The Almost Post About Sydney
I wrote a post yesterday about our stay in Sydney and our trip to the US Consulate. Really, I did. Then I accidentally overwrote it with an empty file before I checked it in. So it's gone.
He's a quick recap for everyone who didn't get a chance to appreciate the now lost, paragon of prose.
- Went to Sydney for a week
- Caught up with some friends from Brisbane
- Caught up with a friend from High School, (Hi Igor), that I haven't seen since 1993. He has detailed files on lots of people I've been too slack to stay in touch with.
- Worked in the Sydney office
- they have Vegemite, real bread and a toaster in the micro-kitchens. I was in snack heaven.
- hung out with Sydney NetOps/SRE/Sysops, had a ball
- used an inflatable kangaroo as a stand-in for a video conference team meeting, much hilarity ensued.
- Renewed our visas at the US Consulate
- lots of stress (some my fault, some bureaucratic insanity)
- Things To Remember For Next Time:
- Don't get an appointment before the Post Office opens
- Bring something to read
The upshot of all this is that we'll most likely be in the USA for the next two years. Visitors welcome.
