After hearing about it for many months and looking forward to it especially after reading that it was comparable to 'Sex & The City', I finally watched the Spanish premiere of 'Desperate Housewives' yesterday. The first 2 episodes. And I have to admit that I am bit confused, not to say completely. Why is everyone raving about this boring show? How can anyone dare to compare it to the fenomenal 'Sex & The City'? Am I missing something? Or is it that the Spanish dubbing simply kills it? Maybe it's just that being no housewife I simply cannot identify the way I did with Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda? If you have the answer to any of these questions please educate me and comment!

Mr Senior screwed up
Well, as you know I usually do not write two posts the same day (I am aware that it is now officially June 10th and it is therefore "another day" but to me it is still Thursday night!) but these major news call for another post. I simply need to write about this and get it out of my system.
Some of you already know that a guy from HQ joined our local office in March, Mr Senior as I call him because of his attitude and yet incompetence. If you know this, you also know that I was never particularly fond of him and his apparent fakeness. I can't really explain why, call it female intuition. But I was not the only one as my friend and co-worker Nat felt the exact same way.
Well, the news flash today is that Mr Senior screwed up big time. He was indeed not to be trusted: not only was he an employee of our company, he was also the owner of a competitor; he thus took advantage of his position to send many business opportunities and projects to his own company since March. But Mr Senior is also stupid and he thus made some big mistakes that enabled us to uncover his scheme.
Mr Senior is in BIG legal trouble. We will sue him and make sure him and his company are out of business.
Morale de l'histoire: follow your intuitions!
Personal morale: As these are the kind of people rewarded by the company this only confirms that I do need to leave asap!
PS: See you next Tuesday cause I am off to Germany for the weekend!

A question of honor
Ok, envision a drawing of a friendly baby crocodile.
Then listen to this song.
And now the million dollar question: how do I make this a mobile success on the Spanish market?
Unfortunately, this is no joke. The crocodile is called Schnappi and this little German song has been a HUGE success in most European countries. I am therefore now obliged to do the same. It's an honor issue.
Unless not making it a hit will make me loose my job. Hmmmm... something to consider!

Cravings
Why am I so hungry and craving junk food these days? These days when the bikini season is right around the corner and I should be dieting and exercising instead. Knowing that I wouldn't even look like her, as I am certainly not planning on retiring, hiring a personal trainer and having plastic surgery.
But really, why do I go from craving to dieting phases uncontrollably? Yes, I know it is mental and I am obviously going through a phase of anxious cravings in my life in general, but if anyone has any magic trick to successfully change my chip mode, I beg you to please share it with me!

Invisible
While Uma B. wonders if she'll disappear, I myself feel invisible.
Invisible as in lost or hidden in the dark.
Invisible as in time going by and yet nothing worth mentioning happening.
Invisible as if someone locked me in a waiting cell and all I can do is just that: wait, not visible to anyone.

Decision
I have finally taken a decision. A BIG decision. I am going to reject their transfer offer given the unreasonable conditions offered. Of course I am going to make them wait a bit before I tell them that... haven't they driven me crazy with their eternal mind games and waits?
Things are finally moving and better offers are coming from other sides. Cross your fingers!
And in the meantime, I'll be enjoying the nice hot Summer days in Madrid for a bit longer ;-)
