Atlas Copco
Today was my first day at Atlas Copco, communication and marketing, no more theissen thank god!
I had my first meeting, in spannish! Where Paula told us what to do during the next week. My big job is to find 1050 addresses, and then write them on 1050 labels. Make 1050 boxes, put hats in them, put on the labels and send all of them. I have around 2 weeks to do that. Then Im also writing a column in the magazine they give out every month. Im going to write "did you know that...." something useful for you home or work or whatever.Like... "Did you know that avocado makes your skin smooth" or something like that... But then of course in spannish. October 12th we have a big breakfast at a hotel here somewhere and Im going to be the one who tells everyone welcome, this way please bla bla and right now Im putting together 30 atlas copco flags for the tabels and broshures for everyone. So there is a lot going on at the same time and Im doing it all by myself without any help!
My last day at theissen were last wednesday. After a whole day playing hearts on the computer I told Angela and Alberto there were nothing for me to do so they gave me thursday and friday off. But I think I might were even more bored at home because noone was home. Frankie had to study and when she didnt study she was at her boyfriends house. Thursday I did nothing the whole day and then I took lika a 3,5 hour long walk around here in Santiago. Looked in some stures and stuff lika that. At night we rented a movie, 500pesos (8 kr!). It was alright. Friday they told me we were clubbing but Frankie stayed home to study and Carolina went to her boyfriend sergio. So I did laundry a friday night!!! Saturday it was pretty much the same. Carolina were supposed to come home around 16 so we could walk around and look in some stores but she didnt come home untill 19.30. By then most of the stores were closed... But at ten saturday night we went to Sergio's house for dinner. His sisters husbands sisters husband were from spain and they were having a goodbye thing for him because he went back to spain sunday. So they had burritos, pisco, and all kind of things there. Everyone were like 27+ and 3 of them spoke english. One guy had lived in LA for 10 years, he grew up there. He was really nice but I think his girlfriend got a little bit mad after a while. But he promised me to show me some good partying here in chile! so hopefully he will do that soon. Then everyone danced and it was pretty fun after a couple of piscosours and beer. The closest I've been from partying for real since I came here. We came home around 6.30 and I thought we were going to walk up on a mountain, early in the morning, close by here, and visit the zoo and the church and everything but I suppose they changed plans. I think that was a pretty good idea... I dont think I would have felt that good at 8 in the morning... Carolina and I had lunch at Manuel's house instead and ate anticucho the rest of the day. And after that we went to the mall.
So it had been a kinda booooring 4 day weekend but it was ok I guess. I missed sweden and my friends... weeell weeell... At the lunch thing Fransiscos mom asked me if I wanted to go to the south with her and Fransisco, just wednesday and thursday and I thought that was a good oppurtunity for me to see another part of Chile so I asked Paula today and she said it was ok. After one day of work I asked for 2 days off! haha I dont think this working thing is something for me :P No, but she thought I worked really good and fast today so she said it was fine, as long as my things are done by the deadline. And they will be! =)
Hmm... I think that was it...
Now it's tea time!
Looooooove
