haaa I was in a meeting with a bunch of people at 50 Lonsdale when news trickled in. That was fun! Meeting effectively abandoned, watched the announcement instead.

Wait, you work in my office building now?

[–] melbourne_wanderer@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

nah, just a frequent visitor :)

(giving advice or asking for money, mostly! If I can swing a lunchtime meeting a bowl of poké never goes astray..)

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Banh Mi joint at the Telstra building next door, is a solid lunch option too.

Those poke bowls have gotten much smaller since that pandemic. Was my go to lunch back then, but not anymore.

Oh I always get the bún at that place! delicious. Had meant to get that today, but there was a huge queue by the time I got there. Had my sad leftovers instead.

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago
