*changed her avi twice already* I didn't quite like the pink additions actually XD I tried it with the border, but still didn't like it QnQ With this one I'm also unhappy. Maybe I'll just return to the gray bunny one, it was simple and corresponded to my mood

Edit: Yup, gray bunny it is. That's mah jam right now XD

Oh, and my (now ex-) boss called me this morning, said he spoke to his superior last night. He told him I'm not really interested in going to Athens, and asked him why he even wants me there. And apparrently, drums please, I was supposed to acquire clients for them Which is something I said a long time ago in this company that I will always refuse to do. So that's also what my ex-boss said, no way, forget it, she's not gonna be getting clients for you. So I got offered to start an economic activity and translate for them from time to time and to pick up their mail from the office once in a while. I'd issue invoices for them monthly and that's it. I could definitely have another job at the same time and it wouldn't collide as much. So now I just need to calculate the taxes stuff and see what I find out... But I probably should wait for Ash with that? I don't know.

Hm, I missed the one you had in between now, but the bunny one is cute :)

Oh, my, sounds like the situation with this company is a bit complicated. But good that your (ex-)boss knows you well enough to tell them that you won't do the client acquiring.
But I guess at least you don't have to worry about deciding whether you're willing to go to athens anymore, so that's something :)
I hope the situation works out for you and you find somewhere nice to work!

Thank you, it's just so gray and gray and gray, so, you know XD Not something fancy, but maybe it's good to make such an avi once in a while.

Yeah, they complicate everything they can xD Yeeees, I was so happy that he said this. Plus, that's exactly why I didn't want to go, they said I'd do the same things, didn't peep a word about acquiring clients... And I'm super happy that Athens are out of the deal, such a relief tbh QuQ
Thank you, I hope so too. No interviews yet, but I already got called twice (tho one was from a recruitment agency, more like "tell us what you're looking for, we'll call you when we have it"), so that makes me hopeful, at least somebody gets interested by my cv

I think I'm dehydrated, because I just called a droplet of tea "Elizabeth"... and then did a weird dance in the kitchen. Someone call the exorcist ;>_>

Yeah, I can imagine that having this athens thing sorted out for good is a huge relief! It's always so stressful when huge things like that are open and you don't know what is going to happen.
I think it's a good sign that they're interested in you - you haven't even been that long at applying in other places, right?
Seems you did a good job with your letters and cv :)

Ehm, maybe you should go ahead and drink "Elizabeth" and the rest of where she came from ;) That might help with the dehydration :D
I should drink more as well... Half a glass of water and one coffee isn't really much for the day, considering it's already early afternoon...

Especially with the Greeks being slightly slow with the decisions/negotiations stuff. Like, why didn't he tell my ex-boss that he wants me to acquire clients, if I knew from the beginning, there would be no negotiations at all, therefore no stress for a week or so. Like fuck logic, man XD
I began sending my applications last week, something like that. Maybe half of the week before the last week. So almost 2 weeks. I just send the cv and my recommendation letter everywhere I can XD

I had to wipe Elizabeth out, she was rolling down my mug, and for some reason, I was just whisper-yelling "don't do it Elizabeth! 8u" XD But she did :'( My water reminding app doesn't think tea is good, because it only has black tea in its options and that counts as 10% water, so I drank 200ml of tea not so black tea, but it counted as 20ml of water... so that poor droplet-pet is still in the phase of "I'm drying out! Drink more" and looks like a grandpa with the sad face and dry mouth xD
Haha, yeah, it's past 4 here and all I've had all day is that 200ml of tea XD And now a few gulps of water... Maybe that's why I began singing "We are the Champions" in that weird, squirrel voice... ;>_>

Puh, yeah, they could have saved you a lot of worrying and thinking if they had been clear about that from the start. Maybe they didn't realize it was possible that you wouldn't want to do that or something.

Well, 2 weeks is not so much. So I think getting 2 calls already is good :)

Poor Elizabeth! :D
Hm, that sounds like the app is not really accounting for tea very well. Fruit or herbal teas should be more like normal water than black tea, I think.
But yeah, we should drink more... Maybe I should go and make myself some tea as well :)
But probably I should first go to the store... When we were doing groceries yesterday we forgot that we had completely run out of baking paper. And we planned to make pizza tonight, so we really need it...

Yeah, but I've been asking for possible duty changes since they first told me our cooperation is still possible. But I never got any answers. Since the end of September Plus, my boss always made sure they knew I wouldn't acquire clients no matter what, so yea, nice to know they don't give a fuck xD

Riight? I'm kind of proud, but at the same time, I know I used Ash's template for cv and I wrote my own recommendation letter, so it feel slike cheating XD

She will be deeply missed :'( Lol.
I forced 400ml into my stomach now. The app droplet is now smiling, but there's too much fluid in my tummy XD;
We were supposed to go for groceries. But Ash went out with his step-dad, bought the wood for the cage we were planning and now he's too lazy to go anywhere. So I gotta move my flat butt off that sofa and go for some take out, because we're too lazy to cook. We're not doing well with avoiding ordering food, but at least I'm trying to exercise. The following week will be my ultimate test, because brace yourselves, period is coming

I drink like 6 cups of tea a day

So much activity ._.!

I am glad this thing with Athens got sorted out!
But indeed, if they would have told you earlier, that they want you there for recruitment, you would hav said "no" already... So yea, much ado about nothing.
Also great that your (ex-)boss knows you well enough that he refused :)
Possibly you could do two jobs then, that's great! It looks like you have good chances of getting another one :)

Oh gosh, stop talking about exercising and food.
Somehow I cannot seem to find a balance AT ALL.
There are days I only have my shake and something with vegetables in the afternoon while I work out that day. But there are other days I eat and eat and eat and I cannot stop. And of course only junk food. Luckily, at my place, if I am very hungry, there is no junk food I can eat actually. I start eating bread or apples or the like as I do not buy sweets or the like anymore. But right now I am at my parents place and my stomach is like "oh, crisps, oh look, chocolate and OH sweetened nuts and OOOOH BEEEEER". Yea. Sounds crazy, but this was my actual eating pattern yesterday. Despite of having breakfast and lunch.... Kill me please x.x
All the healthy days are only there to weigh up my food days.
Something is wrong with me >.<
Now, of course (as always) I am thinking about doing more sports, like 10 minutes every day, one day volleyball and 2 days a real workout. Let's see if I will do that starting from tomorrow... I doubt it xD

@River: But just tea? That's not much water for your system then x.x
I drink only water lately, but I hate it so much (all of the sudden it's super not tasty for some reason) and I craved some juices, so I think this weekend I bought 1 liter of multivitamin juice. With just water my app was telling me I was dehydrated that day, but then I drank half liter of the juice and the app went "yay, you drank over your hydro needs! ^^", and that was in no time and without effort, simply because I liked the taste of the drink xD

@Julez: I'm still waiting till he consults their accountant, but I cross my fingers for this deal. It won't be such a time consumer, and it's still additional money. For practically doing nothing. I'm still happy he thinks it's gonna be half of my previous salary (totally fair). I say "he thinks" because seeing the communication between him and his boss, I think he may not know all the details in the end. So nothing's sure Until I sign another contract. But it's a good opportunity.
I just hope, if it works out and I get another job, I won't indulge myself with all the money. It's gonna be a challenge XD

I think you eat so much because you exercise? Today I had the first workout when I was not hungry during the warm up already XD; And, I have only worked out consistently for a week, but I feek that since I exercise, I'm generally hungrier. The trick is probably to be aware of what you're eating, or more like what you're supposed to avoid the most. But I'm not sure and it's really hard anyways when you think about it XD
Well, not to burst your bubble, but I gotta be honest, if it was me, the "starting from tomorrow" part speaks for itself. As in, it's not gonna happen , lol XD

Also, in terms of working out, I'm kind of proud of myself because for the past few days I only did stretching-workout vid-stretching and that's it. But today I did the workout video twice before stretching again so yay QuQ
