Still updating...

Monday

Today held in store another surprise. Joe received a call around 9:15AM telling him he had won 5 VIP passes to last night’s festivities at the Barasti Beach Stadium. So in literally one week we had won two radio competitions. We started jumping up and down in the office and it really lightened the mood to what at the point had been a pretty rough morning. Yesterday we got to put in some shipments and update the trackers and stuff and I had to continue to put together some ideas for the brochure. We also had a couple of meetings that seemed to take up a large portion of the day as well. We also walked through the new warehouse to check and see how the construction there is going and by what I can tell (not a construction worker), it’s looking pretty good.

So last night Me, Joseph, and Eddy went to Barasti to sit in the VIP lounge. Eddy is a soccer player from Canada who is on my summer league team. This lounge had really sick bean bag chairs a little bar and carpet and lighting and the whole bit. Not only that but it over looked the general area and the two bars in the dome so we had the best seats in the house. We got ten free drinks and a platter of food, which by the way was pretty darn good. We watched the entire game of Italy vs. Paraguay and then called it a night. I have to say I could get used to this whole VIP thing, if only I could ever really afford it lol.

Tuesday

It’s pretty much beginning to be the same old, same old around here with work and all. The wake-up alarm in the morning is getting harder and harder to get up to. I blame that mostly on the world cup because the late night games are starting to take their toll on me. Work was, well it was work today and we have been real busy with shipments and receipts of goods over the past week. Still work for me continues to drag on during the day. We still haven’t gotten anything for the office so it’s kind of bland with all white walls and stuff. Tonight was pretty relaxed night. I and Joe went to the gym to get our ping pong on, and then I played some soccer in the gym while Joe went and worked out. I would rather play some soccer than lift weights any day. After that we went back out to our usual hangout at the Lighthouse to grab some food and some soccer. Once again we were up till 12:30, but hey its world cup time so we have to deal with it I guess.

Wednesday

It was rather busy today as we were filling out reports and going to meetings. There have been some changes in the procedures around here so we had some meetings today to go over all of them. Still our jobs done really change they just are tweaked ever so slightly in the way we fill out things or who we forward them to. We all went out for lunch today which was pretty good we had some hummus and faroush with some pita bread. Also there was some chicken on top of the hummus which made for some good eating. I am still working on the brochure along with some stuff for Jesuit in the fall. I mix it in every now and then when I have some lay time which has been frequent the past couple days.

Tonight was Wednesday night which meant football. I was excited to play with the world cup and everything going on and it was the final two weeks of this section of the summer season so I was running on energy hoping we could top the league with a couple of victories. That didn’t seem to happen. Our defense got ripped apart tonight and we gave up a lot more than we scored. There wasn’t much I could do about it as there were a lot of breakaways and chances from point blank range that they just fired in. The best I could do was dive and hope I could get a tip on it. Some of them I did…but we still lost. After, I meet Joe and Rami at Freddo’s to get some food and watch France get beat by Mexico. I had a good laugh at France loosing. I guess karma is coming back to bite them in the butt.
