so it won’t be far away. A request has just been made for Pussycat Dolls, as Swave’s off to their concert tomorrow night. Time to put on my high heels.
I’m off to the US office in a couple of weeks. I’m really looking forward to Friday arvo there; I’ve heard they match New Zealanders for partying. If they don’t, I’m sure I can help them out.
Right – it must be time for Friday drinks by now. I’m off, just in case they’ve started without me.
