Fatigue

Besides phisical effort, is the dream changed. Working in shifts is exhausting. Takes some getting used. To make matters worse, lately, I am the backup "reinforce". In a very, very colloquial Spanish we could say "machaca". (isn't in the dictionary). As I am the rookie and many people is having their Summer hollidays, I am working at nights, which is the more complicate shift since it has only a person in charge . I have been working a fornight at night and I have ahead, another four weeks, the whole August.
In short, it's a reality hit. Not everything is pink colour. Life is also brown and sometimes gloomy.

Job Interview

I had a job interview yesterday. As usual, I could not sleep the day before. Anyway, I woke up early and dressed for success: navy suit, blue shirt, red tie, and shined shoes.

The interviewer was a hot... young professional lady. In the middle of the interview, she asked me about my English skills. I told her that I am not fully bilingual, and then I started to speak in English. I explained to her that in my current job, I communicate with vendors from the United States and write emails in English. She said that I have good English skills. hahaha!

I passed the job interview but not with flying colors. Tomorrow I am going to dedicate the entire day to my job search. I hope to find a good job in August.
