at your marks… go!

My keenness to move abroad is not something new, but it’s not something bond to happen in all of a sudden. Usually it’s something that takes time, consideration, preparation and lot’s of search from the available options. Usually.

But this last few days, my life changed a-lot. So, let’s see.

During this week I had to choose between quitting my nice job (with a 48 hours notice - not a very nice thing) against turning my life into a big bold question mark. I’ve chosen the question mark :)

This next two weeks I’ll be attending to an international management workshop in Porto and only by the end of it, I’ll be told what country/city/company I’ll work for 9 months later this year. In between, I’ll be working for about 6 weeks somewhere in Portugal. Location also unknown at present date.

To sum up: this year I’ll live in at least in 3 different (unknown) cities and work at two different (also unknown) companies.

Oh, and in the middle of all this, I was invited to go to a TV show to speak about my postcrossing project. How I will fit that in the middle of all this changes is to be discovered. More details soon :)

rainy day

Faz uma pessoa 200Kms para ir buscar o rodas que ficou a arranjar, porque está a fazer falta, para ter um furo no caminho. Elas não vêm sós… é mesmo aos magotes.

Bem, pelo menos aprendi a trocar um pneu sozinho.

fim de semana

A piada do fim de semana:

e a desgraça:

  • o meu rodas deixou-me a pé e foi para o hospital;

conclusão:

  • uma desgraça nunca vem só.

2005+1

” If all the Smarties eaten in one year were laid end to end it would equal almost 63,380 miles, more than two-and-a-half times around the Earth’s equator.”

From 100 things we didn’t know this time last year.

Happy 2006 :)
