The last four weeks.

This is the second time I have to work alone. My boss and workmate are on holidays and I don’t know if we will meet again because I finish before they arrive. I think they have been jerking me around because they have spoken a lot of times without me, taking decisions and so. I don’t know if I can remain in the saving bank but I don’t have confidence in that possibility. On the other hand, now I have a good relation with a new workmate who works for risks part in our division. He is mathematician, quite shy but well-intentioned (unlike the posh witches). This is a real relief because, at least, I have someone to speak about general things (not only about the cursed department’s people, kids, maids or clearance sales). Believe me: I have developed my abilities of patience and cynicism as a wall against these intolerable upper-class stupid attitudes.

Referring to holidays, nothing has been prepared. I don’t know what I am going to do but I think it’s time (suggestions admitted!!). We are thinking about Portugal, London or simply coast (mainly south). Anyway, I can’t take so many days because I will have to do job-hunting again and that’s quite transcendental for the following months.

Well, enjoy the summer and be good…

Nothing really happens.

It’s being a so quiet summer (until now). I do the same every day and there’s nothing new. I haven’t been answered from that company and I don’t what to think about it (they don’t say anything about and I think the process has been stopped until summer’s end). It’s no time for new jobs and I have to stay at my current one until the end of the contract’s date. I have been getting used to it during this time and well, it permits me enjoying all evening although I must wear suit (that’s the price).

Chained to the monotony.

I don’t have anything more to say. Life’s now a bit boring again but this situation is going to last little time (six weeks?).

Enjoy the summer.

I am still trying to change… but things are the same.

In this part of the year, when people are enjoying or planning their holidays, I can’t do anything of that. I don’t have days of holidays neither I don’t think of it (but this is not a relief). It is going to be another summer without holidays but I hope to seize weekends doing little escapes.

On the other hand, the ambient in my current job is still deteriorating, a little beyond from the last written situation (away from improving relationships). And I am still boring doing really nothing.

Well, finally I would to suggest a good film: “The Last King of Scotland”. It's a historical picture and biopic about Idi Amin (president of Uganda in the 70’s) based on his personal physician’s testimony. Close beside another interesting films about the African drama like “Hotel Rwanda”, “Blood Diamond” or “The Constant Gardener”, this story tells much about Western Countries’ responsibility in the current African problems, the black and white mentality’s confrontation, the horrible management and corruption in the African governments or even the lack of real solutions (so it can be understood better why there are more and more inmigrants from there year by year). Referring to film’s actors, Forest Whitaker is distinctly above the rest, with a wonderful interpretation (I recommend to watch it in its original version, appreciating his marked African accent). You can see a small video below these letters.

Well, enjoy the summer and take care.
