In true Shane form, I have sought out fellow fun-makers and joined up with two professional groups - the Canterbury Young Professionals (well, at least we are mostly young!) and Engenerate (ASCE YMF, but for all engineers here). Well, I actually was dragged out by coworkers to both organisations, but I wasn't kicking or screaming. Anything that may involve socialising with other young people, and could eventually result in shenanigans and tomfoolery, earns top marks in my book, and these two groups fit this to a tee! Just to give you a sense of the potential, here is a shot from the CYP 80s party that occurred shortly after my arrival - I am one side of a limbo rope, attempting and not really pulling off Marty McFly:
Tomorrow night is the CYP birthday bash - $10 gets you $2 drinks all night long (I presume) and in a country that doesn't believe in happy hours or cheap beer, that is a good deal. So I will be spending my Friday evening hobnobbing with Christchurch's best lawyers, accountants, marketers, consultants and even the occasional buttermilk production engineer. Well, "best" might be a slight exaggeration but I will take what I can get!
