Once Upon a Time…We Moved Offices

Life has been crazy busy as of late, and most of the busyness comes from work. Though it is time consuming, it is kind of fun to be apart of a start up. I laugh at the many “titles” I am sporting in my new job. Who would have thought that I could add: project manager, creative manager, marketing manager, executive assistant, advertising director, sales representative, and cleaner to the ever growing role that I play here. Right before Christmas we bid farewell to the small cramped office that the two of us were trying to work out of and moved into our partly finished new studio in Surry Hills. It is a work in the process. I feel as if I live in a half finished house, which life has prepared me for since my dad was constantly doing some sort of project on the houses I grew up in. I never lived in a fully completed one. They decided to try that after I was out of the house. 🙂

So here we are now working in a much more spacious environment, still waiting on things to be completed. Next big project is the new website that I am project managing and the video and photo shoot that I am putting together for our new product launch. Hence the new title of creative manager. Soon there will be parties to plan as we launch not only the opening of the studio, but also the launch of the new product. I guess I better add events manager to that ever growing list as well. It is fun to be employee number one, and its even more fun to work with a friend.

Also with the new job comes new clothes. I have never in my 29 years of life had to dress professionally, now I do, which means I had to purchase a whole new wardrobe. I feel like a fraud in my work clothes ;). A musician in a professionals attire.

Once Upon a Time…Meat Pies

There are many things to try in a new country, including my favorite and yours…food! Here in Australia they have a lot of pies, but they are not pies like we think of in the States, they are savory pies, not sweet. Below is my first venture into meat pies. 🙂
