Happy Father's Day

I was going to go with POLITICS AND POWERTRIPS as a cool title for this week but politics makes me hesitate in posting what I actually wrote.

It started with -

Office politics is bullshit! This is why I don’t like working in offices

There is a thing called tact – which some people don’t seem to have.

It was inspired by a work function I attended but the drama of that night was soon superseeded by a lovely family dinner celebrating my Father's 70th Birthday.

And being Father's day today I thought this was more appropriate and way better karma for me too.

Just a small dinner for 50 of my parents friends and family and an AMAZING chinese banquet at Marigold restaurant in Sydney - Suckling pig, sang chow bau, lobster, steamed fish, abalone, chicken, scallops, shark's fin soup and more -  I can't remember it all coz I was food coma full about half way through the meal.

I don't see my extended family often these days and have always felt like the black sheep that didn't quite fit. Then I sat and enjoyed a glass of wine with 2 of my aunts. WOW what an education! I was hearing about all sorts of things I never knew, and had never dared to ask. What my dad was like when he was young, how my aunt met my uncle, the scandal of divorce in the 60's and lots of other family gossip.
 I finally felt that maybe I do fit in with this family.

They say a girl looks for a partner with similar characteristics to her father. I think about my past ex's and understand why they didn't last - I am single coz no one can beat my Dad!
