Work and no play....

Hope in Brussels I can keep up with these posts, on a more regular basis than up to now.
I have 'to do' lists all spread out the flat, as I have a trillion things to do before June 1st. Just to give you an idea:

1 - find a good moving company
2 - find a few flats in Brussels to have a look at
3 - find out the costs of importing my car
4 - choosing all furniture, etc etc....

Job wise:

1 - coordinate the transition
2 - recruit 2 more people
3 - optimise workloads
4 - assign tasks and clients
5 - learn new report analysis
6 - monitor the work of new trainees
etc, etc, etc....

Meanwhile, I've kept the same workload as before and I'm travelling 3 times more, meaning when I come back, I have a pile on my table...
My Summer holidays are a mirage and an utopia, I will not have them...
Met some Belgian colleagues who are already asking for help, and we haven't started yet....

Helppppppppppppp!!!!!!

PS - well, to soften things a bit, I'm out tonight for a Portuguese Talent dinner. Can't be too bad, as it's in Moma 56.

Enjoy the weekend!

Blonde turnover

I swear I didn't want such radical change! I told the guy to act according to my skin tone and do what he thought would look nice. And he gave me a blonde look.... My hair was reddish before, now it's blondish....Oh dear!!! I'm still getting used to the idea of being one of them :)

Caprice

My latest buy - this cool Samsung flat tv....

I deserved it! I keep spoiling myself! I allow myself many whims lately... Well, if I work hard, then why not, right? hihihi

Here I go

Knowing me, deciding to go wasn't a big thing.

Of course I've accepted and am now in the middle of the process to know exactly when I'm moving to Brussels.

I went there last week and was quite well treated, in a successfull attempt to convince me that moving to the city would be so beneficial for me. They put me in a very nice hotel and my new boss took the day off for me. Our office is right at the center, sharing building with the Sheraton and facing the Hilton and the Crowne Plaza. Just across, a main shopping street. I liked the atmosphere, the place itself. And since the position they offered me is higher than my actual one, it didn't take long to decide to make this move. April/May should be.

Goodbye tapas, movida and splendid sun. Hello chocolate, beer and grey sky! :)
