Smuggling Contraband: Packing...
My workplace doesn't allow anything that uses water or electricity on individual desks. I'm going to smuggle in a plant and see how long it takes before I'm told otherwise!

Contraband: Installed
My new green friend is now installed to break up the monotony of the partition to the left of my monitor.
Ahhh it's so calming.
Now to name my new cube buddy.

Smart Lifts...
As OzDJ was proud to report his new workplace has smart lifts with advertising etc I can report the same. Except ours don't have ads, just the date and time. Apparently they did have weather at some stage during the three months the building has been in operation but that's now stopped.

Setting Sun: Homeward bound
Despite a foggy start the afternoon sun is making the day finish on a climatic high.

Looks good, let's get a little bit closer...

Todays Special: Fillet Mignon wrapped in Bacon Up Close
Yep that's real bacon, real lumpy creamy potato smash and in there somewhere is a medium Fillet Mignon. Price of this plate? $29.95
It wasn't bad and thanks to a significant discount from teh Entertainment Book this is actually a Good $15 steak. At full price the value and disappointment would be poles apart. While it may have been a nice piece of meat it was overdone (Done versus Medium) and a bit dry.
I suppose that's the saving grace of a Medium Steak, even done badly you have Medium to Rare and Done as possible outcomes before being forced to eat something unpaletable - or sending it back.
