10 days to my holidays ...
Going through an awfully busy time in my office. The phone keeps ringing all day long and I try to keep a polite, sweet tone every time but as the day goes by it wears off and then when I just answer the phone normally (not even being rude), people will go and ask me if I'm ill or feeling down...And then I'm wondering who in this world is supposed to walk around with a Colgate smile all day, besides me, I mean...get real, people...I'm not a walking advertisement for toothpaste and when I smile (even though if I do smile a lot) it's because I feel like it. Get a life and leave me alone...specially because I'm never alone. Even when I try to sit quiet so no one will notice my little me...there is always someone. From Customer service asking for advice. From the accounting department asking for invoices and credits, which means I have to pick up the phone and talk to Spain ,because my Spanish is so much better than theirs or better yet, because they already know me...well, in case u don't know, if u start calling then they will know you...ok, ok, short fuse today...breathe in, breathe out, happy thoughts....blah, blah...I won't miss this while I'll be away.
Of course I will miss my friends. Filipa (my side-kick), Jose Paulo (my best friend in the whole world) and Fatima. The daily xxx-rated conversations with the people in my team: Isabel, Pedro and Albert, my director. Coffee breaks.Fun stuff that happens everyday. But this is where I draw the line. I couldn't stop thinking about work on my last vacation because I talked to someone from the office at least once a day...Not now...being on the other side of the ocean will keep me at a very safe distance...no phone calls, only e-mails, that I will check when I want, IF I want...hmmm, this feeling of absolute control is quite nice...I should go on vacation more often...
10 more days...going on 9, since it's nightime already...and Linda will be here in yahoo in a little while and our evening will be fun talking about our trip...the Mafia-Duo will be having a lot of fun together...oh, I just can't wait....
Well, well...gotta go now...waking up obscenely early tomorrow because I have to make a sales proposal to every Mango store in this country...only 50 of them , each one with special needs and all...so easy...
Take care you all.
