31 the office
the horror!!! there's am american version of the british comedy series The Office on television. it sucls. it is not funny at all. some jokes are just literally the same as in the original series and the office itself also looks the same but it does not make it funny at all because it just is not believable. i don't know why they had to make an american version of that show. it's crap.
the actor who is starring in the office has a big comedy hit in theatres now. i haven't seen it yet but i hear it is funny. the 40y old virgin. reviews were bad but the people who have seen it found it very funny.
but talking about MY office. i went to the office and found out that the company i am working for is a sinking ship. you cannot believe how badly organised it is and in what deep shit they are in. they don't find tour guides, they don't find drivers, they don't find hotels. the company has downsized by 2/3 i guess. it has changed a lot in 6 years time. although some people still work there.
i was contacted by a guy in june who wanted me to come over. he quit in july. a girl took over but she quit in august. then a new guy took over and got everything set for me but guess what. that guy has quit too now. so in the period of 4 months i have had four different contact persons. the person running field ops now is christine. yes, piet, angie, ann and dave: christine. she's back.
to my old colleagues:
guess who's still working for ATI? some asian guy named John who used to work at customer service and at the furama hotel. you know who i am talking about right? well i had totally forgotten about him but he remembered me and had the typical LA cry when he realised it was me: Oh my god, nico, is it realy you, oh my god. we haven't met in ages. that is so cool. what are you doing here. my god. i cannot believe you are here...... add some 30 more lines to t his and you get the picture of how he reacted... funny thing: he still keeps in touch with frank of all people.
anyways. it was really weird going back to the office after six years. it's funny how some things never change. like the vendor car in front of the building and the drivers on the shuttle busses. you remember the columbian drug dealer driver? i have seen him. i haven't seen Hernan though. oh well... memories.. i passed by our apartment block too. safeway doesn't exist anymore. but peppy's is still there. i miss my bike......
