Its been quite a week already. I don't think that I want to go into great detail, because I don't want to inadvertently fuel any flames, but suffice it to say that there are some persons who are no longer employed with Exile. The funny thing is, there seems to be a lighter feeling all around, because in all honesty, we've been waiting for this shoe to drop for quite a while. Its good that it finally has, because now we can finally get on with business, and not have to walk around on eggshells. This is not to diss any of the persons who have gone - rather to say that, things had not been smooth with them for a number of months, and its best that we are going separate ways and doing our own things finally.
Since things came to a head, its been an amazing whirlwind of flavour, so to speak. Just in the last week, Exile has gained 11 new members to the family - celebration time! Our Christmas decorations are up, much thanks and love to Jynxxie and Emerald, and they seem to be well-received by everyone who has seen them. We're currently planning our Christmas Ball, to be held on December 21st at 8pm SLT. Tentatively, I will be DJing the event.
I'll also be taking the Tuesday night 9pm shift until Emerald comes back from her visit back home to visit her family for Christmas. Jynxx has moved her Thursday 5pm shift to Wednesday at 7pm for the time being. So yes, there's been a few adjustments to the schedule, but nothing major. I'm also happy to announce the return of some previous staff members who had left, due to personality conflict with one of the persons who has now left Exile.
Things are going to be just fine.
This morning was a good bit of fun. Master and I were sitting at Exile, discussing a few things that have happened this week, and got onto the topic of "River Cottage" - a British show that we were watching until we ran out of episodes to watch. We were both laughing, talking about Hugh's poly-tunnels and green houses, and celeriac, tomatoes, capsicum, and butter beans. Heh. I suppose that would make a lot more sense if you had been there. Take my word for it - it was hilariously funny, given the context of the conversation!! Master, I think the hanging veg boxes are a MUST, btw. ;) Truthfully though, I do love that show. I love the idea of having a bit of land, and becoming self-sufficient in that way. "River Cottage" inspired me to start my own garden, and I am really excited about the prospect of it, now that I have a house that has a bit of land to do it on, instead of having to do it all in pots, which didn't work out so well for me (or my veg).
Dinner tonight is going to be grand - chicken tortilla soup, possibly with grilled cheese on the side. Its cold and snowy outside, and I need comfort food! If you like chicken tortilla soup, you can find a really awesome recipe for it on Ree Drummond's website - The Pioneer Woman. I still chuckle when I look at her site. From going to school with her (though I didn't know her overly well), I never would have thought she would be such an amazing chef - cooking person.
For now though, its time for me to take my shivering self off to get my set ready to DJ tonight, finish my soup, and then let what may come, come.
Carpe Diem!
