Work Diaries (10): My Boss On Stage!

28 October 2004

Remember the INSAT party I talked about a couple of days ago! It was yesterday, my husband and I went.

Before […]

Work Diaries (9): Back to my cell :D

22 September 2004

I spent whole 3 weeks away from work. No work, no pressure, no deadlines, nothing. Just good time and plenty of fun. But the great vacation had to come to an end, and here I am back in my work cell. Once again, I’m trapped in an office with nothing to hear but the sound […]

Work Diaries (8): Just forget about it!

There is this hotel we were trying to get an agreement with to provide us with special room rates. So we contacted the marketing responsible in January 04.

Work Diaries (7): New music collection

06 August 2004

LOL! I really can’t stop laughing, this is so damn funny. Lol!Well, the thing is, my boss has this special taste in music. He only listens to Beethoven, Mozart and this kind of music. Every once in a while he’d play a new CD he got from a country he visited. And although I love […]

There is this client who is really important to our company. The majority of our work is with him. And I must say, my boss just LOVES having business with him, and he is so proud of the story when the relationship between them grew from just a dull formal professional relationship, into a close […]

Work Diaries (4): what the hell?!

25 June 2004

I remember when I got my first job in Tunisia, which lasted for 1 month only –thank God- I had so little things to do. Because others didn’t want to teach me things so that I wont replace them, on one hand, and because the whole work was going through a difficult stage on the […]

Work Diaries 2: the chase.

13 April 2004

For the last few weeks I’ve been working my head off on almost everything concerning the office. So basically I’d return home with figures, telephone numbers, faxes and emails playing in the background of my mind and driving me crazy. Then I have my usual housework, some cooking, and well, some TV watching if I […]
