reward

to thank us for our all hard work, our boss invited the management team for an evening out: dinner and stand up comedy. at first, the timing made me cringe: the evening before our work outing, at a time when i normally go to the gym. that all the amount of work i have at the moment, i thought i couldn't make it. but then i thought about all the hours i've been working and how i deserved this break.

it was a great evening! there were just 8 of us in the end, and it was fun. the stand up comedian was one of my old students' partner, who, it turned out, had done the show for over 2 years in France. and it mostly had me roaring with laughter, often with tears running down my cheeks. i hadn't laughed that hard in a long time! i really had fun and i'm really glad i went.
