Europe? No Profit and Loss Statement. Oh, Europe.

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

I think that I may as well be focusing on my trip a little too much these days.

It’s mostly because of the fact that I was in this meeting today and one of the higher ups were talking and for a few minutes there the only thing that I could hear him saying was Europe.

First of all I don’t think at any point through the day he said Europe once and add that to the fact that it took me a long while to step out of my day dream enough to realise that his lips were moving and he wasn’t really saying Europe at all.

I think my brain has already gone of vacation and my body is still at home, with my brain occasionally popping in and going what the bloody hell is going on here? Then quickly leaving before it really has to do anything.

Now I have to say that although the Europe meeting wasn’t that stimulating it did get me out of work, the fact that they are paying me to go to that meeting is just icing on the cake.

Anything really is better than work, mostly because I am a Support Manager in a huge retail chain which is really one of those jobs you never want to stay in but somehow find yourselves stuck in there for lack of other options.

Sometimes it’s a really problem I may over twenty five people and they’re asking me what to do when sometimes I am absolutely off in lala land, mentally in Europe, mostly at the Greek Islands.

It’s a real problem espically because I can be stocking things and directing people when suddenly getting that all too familar jolt of panic going what in the world am I doing going overseas by myself, what am I stupid.

ARGH

Flying Purple Pandas

Monday, April 21st, 2008

I keep seeing purple dots around my head, I think maybe that I have had a little too many Flying M&M’s.

Yes I know before my trip to China, I basically lived off Flying M&M’s and after that sugar high craze in which several things happened that we have sworn never to talk about again. I decided to never eat them again, it was safer that way.

Mostly it was due to the fact that they made me swear on pain of death that if I ever ate them again they would take away my passport and flush it down the toilet.

NO NOT MY PASSPORT.

But as long as no one tells them, and I don’t tell them about the purple pandas that I found under my bed I think we will be alright.

On the passport note, I have to admit I looked at my passport again and it looked so weird it is five years ago and I actually have to get a new one soon. Okay next year soon but whatever.

But I did look at the stamps and give me a second BOOYEAH I have, Canada, America, England, France and China.

BOOYEAH all in three years.

NINETEEN! No. SEVENTEEN!

17 weeks. ARGGGGHHHH! I have 17 weeks and a couple of hours until I fly off to Paris, I think that I am well justified in my screams. Mostly due to the fact that, granted I know I have a little over ... [Continue reading this entry]
