A photo of the corner of a room that has a whole bunch of musical equipment in it: there are three electric guitars and a bass guitar sitting in a stand at the left, two very large speakers, an electronic drum kit, a MIDI keyboard, and a full size piano at the right that is painted in extremely garish bright colours.

A photo of five smiling people looking at the camera. There's me, a man with short brown hair and a short red beard holding a bass guitar, a tall man with shoulder-length hair sitting down holding an electric guitar, two men sitting at the drum kit each holding one drum stick each, and a woman with long brown hair holding a bright pink ukulele.

The reason I was in the office today was because it turns out we have a whole set of musical instruments in the "wellness room", so a bunch of us decided to get together to play some music! It was SO FUN! Only two of us could play guitar or bass so I mostly stuck to one of those, and we ended up with two people playing drums together (one person would do the hi-hat and the other would do the kick drum because nobody was coordinated enough to do both together, lol) and we absolutely got into a groove and were rocking out and it was so excellent. It's planned to be a regular thing and I'm so looking forward to the next one. (There is a group of Very Talented people who get together and play most Wednesdays and Fridays but that was way too intimidating for us so we did our own little thing.)

A wide-angle photo looking down from our Level 30 office in Sydney's CBD. There are a number of shorter buildings directly below, and some taller ones forming a bit of a wall further out. The sky is grey and foggy and everything is wet because it's just been raining.

I am once again in the office and thoroughly enjoying view. Bit of a miserable day though.

A photo of the interior of a corner of our "social" level in the office, there are a bunch of people standing around and one of the walls in the background is covered in a black fabric with shiny stars on it, and there are larger stars hanging from the ceiling.

I don't even know how to describe this one... it's basically a bunch of large shiny blue and silver inflatable balls of various sizes sitting on the floor and hanging from the ceiling, and the lighting is dim but with bright purple directional lighting highlighting part of it. It's... a lot.

A photo of my hand holding a cardboard takeaway container full of nachos, but the corn chips are black.

A photo of the DIY lava cake station, there are little lava cakes in paper bowls, and an assortment of things to put on top: some sort of raspberry jam thing, chocolate flakes, smashed-up chocolate honeycomb pieces, and a giant bowl of cream.

And then completely coincidentally tonight happened to be the "official" opening celebration of our new Level 29, there were nachos and a DIY lava cake station, and the theme was... "stars" or something? Not entirely sure why. Maybe because it's high up? Anyway it was good, though I bailed at like 6:15pm because I was peopled out, haha.

A wide-angle photo of a restaurant table with pizza, pasta, ravioli, and a bowl of french fries on it.

Aw yiss, paid-for-by-work lunch is best lunch. 😎

A wide-angle photo of a bunch of mostly empty bowls and plates from a Chinese restaurant sitting on a table.

A photo of a crispy golden-brown ball of deep-fried ice cream sitting on top of butterscotch sauce.

And the final day of delicious paid-for-by-work food was Mr. Wong's, we went there last year and it was amazing and was just as good this year. There's nothing for scale on the photo of the deep-fried ice cream ball but it was about the size of a softball (we went halves, there was no possible way I could have eaten the whole lot).

A photo of the inside of an open office area with a number of individual low tables and chairs, and a BUNCH of big plants that reach up almost to the ceiling, so it almost feels like you're in a rainforest.

Another section of the office, it's all clean light colours (but not in an antiseptic way), with light coloured wooden tables and chairs and cupboard panels, and a big commercial espresso machine sitting in the middle.

One last view looking down a quite large open area, still in the light colours but with a (currently closed because it's night time) self-service salad bar in the middle and the base of the bar is a bold red splash of colour in the middle of the lighter colours surrounding it.

They did a big revamp of the reception/kitchen level at work, and man it looks great. We even have an in-house barista in the morning now!

A photo of a fried chicken burger with a slice of cheese hanging part way out, and a little cardboard container of chips.

A photo of a "doughnut" (it doesn't actually have a hole in the middle" with meringue on top and a bit of the lemon filling visible at the side where it's leaked out.

Aww yeah, day one of our work team event has begun with a kara-age burger for lunch followed by a lemon meringue donut. 👌🏻

A photo taken from the 28th floor of our office building looking out over Sydney's CBD. Lots of tall buildings, with shorter ones directly below. The sky is a lovely blue colour and what I think is North Sydney is distantly visible through a gap between two of the buildings.

Man, the view from our office never gets old. (Though I also thoroughly enjoy NOT be required to come in, I should point out.) We had a team dinner tonight at Long Chim and it was absolutely spectacular, and lots of fun conversations with co-workers. A++ would team dinner again.

A photo of a bunch of pastries and sweets (croissants, big cookies, etc.) sitting on an office desk.

I'm in the office today for a team event, we ordered in a bunch of pastry-type stuff for a celebration in the morning and were originally planning on going to the beach but changed that plan yesterday after seeing the weather. So we managed to get a reservation to go indoor go-karting, got on the train at Wynyard and weren't even at Town Hall when the organiser got a call from the go-karting place saying it was cancelled because they were flooded. >_<

A photo of a long table in a restaurant with food in the middle of it and everyone digging in.

Awww yeah, paid-for-by-work lunch on the last day of work for the year. 😎
