1. Justin is a rockstar!

Last year at around this time at our AGM after party, I went inside the building to my office. When I opened my office door there was this brilliant reflections and lights coming off my wall. I looked up towards the light and there hanging from my ceiling fan was a disco ball. I was so taken aback – it was beautiful! A few short minutes later in my excitement, I found out that Justin bought the little disco ball to hang in my office, anyone who knows me even a little bit would know my reaction, which is Justin Byrne you are a ROCK STAR!
