Last night we had an office outing. Being my American self I had made up my mind that I was not going, mixing work and life is a bad idea in my mind. At the last minute a friend called and said she was going and was bored and asked if I wanted a ride- she said her husband couldn't make it. I decided it's better to go out and be social- I really had nothing to do and I don't have an overwhelming number of friends here.
The outing was to Ponderosa- that's right PONDEROSA. Now, I have never actually been to a Ponderosa in America, probably because most people I know aren't actually huge fans of buffets. It was really not the best experience I have ever had. My friend and I were quite disappointed and I think that I have made a new rule for myself in this country. If it's available in America and I avoid it, then if it's available here I should also avoid it.
Now, meet my office-mates, we are an interesting mix. Not everyone was there but, this is a quick snapshot of most of us!
This is Fazilla and she works in the Special Projects Office with Jessie.
Roshna, she plans a ton of lunch parties in our office and works in the Quality Department. This is not her baby! It's Joseph's and here he is:
Here I am getting vanilla fro-yo with rainbow sprinkles- definitely the only reason to eat there.
Lissama, she is a nurse at the hospital, Gillian and Surrama are Home Visitation Nurses.
Jarrett works in Marketing with me. Jarrett and his wife Elizabeth were living on the North Shore before they moved here, it's a fun connection to have!
Dr. Koshi and his wife.
