It was my first day at work in Business Objects today... I had checked the online map yesterday and roughly know how to get to Miller Street but the biggest problem was..... how to get out of hotel.. HAHAHAH
I woke up early in the morning and took a bath in the cold... Sydney's having its winter now and its about 16-18 Degress Celsius outside... hahah and remember, my hotel room heater is faulty? hehehe
I took a hot water bath and wore my suit to work... Went downstairs and walked out of the main door... Hmmm... how do I get to the streets without having to walk down the slop? Went back into the hotel again and took the lift down to basement... Oops... basement is just the underground carpark.. I still can't get to the streets.. At this time, a caucasian guy came in to the lift at basement and I think I look quite lost.. hahah he started asking if I was lost... I said that I'm trying to get to Miller Street and he offered to bring me there cause he's going that direction as well... I was delighted..
He took me to Level 1 and instead of walking to the main door, he turned left and walked the other way... As a caucasian, he's tall... and walks super fast also... I had to like be in a half running mode to try to catch up with him. So... what I had to do is to walk to the back of the hotel and there was a door which led to a short flight of stairs to the streets.. Yeh!!! So I walked to Miller Street as per what I remembered from the map...
As I walked and walked, I still couldn't find the unit I was looking for... :( There were some shops under renovation but I don't think that's what I'm looking for... I walked to the next junction and started asking around... I asked some contractors working on a shop under renovation and they do not know where 80 Miller Street is @@... can't believe it man...
Thinking back about the map, I remembered that its before the junction so I walked backwards.. Guess what! I walked past the building earlier.. hahah Its really just before the junction... how could I have missed it...
I quickly walked to the lobby and went upstairs.. I introduced myself to our lovely receptionist, Carmen... Carmen quickly called for Michelle and she came to bring me to our desks... After settling down, she took me for a quick tour around the office and introed me to the wonderful pantry that I will never forget. It had orange juice, milk, bread, butter, cereal, fruits, DISH WASHER... and etc...
The next surprise was that it wasn't the only pantry... There was another pantry which had a dishwasher, a microwave, a toaster, fridge, LCD TV!!! can you believe that I was watching Oprah during lunch!!! hahahha Not forgetting to say that it had a beautiful view!!!
I will never forget the office.. it had the best pantries I've ever seen...
