Crisis over

Unbelivable! :)

I had a training today. It was me (!) who trained the country representatives... because i am the one in the central... funny..some of them has got much much more knowledge than me...
And the same old story: central approach or local view...always different :)))

The problem is that now I am in the central and not in local level... :P
You never know... :)))
Anyways, so just wanted to tell you: the training started at 2:00...

I had a last meeting with one of best colleague from Italy... she really helps me a lot... so:
1:45: let's go through on your slides
1:51: ok, so change this, this, this
1:54: let me check sth...
1:57: change this
1:59: change this!!!

áááááááááááááááááááá

and at 2:00 i opened the call... :DDDDD

It was so great!!! :)))
Of course it was totally different like a normal presentation... everything depends on your voice! :)

Anyways, I don't really think that it was that bad... ;)

Good learning points in these days... seriously! :)
Basically that's why I am here... to learn, to experience more, to challenge myself in different situations, specially in those areas where I am aware of my weakness... :)

That's why it is soo challenging!!! :)

I love taking presentations...
But on phone???
Funny...

Anyways, today is over, just the Friday one is missing... :)

I will go soon and pick up Kleshi from the airport!!!! :)))

I should really update my profile in LinkedIn... so, find me there too!!! :)

By the way...today it was the last year of FY07!!! :)))
Tomorrow NEW YEAR'S EVE!!! :)))

And Friday we will have a small drinking within IPG to celebrate the Q4 closing...

And on Monday the other businesses will organize "Open Doors" for everybody, so basically we can see our products, our new marketing strategy, campaigns.

Interesting :)

Trick or treat?



Happy Halloween! :)
(HP is a US company...fyi)

I will survive

I will survive this week.
Today I already had 1 presentation. It was not that bad...
I have good presentation skills.
Yes, but only if I can emphasize what I am saying with my gestures, my hand, etc.
While I am using netmeeting... people can not see me, just my desktop...so they can not see it how confident I am what I am saying...because of my hands...
So they just hear my voice...whixh is not that confident... :S

Anyways, today I survived 1 presentation... it was not that bad...i survived the Q&A session too...the whole thing was less than 20 minutes... :))

I don't like this modern world... I prefer to see my audience...check whether they are listening to me, using the eye contact, gesticulating, etc. Now I have my voice..that's the only tool I can use to make the presentation more interesting...

And as you can mute your line, you do not really have to take care what the other one is telling you...
It would be interesting to check how many managers, or even how many ppl are listening carefully during netmeetings...
Modern world it is...

Tomorrow I will have an other presentation... it will be bigger and more important than the today one...

ááááááááááááááá

I am scared... so please cross your fingers for me... hope...I will survive...

And tomorrow a friend of mine will visit me... :)))
Ok, it will be just a short visit, as he is traveling forward to his girlfriend to Lyon...but still... :) At least now I can hear some gossips!!! :)))
Kleshi, I really need some gossips from home, so prepare!!! :)))

Nowadays, I am always reading Kipling - If.

I really like that poem.

" If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!"


"And so hold on when there is nothing in you,
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!""

Change

Change is good.
Change is necessary.
Change helps to improve, to develop.
But if everything changes in every second????

How can you work like that???

I am getting more and more angrier when I finish my work...than i have to start from scratch again, because everything has CHANGED!!!!

ááááááááááááááá

So, I was so fed up and pissed off, and anyways, why should everything always change???
So, I bought some chocholate...
Some...ooo...some nutella, and 3 kinder eggs...because now you can win Shrek figures... i.e a CAT. :)))

On my way to go home... i was guessing which eggs could have the Cat.... :)
Than I met my flatmate, and gave him one...with 1 condition, if he has got the cat...it should be mine..
Yeah I know it is not that nice, give sth as a present than ask it back... :)
Anyways...so you are not gonna believe this!!! He HAD THE CAT!!!!

ááááááááááááá

I can not be that unlucky...

But he gave it to me... :))))

back... :)))

Fight or flight

Oh my God!!! That Heroes was soo good!!!!! :)))
Unbeliveable!!!
Fight agains your biggest nightmare!!!
Fight or flight!!!
That is sooo true!!!
Nobody can fly away from that!

I am soo bored.... really this work is sooo operational... áááááááááá

Just want to finish... have 2 more GTMs to simulate....
will take 1 hour or so...
ááááááááááááá

Yeah probably it is not the most efficient way..working AND watching movie together.... but if excell is sooo sloow....
áááááááááááá

Anyways, the weekend was great... :)

Saturday evening we had "Girls night out"!!! :)
Without guys!!!
It was so much fun!!! :)

We went playing bowling, before that played with this "Csocsó", table soccer or sth like that... and also played with the basketball...
but for just one it is not that funny...so we went crazy and 3 of us were trying to male point at the same time!!! :)
The system couldn't follow us...got confused..but it was sooo cool! :)))

Oh, dammit... and because of this work, now i can not join to one of my flatmates dinner.... he is cooking very well...it smells good... :S Next time! :)

Oh yes, and today the clock adjusting thing was just sooo useful for me!!! :))) After I realized the change... :D
Finally I could use more hours!!! :)))

I hope i can finish soon so i can go for running or sth... i hate being in my room now...

Just a short sign in...

Yesterday we celebrateed Manuel's birthday... he is from Italy, working also at a hadgefund, and he used to live in Rue De Lyon...

Oh, yes.. the famous Rue de Lyon... :)

We found a really good restaurant...it is basically an italian restaurant, but the owners are from Spain and Portugal. So for us it is just a Spanish/Portuguese restaurant... :)))

And they serve French/swiss food too... We ate fondue, and pizzas... :)

This restaurant will be a definitly must go, when my friends are coming and visiting me... :)))

And, moreover, yesterday it was fullmoon... so beautiful... :)))

Today I have to work.
Yes, I know, it is a workingday in Hungary, so now I am solidariting with my friends, but still... :)
On 1 Nov I am in the office!!!
Not like you, guys! :P

And my first high.-school reunion will take place today... Hopefully i can participate virtually... :)))
Would be so great... :)

Have a nice autumn, enjoy the colorful trees, the sun is shining, life is beautiful. :)

HP

These 3-4 weeks...terrible... working-working-working....after 2 weeks, coming home every night after 22, i am not able to do anything, just jump into my bed....maybe watch some tv series... maybe not just sleeping, and than at 7 everything starts again...and i was soo fed up with that, fed up that can not finish my work on time, always extra work, but because of the never-ending changes, i am always working on the same thing... :)

so, and i was fed up because couldn't meet my friends, couldn't do the laundry, couldn't go shopping (the shops close at 7...)

So, Saturday I slept a huge...i slept all day, and stayed the whole day in my bed...eating in my bed(!), watching 24 and Grey's Anatomy, and House again - because i am addicted...

Than of course on Sunday I felt guilty that I didn't do anything, so I went for a huge walk with a friend of mine, than did the laundry (3 times...:)), then went to the gym, and planed my week, so now i can finish late, but after work, i am still going out...

Tuesday: Sara's birthday :)
Wednesday: German - Hungaraian - Canadian Kebab & Winetasting - that cellar was something extra nice :)

The athmosphere in that cellar was very nice, though the prices were nice too... ;)

Tonight I am leaving, hope to meet Sarah - who has just arrived from Spain for a short visit... :)

(of course till now i was working... but who cares? :)

Next week just 3 presentations are waiting...
Till yesterday just 1...but today i organized 2 more... :)workholic!! :)
and i have an insurance as well...

And i got a glass from Pickwick ;)

So, life is beautiful...

At HP... things are cool...now i know what i do, why i am doing and how should i do that... :)
There is a woman from Italy, she is sooo helpful...really...and...I don't know how, but she knows me already so well... :)
Always the right sentences in the right moments!!! Unbelivable!!!

AND!!!!
MR. VOICE came back!!!
Haven't heard from him in a while...and on Monday... he just called me... :DDD

And there is an other colleague of mine... i am still thinking of his nickname... Krishi any idea more than welcomed! :)

Oh, and by the way: It is snowing in Croatia!!!
No, no, it is nothing to do with any "spy sentence" or something like that...
:DDDD
In Baska.

How was it guys in Croatia? Tell me, tell me... :))))
All the public details...and non-public too... ;)

Khm...well..
ok, not that one :)

I am starting to be too random, should finish now...

Strange, my intention was to write about something...that i feel somehow now that I am far far from Hungary...i feel more the importance of Oct 23 or all other stuff like that... strange...

ok, it is a serious topic, next time, when i am not that "havas-like"

Be back soon,
Hugz

Aliz

I am still alive...

Yes, I know.. it is always like that... during the weekdays.. I do not have time, cause I am working... but what if I am working during the weekends too???

pathetic, I know... workholic..that's who I am...

Actually, I love challenges, and I love the changes...but this is unbelivable...that 3 minutes before the deadline..I have to change the whole project... aaaaaa

And my boss is asking: Are u stressed now?
Than laughing, because i twas ME who asked more tasks....
How stupid I am????
Why is that that for me nothing is enough???
I always want more, better???
I should learn...good is enough...

On Thursday, Enid and me cooked for our bosses....
Peter organized the whole Hungarian dinner.
Hmm...

I think, everybody enjoyed it.
My bigboss is now on diet... that's why we cooked Gulash and pancakes....good for his diet... :)))(I left the office earlier....around 2-3, we had to take back some meat, because uit was brown!!!
Unbelievable!
In switzerland...ok, the meat was from Migros, but still...
I was very stressed that we will not be ready on time...
But we managed to do it...!!! :)

Than, when my bosses arrived, one of them said to me:
Oh, how interesting it is, seeing you in the kitchen... :DDDD

Welll...maybe they know me... :D

Last weekend I was at home...again... :)
My grandfather turned 85!!!
So I had to be there!!!

It was great family lunch... I ate sooo much.... but really, so much... :)

And finally I managed to visit my cousin! And her child!!!! :)
Alíz!!
They trusted me to let her in my arms.... well... :)
I am happy that I didn't drop her... :))))



Isn't she cute??? :))))
And look at her design hair!!! :)))
I love her!!! She is sooo small...but how strong!!
She grabbed my finger... :))))

Now I have to find the iron...so have to go... kisses

Things that I like now

- An email from an old-old friend, I haven't seen him for a while; saying that he is organizing our 1st high-school class reunion (after 5 years)
- My identity test - it is pretty cool actually, i did it yesterday evening (5 factor model of identity) it says very true things about me...strange...
check it out here

- Every first Sunday of the months - the museums and exhibitions are free...- so i will go and check one... (i really miss some culture in my life... theater, musical, poems, or museums...so now i will go to feed my art-hunger... :) and have to find a great theater soon
- New flatmates - Heba, the egyptian flatmate of mine id not coming back...strange.. I totally understand Vesna, who really misses her...of course, they have lived together for 2 years...so, instead of her, yesterday a guy from U.S moved in...he seems to be o.k, and cool... and he pronounce my name the same way as Mr. Voice... ;)
- House M.D Season 4
- Grey's Anatomy Season 4
- I am going home at the weekend :) For my grandfather's 85th birthday!!! :)
- my membership at the gym (seriously, I had CAF on Tuesday...i can not even sit down normally...i really should do more sport...and go to the sauna...)

Things that I have to arrange during this week: (a.k.a. things that bother me)

- insurance (well...i really have to check this out...penalty of more hundred CHF...wouldn't be that good for my financial plans...
- Mdme Girardi and her flat ... i will need my negotiation skills for that
- have to write to my professors... i don't know how long i am continuously postponing these things... what i am afraid of??? about my english -hungarian program, about my thesis(es)... nooo :S Ok,maybe I am afraid, or rather worried about the answer: NO.
She could do that. Just simply says no to all my plans, my dreams, my well-constructed speech (well, email at least). She could freak out, that i didn't tell her earlier, that I am leaving the program, in the middle of the semester... i haven't even paid the fee yet... oh, i am BAD. Very bad...
- maybe (MAYBE) I can not attend our class reunion...ááááááááááááá, have to calculate, and check the flights, buses, hitchhiking opportunities...

Too early???

I keep saying to myself, to my friends and to my colleagues, that it is too early...
To early to decide, to take actions, to plan..
But...I have to realize that it is not that early. Actually, it is the right time!

Now I am still in the office... yes, fix working hours...and also flexible...Fix from 9-18, but it is flexible when do you want to work more...at the weekends, or at night...

Ok, now i am not workling, tp stop complaining...but we have to deliver the results on Monday...and this f*** system is **** **** slow!!! So the upload is not going, so i have to wait here, and see when it will finish... :)
Anyways...

:)
