super extra long weekend!

i was on a course this Wednesday and Thursday, and then i was on leave yesterday (Friday) so technically i was only at work 2 days this week! it was a bit of a rush initially, but i guess things sorted out themselves eventually.

the course was partially on handling customer relations, although strictly speaking, since i'm in the IS dept it doesn't really apply to me. and then they'll say that my colleagues from other departments are my "customers" anyway. it was fun though, and considering that there was assessment AND it was being approved by WDA, which kind of made it all the more worth our time. everyone in my company has to attend, including all the backend staff, myself included no less.

things have been a little rough on the cardiac aspects. mostly me being at fault. but i'm sure we'll pull through. i've been trying to handle situations better, but my emotions get the better of me some times...

in any case, the title is linked to a simple recipe on how to make a mocha vanilla aka frappuccino. from what i've gathered so far, the steps are simply

1. make coffee (whatever type),
   
2. pour into mixer with ice cubes,
   
3. blend until mush,
4. squirt chocolate sauce into serving glass,
5. pour mush out into the glass,
6. add whipped cream if desired.
   

and vóila! now if only i can get myself a blender, i can try out the above for real...
