It's all just work, work, work...


This afternoon, I will be experiencing the "worst" aspect of my new job. Yes, that's right, I've got to meet 2 of my clients at Prime (I personally think it's one of the best Steak restaurants in the city) and have dinner with them, then we go to the City Recital Hall at Angel Place for a concert with the Australia Chamber Orchestra (my favourite orchestra) featuring Katie Noonan. Following that, we retire back to Prime for dessert and drinks and socialising with the musicians! (My employer is the ACO's principal sponsor and purchased a 1759 Guadagnini Violin for use by the Principal violinist - we practically own them and so they are very accommodating with the Bank's requests for access) I'm really looking forward to that, particularly if they bring along the Violin - it's reportedly worth approx. $1.5M - me being a former violinist, it'd be fascinating to see it and even better to hear it close up.

So yes, it's going to be absolute torture tonight! he he he!

I'm sure the musicians will be happy to see a banker who has a fine appreciation of their skills!!
Hope you had fun.

I'm sure it's not all champagne and caviar with your work, but that sounds like a pretty awesome perk.

Not fair. The last time I was invited by work to do something with clients, it was some stupid sporting event (I can't remember what it was). Can I apply for a job at your work?! :P
