Back To School Vibe

It's Labour Day, the air is crisp and chill, I'm wearing a new outfit, my team lead is back from holiday, and I moved into my new office this morning.

Danish schoolchildren actually started school a couple weeks ago; they don't celebrate Labour Day here. However, Kendrick and I did our best to spread some Canadian culture by hosting a Back-To-School themed BBQ on Saturday. Our guests of honour were Jenny and Natalie, my cousin in Dublin and her friend.

The party was a hit, not only because of the costume contest and the team game, but because of the uninhibited Danish welcome that Natalie got. Let's just say that she left on Sunday with a very favourable view of Copenhagen and its friendly native inhabitants.

Søren, Tomasz, Michael, Dorota and I also made a pact near midnight to come to work all dressed up and fancy looking, just for fun, and to surprise Kenneth on his first day back from vacation. Although some of us were drunk at the time, we still went through with it today. We've gotten a lot of attention and questions for our efforts, and an incredulous stare from Kenneth as a reward!
