You know that your job sucks when...

- You boss starts complaining before even saying good morning.
- At 7:29 am you are already pissed off.
- You dread the mornings.
- You daydream about working in a bureaucratic, boring 9-5 job.
- You´re told off for leaving a pen on top of a cooie box.
- After being told off for leaving a pen on top of a cookie box you have all these mental arguments with your boss with fun witty answers.
- Sadly, you never give any of these witty answers.
- Your boss uses every opportunity she has to make sure you remember your place.
- You cross down how many days you have left like a prisoner.
- You LIVE with your boss.

Friends, our family away from home

Being abroad has many perks, but a minor disadvantage: you can´t take your family with you most of the time. Whether you get along with them or not, they are your safety net, they´re always there for you. Which brings us to my point: Sometimes you can´t hve your bio family around you, but you can create a new one. The fun part of this is you get to pick all your relatives!
Having lived in 4 different countries I left friends or adopted family members scattered around the world, sometimes I don´t get to see them fr years, but you know they are there whenever you give them a call or send them an email. Technology makes it easier to keep in touch. But I´m going away from the point, my friends. The ones who I call when I´m upset at work, when I´m homesick, when I´m bored, when I can´t stand the freaking winter anymore, when I feel like screaming: why can´t he call me already?! They seem to know exactly what to say to make me feel better, even if all I want is someone to hear me cry on the other side of the line... Someone to have a drink with and talk about everything and nothing. Someone to take pictures wearing pj´s in the snow ... Thank you all for being there for me guys!
