A day in my life: 20th June 2008

Below is a copy and paste of an entry I wrote to a livejournal community, a day in my life, in 2008 when I was living in New Zealand. I've been looking for it for a while and was over the moon to find it! So I'm reposting it here on 16/7/12. Such sweet memories (and embarassing writing!)

Good morning!







I'm rudely awaken by the alarm going off way too early for my liking! Adam gets out of bed and into the shower, and I eventually get out of bed and start to get ready for work too.

After I've brushed my teeth, we're both ready so it's time to head off. I always walk to work, even though it takes the best part of 45-50 minutes. It's a nice walk though, and for the first half hour I'm walking with Adam which is lovely! ♥ We get to bitch about our housemates with no fear of being heard, lol!



The Auckland skyline





Bye Adam!





Normally I can resist the sirens call that is Starbucks; lulling me into a false sense of security and drawing me in, before sending me crashing on the rocks of weight gain, addiction and an empty purse...



But not today! Probably because I didn't have breakfast. I get a hot chocolate, and then head off to an internet cafe (I don't have internet in my house, so whenever I come online I had to go to an internet cafe!)





I chat to my mum and dad and sister on MSN for a while, and do all the facebook/LJ stuff (you can see a photo of ! Hehe!), and I write my letter of resignation and send it off to the agency I'm working for.

Time check:



Uh-oh! Best get to work!



I work as a debt collector, and today we were having a "Movie Day"! Basically, people dressed up themselves and their workstations in the theme of a film or a TV programme. Here's ours:









Can anyone guess what TV show we were doing?!
Here's what other teams did:











I get an email from my travel agent, so on my lunch break I quickly eat my lunch and then I go and pick up our tickets for our holiday.



Back to work








Time check:



After work, I get changed and Adam meets me outside. We walk across the road from my work to the harbour, and we're going on a Christmas cruise!









Boys are disgusting. He knew I was taking a picture of him, but burped anyway







There were a lot of older people there, and the DJ was playing mostly cheesy party tunes, which I love!





After the party, we jumped straight into a taxi, and straight back home.



It was quite late by the time we got home, and Adam had to be up at 7:30 to go to work!



Night!
