Everybody likes to show support of their teams differently. Two days before the Grand Final, my boss Michael hung up Collingwood signs all over the office. He is a massive supporter.
In true fashion, the St. Kilda fans (basically the rest of the office) showed our support today by waiting until Michael left the office for a little while. Then, we put up our decorations. He returned later in the afternoon to find St Kilda signs on his car (below left), the entrance to the office and hanging from the ceiling.
We printed many signs and put them up in his office. There's usually a signed and framed Collingwood jersey where it says "Go Saints", but that was removed from the wall and hidden in somebody's cubicle. The crumbled up papers used to be Collingwood signs. A little evil, maybe? Nahhhh
Needless to say, our decorations didn't last very long once Michael came back. It was defintely entertainment for everybody, though. As you can probably tell, I work with fun people.

For lunch, we had a typical Aussie barbie for the Grand Final. The boys are grilling up a storm outside.
Aussie steaks and chicken on skewers. Plus one beer
A delicious spread of Aussie food. Beer, Greek salad, bread, sausages, ketchup (you're better off calling it tomato sauce, because nobody calls it ketchup) and chicken. It's a good thing I'm not a vegetarian.
My plate included a sausage, chicken, salad, tomato sauce and a glass of white wine on the side. This photo doesn't include my second helping of salad and a half piece of sausage.
I don't know what it is about sausage in Australia, but it is amazing. I hate it in the US, but I could eat it almost every day here. It's a real staple to the Australian barbeque. Most people wrap it in a piece of white bread with tomato sauce. DELISH!!!!
Our lunch ended with our footy tipping presentation. Footy tipping is when everybody in the office puts in a certain amount of money, like $20, and they choose which teams they think will win every weekend. The person who gets the most correct WINS! Our first place winner got $180. Not bad, right??
Also, as requested by one of my friends, I will provide a post that describes footy in more detail. It's a fantastic sport!
