168 hours

A week passed. A whole week. There's a saying: Time filies when you're having fun... Am I having fun? Mostly. The majority (and a segnificat part) of the time I am.
I was greeted here with open arms, happiness and eagerness. Even though my friends forgot that I was landing last Friday and once I was out of immegration and customs and I expected to meet them, they were no where to be found. A quick call fixed the problem. They were on their way home from work debating when I'm landing and who is going to pick me up. I beat them and arrived earlier then they expected and they both ended picking me up.
It was a smart move to land on a Friday. Though I didn't suffer from jetlag it did give me the time I needed to relax and enjoy some mellowness before being thrown into the midst of work and it associated pressures. For some reason I expected the people in the office to be older, more mallow and mature. I was pleasently surprised to discover that I'm one of th elders (age wise) in the company. I'm starting to think that there is a generation gap between and it manifistates itself in the fact that the majority of people working in software companies are in th 20 and 30.
It's only been a week since I landed so I'm still not making long term plans and I try not to even think about it. Even though 1 matter has already popped up and I will need to deal with it sooner than expected.
Even though this is not spain....
Hasta manana (don't have an accented keyboard...)

PS - If you think this post is vague, you're not alone. I feel it too ;-)

Almost

It's almost time. Time to move. In a little more then 48 hours I will be on a plane again to a new location in my life, a new adventure :-) looking for new things, new feelings, new ways to look at the world, new experiences. Slowly but surely I'm starting to get excited. I didn't pay much thought about it until yesterday. It always looked far in the future... Not anymore. I wish my feelings were going haywire in all directions (at least I would have had excuses for whatever I need excuses right now ;-)) like they used to, but I learned to manage them and not let them control me. The one thing that poeple do without thinking was for a control freak unthinkable. My brain keeps them in control. Lets them be felt and expressed but doesn't let them make me lose my head and forget all the chores and errands I have to do before I can put myself on the plane without worrying that I left loose ends. Sure there will be loose ends (and I already know of a couple of them) but not anything I will feel might make the world behind me crumble and be left with nowhere to come back too. I know I'm exagerating but old habits die slow and there was a time that I felt that the world behind me crumbled when I move forward. I will try and make a better job in keeping the blog uptodate by posting as often as possible.
until next time...
