Yesterday us girls went into Leiden to search for booze and talks, and we definitely found what we were looking for. Fuck, I was so wasted in the morning! The fact that I’ve been sleeping way too little is catching up with me and biting me in the ass hard these days. It wasn’t that I was so tired, because I wasn’t (in contrary, I was in the mood to celebrate because I’d survived my second week of work and had made my first placement!), but the booze hits much harder if you don’t sleep enough. Then again, the amount of booze was nothing to be ashamed of. Nearly a bottle of rose wine and four or five double-shot apfelkorns are enough to get anyone pretty woozy. I should have drank more water before I went to sleep. It was my own fault.
I was in a mood to celebrate, though; work’s been going very well. I had my talk with my supervisor just yesterday and he said: “I can tell that you’re enjoying yourself.” And with not so many words he expressed that he liked to see me that happy and not to stop expressing my joy in my work, because it’s infective. And you know, on Thursday I had a really good day and I walked around thinking that I was finally finding my place. I dare to hope again that I’ll find a bit of happiness in work. And Friday, after I obtained my first bonus because my first candidate was offered a contract with the company I proposed him to, I sat in the metro that left from WTC station… I looked at the building where I worked and a bright rainbow was arching right above it, outlined on the dark clouds, and I had to laugh at the corny symbolism of it. But I do dare to hope again, if only a little.
And finally, on a wholly different (fangirlish) note: I fucking love Battlestar Galactica. Best series EVER. Well, apart from Lost maybe. The boxed set of the first series arrived today, and the first ep of the second season will be aired on the 21st. Let’s see what that brings. *grins*
He, yeah, I saw that rainbow as well…
Unfortunately I didn’t have much to be happy about. Just a lot to feel tired about. But I’m glad you’re enjoying work somewhat now…
