mexikan

Why this? Well I am horrified and in shock! Really!! It is so strange. I am used to be in places with nice people, clean streets, business men in bicycles, nice cars, etc... But today I left my confort zone. I walked one street away of my neighborhood and it was chaos: poverty, homeless men, litter and dirt, fat people everywhere,
100-years old public transportation, food sold on the street, crazy!!! It is like other Mexico!!

Finally had some time to relax.... so needed!

I am super busy during the weekends. Want to guess one of the many things I do? Want a clue?

Besides work, I spend most of the time at the gym.... well, when I am awake because I am not counting the multiple hours I spend sleeping. Ok, I go to the gym and I love it!! I do weights, run and swim.. It is sooo good and I am liking it! I feel exhausted after those 6 days of exercise a week. But it is my distraction and I can really tell it is working hahahaha... It's fun!!! =P

This week I am adding something to my daily excercise ... I am doing something that I love!! And now I have someone that is coaching me to get back to my previous physical condition... And I love the picture below.. It just captures everything that I feel about swimming!!!!

I have been very busy! So I haven't had much time to write.... but I will do it soon.... I promise =)

Great Job Gerardo!! Excellent comment from the customer.

I am happy!!

I was eexhausted!
I had so many changes in my routine this week and they were not good to me...
First of all I woke up at 5 to talk to my friends in Europe, or 5:30 to be at the gym at 6am so I can have some social life after work.
And then, I had so many things to do at work that I was stressed out and always busy. Seems that I am finally working and the trainig period is over.. Finally!! And I am excited about that.... But this is killing me... well, at least I have the weekend to rest and lay down in the couch and watch movies =)

Well, this was more productive week!! For the first time I got to help a customer!! Probably it was a small thing but this means that I will start doing what I should be supposed to do. I am so excited!

And I also wrote a solution to the problem which might be published in the support website. Of course I will be doing this much more often but for now... this is a big thing hehehe

Ohh and I am happy!! I got a nice postcard from my friend Anne that was sailing in Greece =)

Well, I got home last sunday and realized that someone had forced the lock to get into my appartment. That was not fun at all.... I was out and I came back and my laptop was missing.. and some money too!! I am so upset, especially because I think it was the locksmith that installed me a safety lock a couple of weeks ago. My guess? he didn't install it properly on purpose so he could break into my appartment. I guess he realized I didn't have many valuable things so he only took an old laptop with an old battery =S But still!! Am I supposed no to trust anyone then??

As soon as I told my parents then drove down to help me and get the door and the lock fixed while I was at work. It is nice to have that kind of help. Oh, and I also got a new laptop hehe.

Well, that was fun..

I needed to go home and it was interesting because it was the first time I took that road by myself. What did I learn? Well, people seriously don't know how to drive.... Come on, going super slow on the high speed lane? Or being stuck in the traffic because on the other side of the road there were the remains of a small crash and people slowed down to see?? Ahhhh so annoying..... And on the way back I spent at least 30 min at 60kph because there were too many cars at a very slow speed in front of me.... although that could be probably because it was raining cats and dogs hehe

But overall, it was ok. I managed to avoid most of the traffic so that made the drive more pleasant.

Well, what do I do for lunch?

Since I only have 1 hr, I always bring my own meal to work. I usually prepare pasta because I need a lot of carbohidrates before hitting the gym and.. it is also very easy and fast to prepare.

So what I do is this: I go outside and sit in one of the late 1800s/ early 1900s benches close to my work place and sit in front of the monument to the Mexican Independence and enjoy the view! How fun is that?

Well, I haven't done much. Appart from my routine of going to work and to the gym, not many things happen in my life. I am still training myself and doing exercises about the company programs (mainly Aspen HYSYS and Aspen Exchange Design Rating) so I am having fun and I am liking it.

One of these days we were surprised by some people on our windows.. yeah, they were cleaning!! It was necessary after the lovely weather from the past days but it was funny to suddenly be on the computer and then see a person right in front of us... especially because we work on the 10th floor! hahaha

Not many things happened this week. I was busy, busy and busy hahaha. During weekdays I was at work. We had a tutor from Argentina tat they sent from the Houston office to train us on how to do supporrt and how to use the internal softwares to do business operations such as taking cases, finding solutions, reporting defects on the program, make calls, etc... it was fun and useful. And we got to see a different point of view for tech support.

We went out on thursday night with him to a restaurant around the area and it was fun. And we got to join him for lunch twice during the week.

I continue going to the gym and on saturday I couldn't do laundry because tha washing machine is broken and they are repairing it. I am waiting for some piece to come on monday or tuesday. On the positive side, I have cable now!! It wa sgood to finally lay down on the couch and watch some TV. There are some days where I am just exhausted and I don't want to do anything at all!!! I am so happy we have the weekends!! ;)
