X-mas Party 2

Or you can do it the glamorous way : Coke "Oscar" Party in the Sydney Shangri-La hotel. Monroe, Bogart, Madonna and Elvis - they were all present on that great evening. It took a week to recover...

X-mas Party 1

How do you celebrate Christmas when it's 27 degrees C outside? How can you show of your love for your sport heroes in a 3-piece suit, boring banker environment?
What about organising a Xmas party on the rooftop terrace of the Museum of Contemporary Arts, overlooking the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, with the head of your department dressed up as the most famous bowler (criquet) of the '80 ...

Not Always Coca-Cola...

Bummer! Two weeks ago I had my first Brand Manager that resigned. Weird feeling, especially as I enjoyed a lot working with her. She decided to have a career break (travelling for 9 months) and pursue some other career opportunities after that. In the meantime very hard to find a replacement during X-mas/New Year parties, holidays and bonuses...
Anyway, today even worse, also my boss resigned after 3 months being with Coke. Is there maybe something wrong with me, ;-)? He found it hard to fit into the culture...I really liked him though - very smart but more introverted than an average Coke manager.
Apart from that I must admit that life at Coke is brilliant, I feel I get the best of both worlds:
In the morning on the ferry 7.30am, sun is rising, early at work... Pump is my urban cool water, Nestea a more healthy refreshment versus Coke and I'm also working on some great innovation - watch this space.
Leaving the office at 5.35pm (how great to be a mum!), back on the ferry now surrounded with all sorts of yachts - my perfect meditation moment - and home by 6.00pm for Juleen, spending 1.30h of quality time together.
So happy to be a mum!!

It's getting hot in here
