yep, this one is Chinese with a Japanese actor. My new favorite love story. Love doesn't need fireworks nor violins, nor men in lipstick.
Happy Monday, earthlings
PS _ I guess this will mark also the end of Lulu Nearlythere, as she is getting back there at last :)
my colleague, with whom I play lotto every now and then, has just shown me his numbers for Friday the 13th of December. Basically every one of the numbers he chose is one digit either short or over the winning one, every single number is one digit short (the first row on the picture is the winning numbers, the second row is his first game which was well off the mark but the third row under that one is the shocking one) I feel like crying. Surprisingly he's still smiling. What an outstanding human being.
I have a secret weapon at work, my little Buddha. When I am dealing with a particularly challenging caller, I rub my Buddha. Oopsy that sounds terrible, but in reality is very innocent, I just grab a good cloth and rub My Little Buddha in the picture, over and over. These days it shines like a diamond. At this rate I'll be getting a Buddha Genie come out and grant me my three wishes! I bet you guessed what the first one will be ... ;)
So Anita and I realise there is nothing we can do to be happy in the company we work for. Unfortunately, we work in the finance sector but what we would really enjoy doing is making people laugh. Before we leave the restaurant, our waitress comes to me and whispers: "can I tell you something?" Naturally, I say yes, intrigued. "You are terribly funny." She says. ... mision cumplida, Anita.
Do you want to know what happens when your dog nearly dies after hours waiting for your breakdown assistance to turn up in a very hot country? This happens, and I quote (the names are changed of course, except for "me". Please don't think us insensitive, in extremely stressful jobs such as emergency call centers it is quite common to slide into a comical conversation to try and mitigate the bad yuyus that arise sometimes) :
Sarita: "the guy had to perform CPR on the dog"
me: "Sorry ... the customer had to do CPR on their dog? how the heck do you do cpr on a dog?"
Fabian: "have you watched Something About Mary?"
Biggest Boss: "they didn't have to do cpr on the dog surely!!! how do you do cpr on a dog???"
Fabian: "have you watched Something about Mary?"
me: "I don't remember anyone carrying out cpr on a dog in Something About Mary???"
BIGGEST BOSS: "they didn't do cpr... the dog is staying with family!"
Sarita: "the dog is staying with its family???"
BIGGEST BOSS: "No! it was the wife"
me: "the dog's wife had CPR done on her???"
Fabian: "just watch Something About Mary and you will see how CPR is done with a dog!"
of course right then we had to check on youtube and sure enough:
It's Friday people!!!! have fun and for heaven's sake:
1/ don't travel with dogs around Europe in a car
2/ always take plenty of water and/or blankets in your cars if you do travel by car all over Europe
3/ if you can... DO NOT TRAVEL ALL AROUND EUROPE IN YOUR CARS!!!
4/ if all else fails DO NOT CALL MY EXTENSION AT WORK, thank you very much <3

Today I sang this song over and over and OVER in between calls, while reading job notes, hearing colleagues talk, having managers giving us orders, seeing commercial aircrafts pass by, enduring the hottest day of the year.
"Today I am thinking about...
things that are deadly"
it might have been hot but it also was the greyest day ever.
How do I know i am a RL witch? Because every time I use the printer at work for a personal document it gets stuck, right after I walk 'the green mile' repeating to myself 'it's going to get stuck... It's going to get stuck'
