Feeling like an alien in the planet Posh.

As you can know, I started to work in a bank recently. I work in a department related to mortgages, consumer loans and all kind of financial and insurance products and the life here is quite calmed. Apart of my excellent timetable, we have a lot of breaks for coffees probably because normally we don’t have so much tasks now and besides because I don’t have computer user and access to data, I can’t work and I spend (probably waste) time reading surveys, briefings and power point presentations. Indeed, it’s quite boring but not only for these reasons. The main reason is I feel like a being from another world (well, that’s true if you consider where I live) when everybody seem to be upper-class people. What can a penniless buddy like me speak with them? The point is I feel much hesitant and strange probably because it has been a drastic change from my former company’s work environment and I don’t know them so well and besides we have so much time to chat.


He wasn't so much posh in the old times

I am not going to stay so much time there but I would like to obtain a good experience from this job but I don’t know if I am going to fit in it. Anyway, I will try to do my best while I am having a look at this book.



Take care and bye for now.

PS: Anastasia was quite angry because she can’t stand reading my post using the language of Shakespeare. For me, as you know (or you should know), writing in English is only an exercise because it’s a funny way to practice it but considering this complaint, I will try to write a precise translation into the language of Cervantes. It will take a bit more time but probably it could help some people to understand better what I try to express and that can correct my mistakes (as you can read, I commit a lot of them in each post). But it'll start on the next post.

Que lo único que digo es que un diario como este se debería escribir en la lengua materna del que lo escribe. Por mí no lo traduzcas, que para algo me tienen que servir mis dos cursos de 400
horas de inglés que me metí "palbody".
Y por cierto, que tú eres tan rico como los demás que están allí, que cobrarán su sueldo como tú.

Besos.

epa tio..
yo también tengo movimiento en el curro, pero en fin, c'est la vie..
al final es hay que tener suerte, y encontrar algo estable para poder tener experiencia y luego especializarte creo que es fundamental.
no te desanimes, que seguro que sale algo que te gusta y donde te valoren porque el que vale, vale...

sobre el idioma, eres un cachondo en español o en inglés (la foto de blair es la caña).
siempre puedes escribir elgaine en español y abrir otro más técnico (tipo nuevadialectica) en inglés, y si lo haces me invitas que estoy dispuesto a participar.
un abrazo,
