Well its 9.40pm here and I'm doing my best to stay awake. Me and Tash went for a quiet drink after work which ended us rolling (literally) in at 1.45am! Didn't make for the best start for my first proper day at Maples. But the dacquiries at Deckers are worth it, although the mount gay rum and coke might have been pushing it a bit far for a Tuesday night.
Loving the hot weather, still trying to adjust to the humidity though, and as for hurricane season so far so good, although I will be going out at the weekend to stock up on some hurricane supplies. Life at Maples however isn't quite what I imagined. It's nothing like Eversheds, which miss loads. The people seem really nice but everybody is so quiet, theres not much laughing, joking or banter which is definately what I'm used to with the Private Equity Team! I'm only 3 days in though so need to give it a few more weeks before making any rash decisions!!
Kim is flying out for 10 days in 3 weeks  so as you can imagine I'm very very excited about that! Checking out all the places I should take him - other than bars and restaurants which is all I've really seen so far!
I hear the weather back home isn't so great at the moment so I won't make it worse by telling you about relaxing in the hammock at the weekend, swimming in the ocean after work and cocktails by the beach...........
Struggling to stay awake now so think it's time for a cup of tea and then bed, going to need my wits about me in the morning when I attempt to catch the bus to work!! Will let you know how I get on.
Take care, missing you all loads, love Rach xx |
