Madrid: I'm back!

02/03/2011


Yesterday's flight (Bâle-Madrid) was smooth and quite quick as I slept a lot. Smara came to welcome me at the airport and we both went to the office. I was very happy to be back in AIM and to see all my ex colleagues. I left them only a month ago but it seems like years ago...Life is strange sometimes ! I'm a bit angry with them... They didn't want to give me some work LOL !... Well yes Smara asked me a tiny tiny tiny job : to spare her some time, she gave me some prices and I had to add 10%...hard job;) I felt a bit shameful to see them all working while I was writing/playing/reading on my computer !
I also met the new trainee, Vanessa, who is from the same French university : IUT Robert Schuman. It was nice to speak to her and we even found common friends...tiny world ! I warned her about the dreadful experience she is going to have at AIM : leaving them is going to be hard... at least it was for me. Ok ok I stop the emotionnal part :P

They organised a farewell cocktail for me.... or at least the Andalousian Turism Office had the good idea to organise a meeting-cocktail right on the night I was in Madrid...so thoughful of them LOL. I had to unpacke my bag to find something suitable to wear...I could hardly go there in jeans, walking shoes and T-shirt. Fortunately I had packed some formal clothes in case!
It was euh...how to say that kindly...well....we could say...a good lesson for Vanessa. We deserved them a price: The worst Cocktail of the history! The name speaks for itself! At least she was able to see all the errors that must NOT be made during a cocktail. But I had a great time with Natalie, Smara, Alba and Vanessa. We spoke a lot and it was nice to catch up with them.

We came back at the office around midnight...what the hell would we come back there ?...Hum...maybe because the frenchy girl forgot her cheese in the fridge...The only question I'm asking myself now : what will I forget at Houston !!:S Hopefully nothing but as we say : bad things happen in threes! Well let's see.
We finally got home where I had my private room and private bathroom...What else could I ask for ? I met her husband and her two superb cats : shame on me : I didn't take any picture of them !! But surely Smara has some and she will give me 1 or 2 so that I can show you those two little teddy bears...even if there are NOT bears :P
