Work Work Work Work Work Work

I can already hear the song by reading the title 😆

Vacations are over and today I had to go back to the office, not the most thrilling thing for me to do since I prefer remote work a 100% of the time but well, at least I get to work from home twice a week and my commute is not bad, I even get to have lunch at home.

Talking with my coworkers about our week off I realized that even though I was off from Dec 23rd until Jan 2nd, I have not done anything I originally planned to do during the holidays.  Initially my plans were to just stay home and rest for 10 straight days, no traveling and no major activities besides going to the gym, these plans were scrapped as soon as I invited my nephew for the Christmas holidays.

He arrived on Christmas Eve, and ever since that day, I have not stopped doing stuff and being busy.  I may have been off from work, but I have been doing everything but rest and relax. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining but I just made the realization that I actually need some time off again, very soon, just to relax.

As my manger says, office day was "not too bad", got things moving ahead already and got some time to bond and talk with colleagues.  One of them actually gave me the heads up about "cheap" flights to Norway and requested some assistance in helping him plan his holidays over there.  Won't lie, I got very excited with this request, traveling is one of those things I really love to do, and it doesn't matter if it is for work or personal.

I've been lucky enough to have visited Norway many times, I think I could finally be useful at something!! 😅 the only "bad" thing about this request is that I do get a bit envious/jealous but in a nice way (if that even possible), I'm really happy if someone is able to travel and get to enjoy the many things this world has to offer but at the same time, I do get the itch to travel myself.

But hey, don't tell anyone, even though I do LOVE traveling, I do get anxious about it lately, for whatever reason, the older I get, the more anxious I get with flying and at the same time I over think about my furriest companions: Taco and Pepe.

Day 18 Sitting down on the computer a bit earlier today particularly to prevent rushing into my ideas because it's too late and tiredness.   Every morning when I sat in my car to drive to work, I normally put my office address on the GPS to prevent (or mentally prepare) for any delay along the way and as "music" I tend to either be listening to "Elvis Duran and the Morning Show" or listening to some YouTube video. My radio, for whatever reason, sometimes changes the audio input automatically and starts playing the music I have on the CD player (yes, CD player in 2023) but I could never be happier with the music that starts playing.  I have inserted the album "Minutes to Midnight" by Linkin Park which I honestly think is my all-time favorite band. You see, when I discovered them, it was at the very beginning of career when "One Step Closer" started to creep into MTV and MTV Latino and I instantly fell in love with the song.  In general, I cons...

I'm 37 but I act 22

Day 79 Social media and their stupid quizzes and posts.  Today I went over my memories in Facebook and found one post from March 2009 where a friend of mine shared.  It was a lame quiz and based on the answers you are supposed to put the subject as: I'm (how old you are) but I act (what you got on the test). Below the quiz and my answers as of today: How old do you act? [x] You know how to make a pot of coffee [ ] You keep track of dates using a calendar [x] You own a credit card [x] You know how to change the oil in a car [x] You've done your own laundry [x] You can vote in an election [x] You can cook for yourself [x] You think politics are interesting(George Bush and a shoe!) TOTAL SO FAR: 7 [ ] You show up for school late a lot [x] You always carry a pen/pencil in your bag/purse/pocket [x] You've never gotten a detention [ ] You have forgotten your own birthday [ ] You like to take walks by yourself [x] You know what credibility means, without looking it up [x] You dri...

Remembering this day in particular

Day 2 Today has been just a regular day as any other day with the advantage that it was also a holiday, is always great not to work on a Monday.  By now, the day was going to end, and I almost failed to write a few paragraphs but here I go.  Nothing major to write about and I won't be going through my daily activities for the sake of writing and bore you with many trivial and unimportant things like: "I cook this" "I went to this place" "I hanged out with..." bla bla bla. I think the major event for today is my 15th anniversary of moving to the USA.  I almost forgot about it but Facebook reminded me of past posts and well, it was a nice reminder because it made me think on how much I've accomplished since moving here, from gaining total independence from my parents to creating a life, that, with its ups and downs, is at a point of relative pure joy.  It does, however, makes me think of the things I've left behind and the many sacrifices, worrie...
