It is just 25 days more and Christmas time!!!! :))))
I didn't really feel it till today.
I went shopping and in the supermarket there were lots of Christmas stuff, and of course all the candles, the pine branches, the Santa Clauses, the Snowmen, mistletoes, everything was FAKE. With fake snow on the street and on some trees in front of a famous Hotel.
Disappointing.
But than... today... I saw a small small shop.... When I entered, it was warm inside, there were candles, and the smell was amazing.
I was listening some music coming form the shop, and everything, the branches, the Advent cornices were amazing, beautiful not too much things on them but also not even less. Just perfect.
If I had more arms, I would have taken one.
Next time.
So that's why I changed also my blog photo... :)
The Christmas countdown has started!!! :)
I am so excited and happy!!! :D

Finance or not finance that is the question
The show must go on.
My "little boss" is leaving The Company tomorrow. Yesterday we went out for a beer, and talked a lot about this 7 months, and of course about our future.
And also Mr. Voice would like to organize sth for him!
He will come from ZH just because of this! He is a really cool guy. Old, but still, cool! :)
Next week I will go out for a dinner/drinks/dances with Mr. Voice. ;)
I will miss my boss. He was great. It was strange, because he knew he is leaving, still he was always helpful - in his own way, but still.
And the coffee breaks, the cigarette breaks... :)
It was always fun.
Not to mention his knowledge.
I can not even imagine how we will survive... in the middle of the closing and just in the beginning of a new fiscal year. Cool.
Of course I can decide alone in many questions... I am an analyst or what. :)
Tomorrow will be interesting.
Anyways, so yesterday I talked to my "boss", exboss, future exboss, and he asked me whether finance is the right field for me or not.
Hmm...
Nice.
Actually, of course I am aware that my analytical skills could be much better, but the job what I am doing right now is very exciting and challenging.
I am coordinating the quota setting & deployment process centrally, and coordinate the tasks and acitivities of the countries in EMEA.
So, it is a cool job. If a country has got a problem, they are coming back to me, asking several questions, I have to investigate, where is the issue, where discrepancy is coming from, than has to communicate it to them.
So, at least it involves a lot of interactions with others, not just "playing with numbers".
And also, my operational task, the monthly accrual calculations and preparation for booking, so this task is now even better, since I got a counterpart for CEE & MEMA region. So I also have to communicate and coordinate our tasks.
So, now I am really happy with this.
I can imagine myself, working in this field.
Even if it is not only analysis.
Moreover, mainly because it is not only analysis.
But, we agreed to meet in 7 months again, and we will see how life is going on with each of us.
Who knows where I will end up.... :)
Maybe I should be more conscious about this, but I still feel I have time.
And who knows?
Maybe I try out myself in the banking sector???
:)
Watch out Zurich, I am coming! :)

TO DO List & Insurance
I have plenty of things on my TO DO List:
- Insurance (1)
- Escalade organization
- Translation for university - actually 2...
- French course
- Ski renting
- Xmas presents for my family (I have to ask some help from Budapest...)
- Credit card
- Pension
HP related:
- redeem my e-Award points
- do the TRAM
- Xmas party organization
- ask about the fondue
Ok, well, it is doable...
Just my insurance...
unbelievable.
The agent came to my house 3 weeks ago or even earlier, and said: Here is the contract, it is exactly the same what your friend signed, so you can sign it, and that's it.
Hohoho.. wait, wait... Can I hear more about the details?
So than we discussed that for me the best /which is equal to the cheapest, since I have my own very good and cheap hungarian insurance, just there is 1 small problem with it: it is not valid in CH.../ so for me is the best if the "frenchise" which means the self part this is the amount of which I have to pay always for any medical treatment, until I reach that amount.. so this in my case is 2500 CHF.
So than - this is the highest "franchise", I have to pay around 200 CHF per month.
(yes , for nothing...)
Anyways...this is the cheapest. So, I signed the contract and than after a while - 3-4 days - I got 2 letters from 2 different insurance company. None of them was my original company. And both the amount was around 340 CHF / month!!!
F. U. C. K.
And they want me to pay it in one amount till end of this year... so for 3 months aruond: 1500 CHF!!!
Of course, I have the money just for this!!!
F. U. C. K.
So, I called my agent, and he promised me to arrange everything, no worries...Hmm... I would like to see it.
And I already got a letter - a not very nice letter - from the office saying that I have to send them the copy of my insurance contract ASAP, otherwise bad things will happen... (I have to pay... and pay.. and pay...) before Christmas...
:S
So, tomorrow I have to talk to this office (in french) that I have insurance, I signed the contract, just everything is very slow here...)
It will be ok, if my French were great... or at least better than now.
Last week I wanted to reserve a table for 7 ppl.
I was not able to do this in french...
(ok, because it was not possible to do reservations, but anyways... )
Challenges... :)))
I love them! :D
I am so happy that tomorrow is Monday.

Perfect weekend ;)
It is amazing, how great weekend I had! :D
Ok, I was a bit disappointed that the Grenoble trip was canceled, I wanted to go to Grenoble, to see that city, and the office, and also visit Lyon again.
Anyways, next time! :)
So, Friday evening, after a long-long organization, we decided to have a drink at RDL, than go to a club.
So, we drunk at Ahmed's place..for some changes...than went to Ahmed friend's party.
He was first at Hotel Kempinsky,
Well....we had to dress up really. Really nice clothes, black&white style almost, not just simple party clothes.
This Hotel is like the Hilton, or sth like that. So fancy place.
Common...having a party in a Hotel???
No way.
So we decided to leave...and went to Java.
Nikolai was great, he can't stop shouting that I am not over 25...if u are not over 25, you can not enter... Thanks to my student ID...I don't think so that the security checked it that well... so theyl et me in too..
And otherwise I knew the "password"... We were with Ahmed's friend... :)
The party was ok, I mean i have been greater party, but it was fun.
Ok, don't count the fact that a whisky&coke is 26 CHF, or gin tonic same price... :)
Anyways, it was great. I had lot of fun with my party girls, Julia and Emilia... :)
I named Emilia as a party girl too... She deserves it. :)))
But that can stay a party secret. ;)
Than on Saturday I went SHOPPING!!!
I wanted to buy sth to my bathroom, to make it a bit nicer...not to look like as a first-use "toytoy toilette"...
Anyways, at the end I ended up buying everything but carpets, or things for the bathroom.
Than adhoc idea came, let's hang out with the RDL guys...so first we wanted to watch a movie...im a real real movie theater... :)But than we had to realize that in Geneva the movies are not with subtitles... :(
Almost all of the movies were in french... :(
So, we went to an Indian restaurant.
The service was creepy, but otherwise I liked the food... :)
I ate sth chicken, the food was spicy but otherwise great!!!
Saturday evening: HEI party: the party is close to my place, like 3 minutes or so, so we went home, start drinking there, than went to the negihbourhood...
Ahh..the music was shitty...seriously some brazilien music.
When they finsihed, we wanted to change for a DJ...but the stupid crowed didn't want to. :S
Anyways, I had fun with my flatmates, and RDL guys.
Than Sunday - the best part! :)
We went to a place called CALM...it is a nice restaurant - café, for eating BRUNCH.
You know the whole idea of Sunday brunch...
You wake up late, go out to a nice restaurant eat a lot, really a lot, and while you are eating, you are chatting, sitting in a nice room, listening to music, perfect... :)
Except that we (ok, I) couldn't make the reservation, and we were 7...we had to wait almost 40 minutes to get in the place, and than they forget some of our orders... it was fantastic.
The restaurant is really nice, it really has the atmosphere for having a perfect brunch.
We ate quiesch...it is something like a bread, or rather pizza...with vegetables and cheese on it.
Great! :)
With omlett, chicken salat, pancakes, orange juice, hot choclate,....
oohh...nyammm... :)))
We ate sooo mucchh.... :)))
Yes, because we have this thing, to share the food.
So than we can eat more, we pay less, and still we can taste more thing, and it is specially good if you don't know what you want to order. Or when you can't decide.
Than we went playing bowling.
And 'csocsó' . :)
Than in the evening we cooked together... :)))
Ok, I brought the chicken, and went for bread and cheese.
(and did the dishes...a little bit)
The rest was Ikran and Leonard. :)
Leonard cooked onion soup!!!
Ohh...amazing!!!
When u are ready with the soup, you pour it into small plates, than put bread in it, and pour a lot lot of cheese.
Than put this whole thing to the owen for a while.
Oh... :DDD
Ikran made sth very spicy with all the vegetables, the chicken, and the "Ikran rice".
:)))
Photos later on... :D
Oh, I love eating.
And I ate so much.
And the best was that we were together, had fun, talked a lot and laughed a lot.
:)
Thank you guys for this weekend! :)
Hope yours was also as good as mine... :D
How was the party in Budapest?
Did you celebrate all the namedays, and everything? :)
The carpet is fine... ? :D
kisses

Wednesday - Movie night
I am happy that our intern committee is getting more and more active.
We have a new tradition instead of the Poker night. Wednesday is a Movie night.
We already did it twice, and already discussed the 3rd week. So... it is definitely a tradition
We meet 20:30 at Rue De Lyon, so we can start the movie "sharp" at 21:00. :)
We occupied Nicolai's room, his room is the best...perfect for movies...
Seriously, he has got a bed like "baldachin", it is really nice, romantic... There is a fireplace in the room... ok, it is not working, but within the fireplace there are candles....and his screen saver is "fire"... so we may have the impression for a romantic fireplace.
Today we watched A mighty heart
Have you seen that? It is based on a true story, a U.S journalist was kidnapped in Pakistan, and her wife wants to rescue him.
It is after 9/11, with all the terrorist activities and things like that. India is involved, Pakistan, etc.
It is a bit heavy but good movie...

Work, work, work
Life is nice, life is fantastic:
- Well done.
- Good job.
- Your commitment and dedication is visible.
- I like the way you work.
- Don't worry, even me, I do make mistakes...
- Don't worry, nobody will blame you...you are just an intern
Ok, ok, of course I know, I know that I am just an intern, so I do not have that much responsibility...
But still, it is me...
I am like this... if I do something I want to do it perfectly.
I can not accept mistakes.
And even if I know that is not my fault, that there is sth I can not change, because the guy who worked before me, he did it...still... it is our team's fault, so it is my fault...
And I am worried...and stressed...
Anyways, it is just me.
This period will be over soon, than I can take it a bit easier...
(Heeey....it was me who asked more tasks from the boss...so stop complaining...)
But, Murphy's Law:
- I am not going to Grenoble, to my romantic chataue...
There is a French strike now going on...so no train is available...or at least not for business trip...
Anyways, next time! :D

Do-It photos
Here are some of the photos from the conference: Do-It
LC Geneva
Can you believe we were around 50 people?
Big LC...cool people... :)
Official Dinner on Saturday with the Geneva -interns
Anthony (Ireland), Emilia (Spain), Me (Hungary) ;), Ikran (Sweden), Zuzana (Czechia) & Ahmed (Egypt)
With Emilia posing for Anthony... ;)
With our well prepared masks...Emilia, Ikran, Zuzana & me
No, seriously, we spent like 2 days to make our masks... :)
Mine is pretty simple...and maybe masculine a little bit...
The whole weekend... it was snowing!!! :)))
So, we played snowfighting:
Me, the poor, naive girl went to help my friend...
And my "friend" was tricky a little bit:
But seriously, the snow was great:
Good night, swiss dreams... ;)

Romantic chateau in France
I am going to a business trip with Peter to France.
We got a new boss and he is based in Grenoble.
It is amazing, how everything is well-organized.
We had to register to an intern site, where they asked our preferences.
What kind of room do you want to stay: King :), Double, Twin or Don't Care, Smoking, non-smoking, etc.
What kind of car do we want:
as default it was set up: automatic gears... :)
For flying: what kind of food do we like: There were like 15 different opportunity: low-calorie, low-fat, vegetarian, (all kind of vegetarian), Chinese, Mediterranean, or Regular... :D
And the hotel, where we reserved our places is surrounded in the mountains, it is a castle, very romantic. :)
Or at least, that's what I can see from the photos... :)))
And if we are already in France, we will look around in Grenoble and also in Lyon... :)
If Orsi will have time/space for us... :D
So it means that I won't be here on Friday... oohhh... :S
now I can go and talk to my "almost-never-seen" flat mates.
I am looking forward to the Chateau trip. :)

DO-IT, 2007. 11. 7-9.
Aiesec Switzerland had its 2nd national/international conference this year. Do-It is basically for everybody!!!
For aiesecers in Hungary: One of the best place to go to an international conference is to go to a swiss one. It is very very international, professional, well- organized...
Just to see: In LC Geneva only 5 people out of 63 are "only Swiss". Only means 100% swiss. Everybody else is half of something, or mixture... Great to feel/see that.
But we had a kind of interesting conversation...you have to be very careful with the diversity...
For example if a black guy says after the question: Where are you from? that he is from CH, you never never ask: Ok, ok, but where are you seriously form??? Just because he is black...
About the aiesec content:
They had several agenda for several group of people: newie, leaders, TTT, goldie, returnee, intern...
And Dey was there...He was the chair.
Once he was also a chair at a Hungarian conference, Spring Planning, or something...
You know, the guy from NZ MCP, than Africa GN coordinator, and also PAI... So...great, great guy...
Well..actually he was a little bit disappointing...
Somehow he was not that motivating...at least for me... and also for the last morning plenary he couldn't wake up...
COMMEON!! Former PAI!!!
Ok, it happens, great party...but not to the CHAIR...who was a former PAI!!!
Idiot!!!
For interns, the track was not that well organized...I mean I got the point that we are adults, we are coming there for partying, but not just for that.
We want to get to know our LC, and also sth about Switzerland, funny habits to prove that the swiss people are not that boring... :), other interns, stories about work, hints & tips for the newcomer interns, etc.
Ok, we were not bored, because:
IT WAS SNOWING!!!!
The mountains, the trees, the small streets... it was amazing... :)))
Beautiful!!! :)
As I don't have any camera, I have to wait till the others put their photos on Facebook... :)
With Ikran and Emilia we went crazy... :)
It is PICTURETIME!!! :)))
"Follow the river, river, river...
TO GENEVAAA..."
(because basically the river in Fiesch will become once the Lake Geneva...)
So we were all the time singing this 2 lines... :D
And of course we were playing snowfighting... :)
We also had Masked ball party on Saturday after Official Dinner. :)
Everybody in nice clothes... :)))
It was great!!!
Photos later... :)))
So, it was good.
I am again very sorry for missing the Global Village...Maybe next time I will go earlier to the conference...just to represent/present Hungary. :)
On Sunday we played with the other interns some drinking games...without alcohol, but still... :)
For example "Bumm"... but instead of "Bumm", everybody had to say any word which comes to his/her mind...It is a cool game, you can get to know what the others are thinking about...or maybe not, as on Sunday everybody is very tired. :)
And...we also played the "Alphabet" ... it is like counting, but with words...
So, I try to explain. The first person has to say a word starting with A, the next one with B, etc till Z, than starts again... and if somebody says an animal, the order changed..the circle goes to other way around...
It sounds easy...but commeonn!!! :)))
And, the funniest was, we had a native english speaker from the US.... she always said a word that nobody understood!!! :DDDD
Anyways, crazy people!!! :)
And also some very very interesting conversation about cultural differences, love, men-women relationships... seriously, challenging my worldview! :)
And also there was a session about the internships, what is the value added in an aiesec internship... :)
So, it was a wonderful weekend!!!
Not just because the "cute indians" had a bottle of JAGER!!!
:))))
Now I go and chase some photos... ;)
For aiesecers in Hungary: One of the best place to go to an international conference is to go to a swiss one. It is very very international, professional, well- organized...
Just to see: In LC Geneva only 5 people out of 63 are "only Swiss". Only means 100% swiss. Everybody else is half of something, or mixture... Great to feel/see that.
But we had a kind of interesting conversation...you have to be very careful with the diversity...
For example if a black guy says after the question: Where are you from? that he is from CH, you never never ask: Ok, ok, but where are you seriously form??? Just because he is black...
About the aiesec content:
They had several agenda for several group of people: newie, leaders, TTT, goldie, returnee, intern...
And Dey was there...He was the chair.
Once he was also a chair at a Hungarian conference, Spring Planning, or something...
You know, the guy from NZ MCP, than Africa GN coordinator, and also PAI... So...great, great guy...
Well..actually he was a little bit disappointing...
Somehow he was not that motivating...at least for me... and also for the last morning plenary he couldn't wake up...
COMMEON!! Former PAI!!!
Ok, it happens, great party...but not to the CHAIR...who was a former PAI!!!
Idiot!!!
For interns, the track was not that well organized...I mean I got the point that we are adults, we are coming there for partying, but not just for that.
We want to get to know our LC, and also sth about Switzerland, funny habits to prove that the swiss people are not that boring... :), other interns, stories about work, hints & tips for the newcomer interns, etc.
Ok, we were not bored, because:
IT WAS SNOWING!!!!
The mountains, the trees, the small streets... it was amazing... :)))
Beautiful!!! :)
As I don't have any camera, I have to wait till the others put their photos on Facebook... :)
With Ikran and Emilia we went crazy... :)
It is PICTURETIME!!! :)))
"Follow the river, river, river...
TO GENEVAAA..."
(because basically the river in Fiesch will become once the Lake Geneva...)
So we were all the time singing this 2 lines... :D
And of course we were playing snowfighting... :)
We also had Masked ball party on Saturday after Official Dinner. :)
Everybody in nice clothes... :)))
It was great!!!
Photos later... :)))
So, it was good.
I am again very sorry for missing the Global Village...Maybe next time I will go earlier to the conference...just to represent/present Hungary. :)
On Sunday we played with the other interns some drinking games...without alcohol, but still... :)

Just in a rush...
Tomorrow after work I am leaving to a conference...to an aiesec conference, to DO-IT.
(FYI: This post contains strange abbreviations for those who are not familiar with AIESEC...)
Strange feeling.
I don't know why I am fighting against @ all the time. Aiesec had/has an important role in my life.
And still...inside me..it is a fight...
I know that it is a huge motivation, and everybody is going there to really feel, Yes, this is why I am working like hell every day...this is why I sacrificed sth...
(ok, can you see....maybe my point of view is wrong...completely... it is not about sacrifice sth... It's up to you!
And this motivation part should be shown to the newies...
BUT.... It 's me... who is always making things more and more complicated...
Anyways, now I don't want to go in deeper...maybe it is better if I don't think...just let it go...and we will see....
I have a mask for the party...But I so miss you, Sütty and your creativity.... :DDD
Seriously!!! :)
so, see you guys on monday... or sunday evening..hiopefully full of energy and hopes and plans and motivation... that is usually what the conferences used to give me... and of course i meet always cool people!!!

HP Product Day
On Monday we had the PSG and IPG Product Day in the office...
Seriously...it was amazing!!!
This event was about our products, it was an exhibition, we got the chance to see almost all our new products, lap tops, printers, touch sensitive screens, new photo printers, huge lap tops, or small ones, the ones those screen can be moved, revolvable screens.. or whatever it is called... :)
There was a quiz as well... I knew all the answers... ;) NOT...but hope i will win sth...don't need to be big one, a camera would be enough... :D
And also I managaed to see our new table.
It is really a table, designed for living room... but the top of the table is basically a huge touch sensitive screen....so the whole table itself is 1 giant computer...the legs of the table consist of 6 computer... :)
Anyways, the screen is awsome!!!
It is not that perfect and welldesgined...yet...you can choose a photo, frame it, drag the size, choose music...
Ok, it is true that Microsoft has already developed that kind of table 1 year ago or so... :)
They use it New Yor or Las Vegas or somewhere in the US in bars...
You can order from the table, pick up your drink form the menu simply just touching the table... cool... :)
21th century! :)
Amazing!
On the other side it was great to see what are exactly our products that I should analyze... Shame on me..and not just me...but we discussed it with my colleagues too that we do not really know about our products...just that it is which PL, which lib item goes to which metric description, etc.
But here is the real business thing.. :)
Later on, in December there will be an HP Employee Xmas shopping day too... so, just let me know about your wishes.. :)
Hope the wheel of luck will help me to win sth there too... ;)
Please let me share with you one of our huge marketing campaign running now...

If you really want something...
I can not believe I missed the friday party...
Everything started...well...when exactly?
Maybe 2 weeks ago, when I was doing nothing just working every day till the office closes???
When I was not listening to my boss, saying that this small cold could be a virus, ro sth serious???
But you know me..it is just clod...nothing...i drink tea and it will be over...well...apparently not...
So shame on me...
I went through the whole week, managed to lead a meeting, deliver everything before the deadline...it was so exciting...and yes...my battery is not 100%...
:((
So bad...
So on friday my boss sent me home...how could he do that?
anyways, probably he was right...i needed to relax...relax a lot...basically today i couldn't get out of my bed...serioulsy... i ate only tonight...at 22...before i couldn't handle anything...
hope by monday i will recover...
The only thing I regret...is the friday night.. i was so looking forward to meet the crazy dancing girls...
:(((
Anyways, i will check the photos...
:(
and next week we have do-it...the conference... :)
cool!!!
