My people are everywhere, and I do what I can to keep them happy notwithstanding my own busy schedule.

Speaking of slow (not ***** slow, but slow in a positive way), really looking forward to slow cooked lamb shoulder this evening for dinner.

There was a birthday at work today, so we got together and ordered lunch to celebrate. Pizza, Ribs, Grilled Chicken, with a bunch of sides, a large salad, topped off with cake and macarons

I believe in Western Culture this is known as a 'Grand Feast' and reserved for weddings and special occasions.

Wasn't bad. I'm really sleepy now tho. Thank goodness for (Asian) teas to keep one up and productive.

We all know this is a lie on your part, because your co-workers would never invite you to a social event.

I'm sure they were, but they weren't the world's best macarons, made on Darling Street Balmain by Adriano Zumbo.

And they still let you sit the umpires' test despite it being obvious you know nothing about the game? smh

I've been meaning to ask why you don't play cricket and have gone into the umpiring side instead?

Play it too. Actually playing the final of this little Sat League KO cup tomorrow against a bunch of semi-pro guys. But I've only got so much talent when it comes to playing, it'll never be more than recreational for me.

With Umpiring I could actually get to that enviable position of being paid to watch top-quality cricketers in action from the best seat in the house. And I get to have a legit reason to nerd out over the rules and minor little details that otherwise come off as weird and obsessive. What's not to like?

You have to stand up for ages

I'd rather work minimum wage making zinger burgers as long as I got to sit down

It's this weak Australian mentality that leads to your players resorting to ball tampering.

Plus I thought a dislike for standing was only a Kiwi thing :ph34r:
