Melbourne Adventures

     Now that I have a job I am able to finally go out exploring and not worry about money so much. It is such a relief and I have been having so much fun!

The Original Staff at Pirgo: everyone makes me look so short!

     Everyone at work gets along well and most nights we have drinks and chat until late into the night. One day during one of these chats it got decided that I would be put in charge of planning a night out. BAD IDEA! I am new to the area and not exactly the first person one should talk to when planning a night out even at home. So needless to say the night didn't exactly go as planned. We started out taking two cars with everyone in them. On the way there I stashed my keys in Jarv's car (this is important to remember).  We then proceeded to go to a bar with a small dance floor. It was too loud to talk and too awkward to dance so we decided to move on to a club. On the hunt for a good and cheap club, that wasn't out of the way, we failed. So we went to Dakota were it was fun and loud with decent music. For those who went to high school with me it was like a high school dance only there were no chaperones and somehow the dancing was surprisingly cleaner. About 5 minutes in Jarv left and told us we could get a taxi back to where the night started and where my car was (remember where my keys are?). At about 3:30 we left and took a taxi back as suggested and got dropped off. There I reached for my keys after agreeing to drive my co workers to their housed so there would be no one walking in the dark home when guess what was missing...       thats right! My Keys.  Realizing my mistake I called Jarv several times but the man was tired from a long weeks work and wouldn't pick up the phone. I was stuck at 4am in the cold with a locked car sitting on a bench on the side of the road ready to wait till the morning when someone would either get to work and open up or for Jarv to wake up.   I did eventually get my keys back the next day.

"Mostly it is loss that teaches us about the worth of things" -Arthur Schopenhauer     I learned an important lesson about the worth of keys and keeping track of them. I would have been so lost had I not been able to locate my keys
