Extraction of Current Hygienist

 

This week I resigned from my current Dental employment.


When pondering the most appropriate subject matter for my email resignation (not the way I would ideally like to resign but how it works in this practice!) I asked some advice from a fellow hygienist..turns out just like Harry Potter, there are many many dental puns.

'termination of employment'

'extraction of current hygienist'

'time to gap it'

 

'this tooths gotta go'
 

My hilarious friend Amanda aided in writing a whole new resignation letter for me...just from dental puns.

 

'it's all Wong for me here, I can't caries on like this, I've become abscessed with teeth and need to fracture our decaying relationship.

'I'm going to gum it down for you, I've become abscessed with teeth so I'm fracturing this relationship. You carie on without me, I'll be all white. I'll brush off all your tears and leave with my crown intact. To composite for my leaving, you'll have fun filling my position. 
Please don't polish off all my leaving morning tea before I get there or my veneer of composure will be eroded'

I'm leaving at tooth hurty this afternoon, hope you can fill the gap, see ya scaler!'

The Quizners Of Azkaban

 

 

 

J.K Rowling is an amazing lady, not only did she create Harry Potter, she is just bad ass.

 

 

 

 

A number of things on one day bought JK Rowling's awesomeness to my attention and I was organising a team for a fund raiser Quiz Night. I decided to put it out there to our team that I would like a Harry Potter Pun for our team name...and things escalated very quickly. 

 

"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Quizardry"

"Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Team"

"You're a Quizzard, Harry"
 "Expelli-answers"

"The Neville wears Prada"

Some of the suggestions and then of course we settled on:

"The Quizners of Azkaban"

As a good hostess I  decided to introduce all attendees to each other, referencing both how I know them and their most suitable Harry Potter character so everyone gets a bit more of a back story. 

Stefan - I meet through my housemate Amy, he is a podiatrist/pun master and sings guitar and plays at open mic nights. He's a similar healthcare/arts combo to myself which I quite enjoy. George Weasley; he's a joker at heart but also full of exceptional quirky ideas.

Ty - I also know through my housemate, Amy. We meet last year and may have been on a couple of dates once upon a time (shhh!). He also has an excellent real job engineer /comedy combo. Oliver Wood; a Gryffindor champ. Fit and sporty, a born leader, Quidditch captain.

Turns out Ty is an exceptional artist also !

 
Amandine - she's French/auzzie and speaks a bazillion languages. I introduced Amerdine to Big Help Mob November last year and she has volunteered at so many missions!!! It's impressive. Fleur Delacour; she's French and exotic. But also super tough and will give anything a go! Also she gets to marry bill Weasley so winning.

Bec - is my housemate, she is pretty great. If you haven't meet her you are in for a treat, that's all. Hermione Granger; Bec is bright and logical but also secretly pretty bad ass. 

Jon, Amandine, Laura and Bec

Laura - I know her through her housemate nick who works for Big Help Mob. Laura is a nurse but also a professional connections attender and my soul competition for Queen of the Gays. Helga Hufflepuff; one of the cofounders of hogwarts and hence everyone's favourite house is named after her. An inspiration to many.

Jon - I know through the couch surfing scene in Perth, a fellow kiwi Woopwoop! Cedrick Diggory: because he's all about being the sports (quidditch mostly), but also very kind and loyal.

Kim - I also know Kim through couch surfing/frisbee. She's a little Irish pot of gold! Luna Lovegood: she is often referred to as the anti hermione (no offence to Bec) believing in the possibly impossible. A true gem to be around.

 

Laura then decided I should be Lavender Brown - "Cause you're a little bit of a stalker but everyone still loves you".  I was happy with this as I do enjoy the colour purple and she's a cute stalker (see image above).

 

Hard at work.

 

We may not have come out tops on the points table but boy did we win on team spirit!! Fun night all round (and yes if you were wondering I did buy everyone glow in the dark wands)

Night Swimming

A good friend of mine, Mathew departed Perth this week to return to Cleveland to be generally just awesome but mostly to work in costume design (such talent) on a film of Mary Poppins. 

Looking fab as always

On Monday night we had a fitting farewell dinner which involved bubbles (very appropriate), delicious caramised onion chicken, chocolate peanut butter pie (made by me) and night swimming!! 

Chocolate Peanutbutter Mousse Pie

It was Mathew's last chance to go night swimming so we did! Just this last week the temperature has dropped here in Perth. Would have been more sensible to night swim in the peak of summer, but alas what can we do. The sand was cold but the water was still warm and an excellent way to send Mathew off after a wonder summer in Perth.

Fresh out the water

It was pretty wavey

We are in the paper!

Know your neighbours

Nick and I photograph quite nicely I think.

My good friend Nick started this awesome non for profit called Befriend; "Enriching lives through social connection. We're working towards an inclusive, connected world"

They are hosting a street party on Sunday in conjunction with 'The City of Vincent' my local council so Nick asked me to join him for a promo piece in our local paper. 

I like how they quoted me. 

'Ms Maguire has attended other Befriend events and said she noticed how quickly people at the events would form relationships with the other attendees.

“There are lots of things available for dating but friend dating is a bit awkward,” she said. “Befriend really fills that void.”'
