Working at Spain

Hi again. Sorry for being a bit late.

I'm not going to write everyday, I must tell you, but I'll do it as soon as I can and wants. The fact is I work all day and when I arrive home sometimes I don't feel like writing, if you know what I mean, I hope you will. But today I feel like it, so I will.

As i told you before I have a lot of new experiences, people, habits to write about. I told you about this guy whom I called (and I still name him like that) "the fat bastard". He's still being a fat bastard, but he's getting better, or I believe I'm being less critical with him. The fact is he's being naughty, disgusting and sometimes even unbearable but I noticed everything's just because he wants to be my friend and that's why he's behaving like he does. He's married, but I don't know with whom, she might be a saint or worst than him, as he's always talking about nasty sex matters and his porn film collection wich seems to be really large. The most amazing is he shares it with his father in law, wich I believe is just unthinkable. I guess you know what kind of guy he is, but he's not a bad person, or at least not yet.

Let's talk about something different, let's talk about my company. It's a big amercian company, but the Spanish branch. So when the main company is efficient, and loyal with employees our mother house in Spain is another whore house (I'm sorry for being rude, but that's how we'll say it here). I mean, everybody hates everybody, there's no good bosses at all (except for one or two whom I never met) and none of the employees has good talks about them. My own, in fact, expends half the day sleeping, and I really mean sleeping, at her desk. She does it really well, so if you look at her you don't really notice, you have to get close to her, as she has her hand on the mouse, and her head up. But her eyes are closed and sometimes if something awakes her she jumps on her chair. My work mates also don't really like her, but it seems they don't like any boss at all, they are really bitchy if you know what I mean.

And also I still don't have a desk neither a computer and not even a chair. So I just wait somebody leaves her/his desk to use a PC for a while, unless somebody is on holidays, then I have a desk for some days. So it's being 2 months and I'm still like the first day. I might say they also call me "el becario" wich means I'm a student not being payed, wich is not true at all, I'm another employee and that really anoyies me, and also they don't give me enough work, wich I could be doing, and sometimes even better than them (I'm sorry for being arrogant, but it's damm true). So I have to expend 9 hours a day doing nothing, wich is horrible for the kind of guy I am, and also I could be bad for my future. I hoped it'll change but today I receive some news.

I'm being moved to another department, in the same place, but a different department. That means I have to meet new people, and also I have to forget everything I learned and the realtions I made. It's like starting again. I just hope at the new department they'll treat me better and give some work. The problem is my boss (the sleepy one) told me about that change but she likes me and she wants me to be back soon, but her boss wants me to be at the other one because there's more need for programmers there. I'm just impacient for the change, and for the next one because I'm sure they'll change me again.

I'll mantain you informed about this and all the new events in my recent life.

Farewell.

Manoel.
