I woke up in a panic because I hadn't set my alarm for work, and then realised... I don't have to work again! Because I was the only one up I cut up one of my old work shirts to make a new pyjama top. Since I hadn't got to say goodbye to Mia, I went to her restaurant, where she was working. She made me an iced coffee with condensed milk and I couldn't resist a Roti Chennai, which was really nice. On the way I stopped into a optometrists because my contact lens wa...

Today was a good day to have as my last day at work since it was fairly quiet in the day.

I brought some roti's and Taco Bell refried beans from Prahran convenience, and probably made Patel and Birren outraged on the ins...

Since we don't have internet, I couldn't look up the number to call NAB to block my card, but I saw Thibault at the train station who looked it up on his phone. I thought it was a very good service that you could put a temporary block on your card, and then if you found it you could instantly unblock the card- I'm not sure if they do it in England, but they should introduce it if not as sometimes you don't want to block it in case you just left it somewhere it ca...
