Today's been one of those days when I feel like I have lots to do but can't be asked to do any of it even though it would make me feel more organized. I have been learning stuff about Blackberries (you know those phone/computer thingies that all "important" people have) since I might be asked to help provide support and install them to people in this building, I have been taking minutes in a meeting with senior project managers and producing various spreadsheets. I still have charts to make for our monthly reports and updating some formulas to our billing and profit&loss spreadsheets but I am trying to ignore them as much as I can. I also have to compile all of the company's timesheets for last week and breakdown everyone's hours to normal pay, overtime, holiday, sickpay and generate a spreadsheet that I have to send out to the managers... and... I need to create new emailgroups and aaaargh... I actually have lots to do and yet here I am writing my blog lol. Well, don't worry be happy is my motto - I have all these things that I need to do but I make my own deadlines - NO STRESS!!! :)
Ok, so I work in an environment that is the opposite of what I actually am - I don't like how everyone looks the same everywhere wearing suits and similar haircuts - where is the individuality!!!??? People sit at their desks the whole day - staring at some screen and making sure the wheels of the world keep turning... yack, it makes me sick to think about it... I so want to get out from here, I want to work in my own cafe making soups for suit people and remind them that there is a better world out there.
Another funny thing that happened today... We were having a look at the map of Europe today and I was shocked how badly EVERYONE (except me) knew where all the countries were. People were able to name UK, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Sweden and Finland (probably because I have talked about them) and that's about it. One of the guys was positive that Denmark is where Estonia is and no one had ANY clue of the Eastern European countries... well, I guess that is somehow understandable because for the Western Europeans these countries were known as Russia for a long time, but come on, move on with the time. However I didn't find any explanation of not knowing where Holland and Belgium were... Only one I didnt know was Moldova and now I know that as well :)
Can you place the countries on the European map? You should... I bet you that an average 10 year old can.
