who's got the blues
i do. pretty bad. i have thought about trying to get another maybe two weeks off after february 11th. that's when the mailing for the new catalogue and the new magazin have to be sent out no matter what. which means A LOT of work until then, especially since i won't be here on february 7th and 8th. C's birthday is on february 14th and i would try and be there for that and then maybe stay until the 26th or so. i have thought about how chances are that i get off any time after that and quite honestly, they are small/tiny = pretty much 0. deadline for the new catalogue is march 11th and there's usually material coming in starting at least two weeks before that. plus - there will be a lot of calls and stuff about the catalogue and i really can't leave my colleague alone with that. so basically, from the beginning of march until the beginning of may there really isn't a chance to get off. which means, even if he has to have surgery then, i just won't be able to go. and since i'm depressed and miss him so much RIGHT NOW and i know he's not looking forward to another b-day alone, i might as well try and go. flights are around 360 euro at that time, which is all right. my account is on the minus-side anyway so what the h.... i will have to think it through some more and talk about it with C and my boss though. and if i go i will have to work my a** off until then. will keep you up to date but go for now..

i woke up from a dream around 3.30 a.m. this morning: i had asked my bosses for another two weeks off (in two weeks) and they yelled at me what i was thinking since i just had four weeks of and if i didn't think that was a little impudent to ask for..... of course i never had the guts to ask for real today.. *sigh*
