What's the point?

I would say I have worked for quite a few companies.

Of course, only for a short time, all of them. But I have an idea how it is to work.
And you know what makes a difference? That if you do not get up in the morning and say, 'shit, i gotta go to work, and will be stuck there for 8 hours' instead of 'I really wanna go there, talk to my colleagues (who are like friends to you) and get updated about everything.

That can make up for: prestige, money and career advancement (all i do not have at this time).

I have made some job application recently.
And none of them 'convinced' me. Why? Because work environment, work profile, work load and appreciation towards your profile do count for me!!!!
So whats next? Well, soon I will tell you. There are going to be some updates. That is for sure. But do not tell me, I should do something else. Because I will not. I am not the person who is looking for world wide fame and huge amount of money. Just to clarify this, these things are good. But they do not have a priority in my life. This is the bottom point. Maybe I was different just 2 years ago. Maybe my studies prepared me for different jobs.
Whatever.

I like to get up in the morning, and do not think, 'shit, 8 hours...'
Instead, cannot wait to get to the work place....

Full stop...

ps.: she is cooooooooooooool!:

And now what?

I know I have written so many times that I am about to make an important decision which will have an influence on the future.

Well, this is again the case.
The thing is, right now, i feel good with what i am doing.
full stop.

I cannot stay.
There are two ways to go.
Career wise both good, but have their pros and cons.

And I do not know what to do. Simply, because none of them convinced me!
That's it! None of them convinced me. And i dont see myself doing any of these two.

Why the hell do i always have to complicate my life?

I want to be free!

It was some week behind me! I have to admit, many things have happened which are still kinda vivid in my head.

One of the things is the at work, finally (after 2 months) we are getting a normal rhythm of work! (meaning, i can actually can really finish work at 6 pm... ). Why? Well, the International Week 2007 finished! I gotta say I really enjoyed that week, I was always 'around', and realized how much I am that type of the person (always in rush, has to be at 3 places in the same time, but the show must go on etc). Also, it was a great opportunity to get to know my colleagues. Which, to be very honest, are awesome! I have the best colleagues at Bocconi. All of them have their interesting story of life, and you would wonder what the hell they are doing here. The bottom point is, that they are really nice! (after 4 workplaces I can say this is the best workplace in terms of colleagues). By the way, I made some nice photos of them (and of the International Week 07) you can see them on ######### place. Also, just the other day, we had some celebration at one of the professors' place (brindisi for the well done International Week). I was a lot impressed. What a flat he has got! spacious, in a very nice zone etc... Maybe I should be a prof? :-)

Anyways, it is not the only thing going on. This Saturday was dedicated to my online CV () which from now on is available in 5 languages! (special thx to Joao and Toni). You might ask, how come I am working on my CV.
Okay, let me tell you....

On friday, the folks at work started to make plans about the summer holidays. As our office being a bit particular (let us just say it, public relations type), we have to synchronize our holidays in a way, that for each internal function there is someone to take care of. It is more complicated then it sounds, believe me. But the problem comes only now, as they were asking me when I would like take my holidays. Then I had to inform them that my contract expires on 11 June! (shocked looks, believe me). Then I tried to explain that I know that it is not sure if I will be offered a new contract (hell I know I will be) but I am not sure if I will take it (understanding but 'pissed' looks at this point) and anyways, should I be offered a new (and 'interesting' - and now would emphasize INTERESTING in terms of MONEY) contract and I should accept it, I was thinking of starting off in the mid August as I was planning to spend 2 months in Spain during summer (shocked, pissed looks, knowing each of them is ready to kill me if I leave them in deep sheet in the middle of summer, when they are longing for holidays but workload is extremely high). Of course, the answer was, we have to talk about. (meaning, no way I can take out 2 month, but they are wrong if they think they will tell me what to do, it is waaaay not my style to accept what other tell me - you guys know it very well).

Anyways, the main question would be, do I want to stay?
It is 4 months I have been in Milan.... One more month and I will break my record concerning staying permanently in the same country for over 5 months (in the last 3 years....). Gotta say, I feel weird about it. For as much I wanted to settle down and have my own place, I am missing moving, I am missing the 'newness'. I am missing having to explore a new place. I think I have become addicted to moving....

Where do I want to go? Well, in these last several weeks I have been feeling a strong nostalgic for Spain! Spain is so cool! Why? the culture, the language, the bars, the tapas, the prices, the habitude of going out, easygoingness, climate, girls.....
Yes, but I was in Spain, and wanted to come back to Milan... of course I wanted, I had to demostrate something to someone.... and I DID SO!!!! I actually proved to myself that I can still achieve whatever I want! :-) What an exaggeration but true in the end.

So am I moving? I will not deny, I have been thinking a lot about it. And found some interesting job offers. But do not know now. Cannot say. I know only one thing, I have had sacrificed a lot for this current job contract. If they tell me I have to decide right now, - being not sure about it- I would say right away NO, I am NOT staying.
Anyways, I guess next week lot of thins will be clarified (like what if I stayed at #####...).
But one thing has to be clarified. This job is really nice! I love its colorness, and that you get directly involved with people, and you help them. I love my colleagues! They are the best! I love the fact that I can practice all the languages I know, on a daily bases! However, there are some negative things as well. One of them is the huge, unbelievable workload (created by an inefficient work routine!) which impedes me to arrange everything in only 8 hours. The other thing which really irritates me (especially after my last job) is the complete lack of autonomy and power. Anyways, probably there is no perfect job as there are no things which can are perfect, in this world.

bytheway, have you noticed that when you are using Mozilla FireFox , my blog finally appears as it suppesed to be (3 columns aligned!). I finally - well, after one year- realized what the problem was! And corrected it, so I hope all of you using Firefox (which is the best by the way) will have no problems reading the posts!

As many of you asked in this week, what about girls.... well, what to say, I am being Gabor in this last weeks :-P

To close this post, for the marketing gurus, I would like to suggest one site, incredible, but I think this will have a huge success! http://www.momentosbb.com/ (in Spanish)

Greetz to everyone!
