As I write this I try to keep my eyes open so that my body won't suddenly fall asleep and miss the tube I'm supposed to catch in order to trek the one hour over to Heathrow Airport.
It is 4:07 am and I feel like I have been to the outer most corners of the work world. In the short months that I've been here I think I could have easily gained 20 gray hairs. I have tried not to complain about work thinking things would get better but it seems everyday bring about another unpleasant experience. It's not my nature to wine specially not about my own decisions but as I lay in bed trying to think of the positives of my move I find my jaws clenching and my body aching to get back home. This could be the holiday blues, or the wrapping up of 2008, in any case I am done and more than ready to be home. London and I have had a strange relationship since I moved.
The city itself I love as a city. I respect its history and love the fashion but for some reason it isn't for me. No se me parece que la latina dentro mio no aguanta el frio o lo gris que es la ciudad. Es triste en cierto modo porque se nota la diferencia que hace el sol en la vida de las personas. Se nota como todo el mundo camina con un paso rapido empujandote al tratar de llegar al tube, o empujandote mientras tratan de hacer las compras en cualquier tienda... he visto que es igual. Pero creo que mi suerte de siempre haber estado al rededor de personas bien amigables y de venir de una familia tan warm hearted que me cuesta acostumbrare a vivir en un pais donde una sonrisa es mas dificil de encontrar que una persona con un tan.- Ok that was a bit of a joke or a 4:13am tangent but I guess all I have to say is 2008 in London has been rough.
I found out recently that I won't be moving to Abu Dhabi until mid 2009- I will be here until AT LEAST May. And when my boss asked why I wanted to get out there so bad I wanted to scream out because that's where I'm supposed to be going, that was my original plan in any case I don't know if I'm upset about having to stay in london or because I am genuinely upset that things here don't even seem to go according to plans. E-mail sent are sent in a reactive manner at I think at this point on this Friday Morning I am spent. I am ready to be home with my family and do nothing for two weeks. I think everyone feels this around the holidays. Its a natural shut down of the body. It's a natural reaction to the nearing end. Speaking of. Happy Christmas to all and all the best for the new year. Maybe one day I'll make it out to Abu Dhabi. Maybe not. It's all TBD at this point. :) stay tuned to 2009
