I get off work for the weekend in about half an hour, so I'll try and throw up a blog before I head out for the weekend.
My first full week of work was interesting. I think I got a little sun stroke on the weekend spending all day Sunday in the sun with no hat or anything. I was kinda woozy and out of it for the first two days, even taking Tuesday morning off. It's weird how when you're feeling sick you get homesick. Thankfully I kicked the sun stroke, and I think the homelessness by sleeping in on Tuesday.
Work was alright this week, pretty busy at times and not so busy at others. I'm still answering phones, which is really unfortunate considering other new interns have come in since I did, and none have been stationed at the phone. It's good for laughs more than anything else though, and I'm getting the accent down a bit better. It's still weird though when people refuse to give you their name when taking a message. I had one person who I was going to transfer to Nana (the boss), but just needed a name. They wouldn't give me their name, said they'd call back and then hung up, as if they wouldn't have to do it next time.
The highlight of the week was no doubt last night though. For those of you who haven't heard Zach's stories from last summer about Nana, she's a unique character. A dominating woman who is extremely moody and to be honest kind of scary, she's not somebody I ever expected to socialize with outside of work. Well last night, for a goodbye evening for a couple interns, we all went to this popular obruni bar, and Nana was there.
Now I knew in advance she'd show, but I figured it was like stay for 30 minutes then get going. No, she stayed the whole time, three hours. She had at least three or four Smirnoff Ice's, and even better yet, hit the dance floor numerous times. She was actually encouraging us interns to drink and dance. Then she drove me home. I definitely never expected her to drive me home from a bar. All in all it was really fun though. There were a ton of people my age there, great live music, it was fun.
Not quite sure what my weekend plans are yet. Hopefully something blog-worthy happens.

KO,
Glad to hear you're enjoying yourself. Sounds like Nana took you to Bywel's which is definitely a fun place. There's an old man who gets up and sings the same song every week.
You might remember however that Bywel's was the bar I was coming out of when I got mugged. Obruni House is right around the corner. On a Thursday night, never walk away from that bar, always take a cab immediately and stay with a big group.
Don't want to be a downer. Sorry about that. Keep up the blog, its a great read.
Zach

I did put the pieces together about Bywel's and your experience, so I was conscious of that.
As for the comments, they can now be made without signing up (and therefore anonymously).
