Cake Day

Thursdays are Cake Days at my office. At around 2pm the kitchen leaves a freshly baked cake at the mini kitchens. Today's pastry had a heavenly meringue topping. What amused me was seeing my coworker wiggle his fingers in anticipation.

Last night kendrick and i ate at a thai restaurant, with a really yummy red curry. It cost about $40CAD for the two of us and it's the cheapest meal we've had so far!

On the way home from thai food my phone rang. The caller ID showed me that it was somebody from my old workplace calling me. My heart jumped because I didn't think that there would be any way for them to get my number, unless it was some kind of crazy emergency for which they managed to coerce the number out of my mother. To make matters worse, when I picked up the phone nobody replied. They called again, and still no reply. I was so worried about it that I dragged Kendrick into the nearby hotel. This particular hotel has free internet access in the lobby for their patrons, but of course they don't check if you are actually staying there! I managed to find Betty and Miguel online and I messaged them, but only Betty responded. Her response was, "oh, did it actually ring??". So the culprit was Betty, she was testing her phone card to wish me a happy birthday and she had no idea the temporary chagrin she was causing on the other side of the planet. :) Then she called for real and we caught up a bit. It's really good to get some contact from home - I feel less homesick.
