And that especially at work... one of my big bosses is quitting. It was really strange on Thursdday, when they told us all that he was going to leave. He was just sitting there and when someone spoke of thanks, he bursted into tears.
It is difficult to know for sure, but rumours are already spreading through the company that his resignation wasn't of his own making. He probably wanted to honourably resign before they could fire him, but the day of his resignation he was already speaking to our competition.
Since he was boss of our commercial department, I was one of his direct assistants and we are all a bit searching for how it is going to be from now on. He is going to be there for another month, but of course he can't take any decisions anymore. It'll be hard in the next few months... but my direct boss of international projects likes my ideas. Next Wednesday my trial period will be over and I have a steady contract :). In these times of crisis that is something major.
At home everything is going great... busy times are ahead, with in February a lot of dates which are already occupied. We start off with a stand up comedian on Friday, then a visit to my friend with her new baby and the following Monday a sauna visit with Razul treatment! :D Relaxing!
But now there is first another few days of work ahead to get through. I hope everyone had a nice weekend and has a good week!

Having a steady job these days is a bonus!
Also preparing for the bad weather due during the week. We are so unprepared for snow over here. I will have trouble persuading the dogs to get out of the utility and out to their shed :(
Hope your week goes flying and without too many hiccups. I have got to go wash the kitchen floor(its big) before bedtime so I will your story update when I get back :)

Thankfully there hasn't been much snow over here in the last week, but it has been freezing outside. For the cars that isn't good :(. But we'll manage.
Watch out for the sand, if you bury your head, it can get sticky ;)

I'll enjoy the sauna very much! :D We have a whole day to ourselves, with special massage, but my neck is killing me again, so it'll do me good.
