Last week Roundarch had it’s annual Summer Event, which consists of an all-night party and an all-day meeting with everyone from all of our offices in town to attend. It was great to see everyone that I work with in other offices and the party was so much fun. And the after party. The after after party, I can’t say… I went home at 2 and others were still going out for more! As for the meeting, it was actually pretty entertaining… not like the dry all-staff meetings I was used to at other places I’ve worked. Great event, Roundarch!

Turkish Festival at Daley Center Plaza Farmers Market

Yesterday Anjum and I went to the Daley Plaza Farmers Market again. They happened to be having a Turkish Festival on the plaza, as well as the market. There was Turkish drumming, music, dancing, fashion show, and tons of Turkish food. We had planned on getting salads after wandering around the market, but got caught up in all the Turkish excitement and decided to eat there. Anjum had a bean salad. I got a Mediterranean chicken plate. It had a small salad, pita bread, rice and a kind of stew made of chicken, broccoli, potatoes and mushrooms in a tasty, savory gravy.

Daley Center Farmers Market

Last week Thursday was the first day of the season that the farmers market was held at Daley Plaza. I’d never been to the farmers there and made plans with Anjum to walk over at lunch and check it out. I really wanted to get fruit, but of course, fruits are not in season yet at the farmers market. There was a ton of asparagus, spinach and rhubarb. We tried a few different cheeses and I bought a bag of cheese curds. There were some herbs, but not an abundance. I bought a large bunch of thyme for $2.

Because this was the first farmers market of the season, Mayor Daley was there to speak. We didn’t stick around to hear what he was talking about, but I did hear him mention that the totes they were giving out were designed by some school kid. In addition to free totes, we also got free cheese samples, an mini bottle of olive oil and a free Soyjoy bar.

Daley Plaza is not far from my office so I think I’ll be going out for a walk on Thursdays when my schedule allows. I don’t know if I’ll end up buying a lot of produce at this market because my neighborhood market will be opening in June, but it will still be nice to get out of the office and look around.

I work on the United States Air Force team at Roundarch. Yesterday we got these cool track jackets that have both the Roundarch and USAF logos on them and then we posed for a photo. This is only part of the team and you can’t see the logos because they’re on the back. Oops!

Getting blurry! Kidding. I was messing with John’s external flash.

Thursday night was our Roundarch client team holiday party and Friday night was our company holiday party. The company party was at Blue Water Grill, where Dallas and I went once for my birthday. We thought it was good, but overpriced. But when you’re company is paying for you to eat and drink for free all night, you kind of just concentrate on the yum factor. We had a full dinner, but I really liked the free maki station they had going on. I could have skipped the dinner and just eaten that all night! They also had the largest shrimp cocktail I’ve ever seen. So delicious.

Dallas is in West Palm Beach for work this weekend so I made a pact with my coworker Ryan that we would leave early. He had another party to go to and I wanted to call it a night at about 9:00 p.m. because the cookie party was on Saturday. The pact didn’t really work out. I think we were drinking too much and having too much fun to leave. There were secret ninjas refilling my wine glass when I wasn’t looking and we didn’t end up leaving until 12:30 a.m. I don’t know how long the party went on, but that was 6 1/2 hours of free booze and I had way more than my fair share!
