Just a quick update . . . seems all I've been doing is working. Work, work, work. That's one thing that never changes. Except the scheduling here is absolute crap. They shortshift you like crazy and it's perfectly acceptable with the union. Just one more thing to add to the list of things that I don't like about Australian nursing. Can you believe their pharmacy is only open M-F from 9-5. Meds don't even come in blisterpacks. You basically search through this huge vat of medication boxes to find the one med that you need. It's sooo time-consuming . . . gotta stop ranting. Must go to beach and remember the good things about being here.

Have checked out the club scene and it is definitely better than Calgary. However, some bars stay open 24 hours. Who knew!? I didn't get home til 800am one morning. It's crazy. Expensive too. I paid $18.00 for a double vodka soda. EVERYTHING in Sydney is expensive though. I'm doing a harbor pub crawl this weekend where you get onboard a boat and they take you into different pubs around the harbour. Should be an expensive night! The guys here are absolutely crazy. They haven't got a clue about personal space and try to drape themselves all over you upon meeting them and talking with them for 3-5 minutes. I don't think so buddy. I suppose they're not ALL like that though.

Anyway, booked a trip to Fiji. Will be leaving Feb 16 for 7 days. Think Val from work is finally coming as well! Yay! A friend from home. Will update when I can. I'm off to spin class.
