Out and About...

Hello All,

Ok, well tomorrow will be one month since I arrived, it has flown in, I hope the rest of the year doesnt go so quick. The last 3 weeks at work have been hectic. I have been given a website to create as well as being trained on the reservations and phone calls. Its fun and all but when you get someone who is a bit slow and cant read the friggin internet for the information and who is on the phone to you for half an hour, sometimes, its hard to get your work started.

Anywhoo... Im building the website at the minute got a good bit done but have a few bits and pieces to clean up for the boss so I will be sure to post the link up on this once it has launched. And hey who knows, maybe ill even get a booking over it.

So... San Francisco....

I went out on one of my days off for some sightseeing... and would you adam and eve it, my flipping camera run out of batteries. So now I am waiting for my friends to upload their photos so I can steal them. Basically we went around the city, from Lombard St, (the really really steep and narrow street... most crooked street in the world,) then off to the Golden Gate Bridge. It was class. I know we got some amazing photographs but as I say I havent got them yet but I will be sure to upload them as soon as possible.

Ok so on the way back from our sightseeing trip I stopped off at a shop called "you say tomato" its a british shop which had lots of goodies. Including...... wispa bars... i must have bought about 10 lol. But I also bought proper bacon, sausages and few other things which I will now explain why....

Since I have been here I have been trying new foods... Taco's... Sushi... McDonalds... lol... so a few weeks ago Rica (girl I work with from Japan) made a Japanese dinner for us all, last week colly (other irish fella im working with) made us bangers and mash... not traditional irish food but I tell you... it was good... so I thought I would bring my culture to San Fran... and I made an ULSTER FRY!! lol

Ok it wasnt entirely an ulster fry, it lacked a few items like soda bread, potato bread etc... but it did have galtee bacon, sausages, henze baked beans, eggs, and toasted weaten bread... and all washed down with a cup of tetly tea.... now I dont rate my cooking skills too high, but these guys cleaned the food quicker than I did! So I consider it a success.

Monday night (last night) we worked a long day, and then the girls came on the bus, and we went to the ball game... It was a massive park, the wind made us all cold but still the San Francisco Giants won with a little help from us, quotes include:

- Lets here it for the Harp Larger Belfast Giants
- Bring on Kevin Cosner
- HIT THE BALL!!!
- Go on Ricky (pitcher looked like a guy we know)
- Go on YA GOOD TING
- WHAT YOU TALKIN ABOUT HE IS OUT??? *rica is he out?... yes..* - GOOD CALL REF
- Hey batter batter batter batter.... swing batter batter batter batter.... misss
- Boooo urns.... Booooo urns (burns from simpsons- they arent booing you sir, they are sayin boo urns boo urns)

amongst others...

It was good fun I mean boring, but its the people you go with that makes the craic.

So now its tuesday night... gonna watch Top Gear because I hear that AC/DC singer is on this episode so im expecting good things. So nighty night and ill upload the photos as soon as I get them.... hope all is going well back home... be sure and keep me up to date with the bizz

Love - Jamie
