the countdown has begun...

and so we stand with only 3 days left working at Cubana, then a weekend to prepare for my new job on Monday.

although the last few nights have not gone without a few adventures...
the start of was Saturday night (well more like Sunday morning) it started off at work at midnight when we surprised my college with cake and champagne as it was now officially his birthday. the rest of the night was spent chilling out at work with a few glasses of champagne and followed by a few more drinks as the boss had gone home and the night had been quiet thanks to the wind and rain outside.

after work we were all still in a birthday party mood so we headed off to Monte Casino (just down the road with a 24 hour bar...)
after a drink or two we decided to head into the casino to look around. we bumped into a few other staff from work and ended up in the middle of the slot machines talking and drinking tequila. whilst sitting there i looked at the random slot machine next to me and decided to have a go, now i have never played on a slot machine before and even though i had a small idea of what i was doing i fumbled around pushing lit up buttons until the next time i looked i was up to R75... bonus i cashed out a bought a round of tequilas.

Jacques and Roanne at this point (which may i point out was 6:15am decided they were in the mood for breakfast and headed off to find food, i hung around a bit with the others to finish off my beer and than at about 6:30 we headed out as well. I dropped them off on my way home and squinting into the sun over the horizon made my was home.

now Sunday night is another story, a story that will continue tonight...

on the whole it was a good night (well morning) but i do look forward to getting into normal working hours with my new job...

is "R" the symbol for your currency? Odd. How much is R75 worth in pounds or dollars?
