9:26 team.out.chicago

we finally enjoyed a team out dinner that is well reserved after a week of long hours hard work. we were at an italian restaurant along north rush street, the restaurant was packed with patrons and if it is not because of the earlier reservation for the party of 24, we probably won't be able to eat anywhere in town today.

serious celebration means we all deserved piper champagne, good italian red and white wines, some good food, my bowl of my seafood linguine is larger than my head as you can see on the picture above

some starters of oysters and shrimps for everybody, a warm starter plate of fried calamari and stuffed mushroom. my seafood linguine and the giant lamb shank of a colleague of mine

our table, flourishing with good food, never ending wine supply and merry conversation. everybody needs a break really tonight just to mark the end of the preparation.

after the dinner, almost all of us adjourned to a club just opposite the restaurant, these are just some fun photo moments, everyone let their hair down after a week of work hard, we do need to play hard tonight.

that's the night out and tonight the usa is turning the clock to day light saving, that means we all lost one hour the next day onwards...

time to sleep now and there will be no alarm clock setup for tomorrow and in fact the only day that we don't have any work to do in the morning...
