I had a good day. I spent an hour in the office helping one of the techs finish a report and then myself and the other two project managers took a drive to North Battleford to check out the site where we may have our Christmas Party.

The first year I worked for this company we were a small office (just 3 of us) and we were invited to Calgary's party which happened to be at a beautiful resort out in the mountains. It was pretty much one of the best weekends ever and, as I told my boss today, "It covered a multitude of sins." A free flight and rental car and hotel room and fancy dinner in a beautiful mountain town really help a person get over those extra weekends she had to work all of October and November for instance. Anyway, since then we've been crap at putting together a Christmas party. Last year we went out for a nice dinner (in February because we couldn't get our act together in December) and then everyone went home after. Boring. So this year we decided to start our planning early and have found a fantastic hotel and caterer and afternoon winter adventure centre to keep us entertained. I'm really looking forward to helping plan it. The techs are going to be so surprised!

Anyway, so I got to skip out of the office pretty much as soon as we got back for my final physiotherapy session. I've been officially discharged. Hooray! And since I got back on a horse two weekends ago, I think I have conquered the injury.

Then I went downtown to buy a ticket to a seminar with Jane Goodall (and killed an hour at the mall while waiting and found a perfectly fitting pair of pants). Jane's wicked cool. I am glad I went. She arrived in Tanzania for the first time to spend a year alone in the jungle with the chimpanzees when she was 26. She is officially my hero. I'm sure she didn't know what her life would come to. She was just doing something she'd wanted to ever since she was 4 and snuck off to hide under the straw in the hen house to find out where the eggs come from (none of the adults would give her a satisfactory answer). I want to find something that I can be that passionate about. I need my own jungle.
