This past week has been stressful - yes I said that I was stressed out because of work I might add! Usually I don't get stressed out because of work; I normally brush it off and carry on but I think that with everything going on and then the trip after - it was just too much and of course too little sleep to add with it.
This week was month end/year end for me in my 2nd month end of being in the manager position. Last month was very smooth but it seemed like everything blew up this time around! Probably to do with the fact that it was year end! I probably got about 15 hours of sleep and spent all of my time working in the evenings. I didn't even have time to go to the supermarket to get food! boo! Luckily my most easy night was Monday night and of course this turned out to be a horrible night aswell!! I got home from work rather early and refreshed since month end hadn't quite kicked in for me yet. I decided to check out a gym that was just a 6 minute train ride away. I got to the gym liked it etc and left to go home and the train home had just left. So instead of waiting almost an hour for the next one - I thought that I would go in the opposite direction - change trains - and then get on the fast train home which would still be a better option thanks to my UK train finder BBRY app. Well........
On the way to the next station - I only had to go another 8 minutes out of my way - the train came to a screeching halt and noone knew what was happening. The train conductor got on the mic after about 15 minutes and just told everyone that there was an emergency stop but we still didn't know why. Another 15 minutes passed and then we found out that we might of hit a passenger! WHAT! so needless to say we weren't allowed to leave the train for quite some time and also I wasn't going to be able to get home either since I had to go into the opposite direction and everyone else that was on this train was going in the other direction! GREAT. sounds like I cannot split a cab ride fare back to Guildford. I ended up getting home around almost 11pm and by that time - I still had to copy up some fruit and veg for the week and was up super late! fun times.
Tuesday - Thursday work pretty much consumed my life! I'm recruiting for a backfill for my old position right now which is kind of a challenge! I really want to get someone that is really dedicated to work (like myself) and it's hard to find the right fit! and now that i'm away on holiday - looks like no offer letters are going out until I get back....at least! which means it's another month before we get this person in! YIKES! I cannot keep doing 2 jobs for much longer!
Well...that's enough about work and my SHITTY week -- now i'm sitting in my hostel bed dorm room sipping on some wine and typing out a nice lengthy blog. I'm in Bucharest --- that is! I left Friday night around 2am and landed here around 7am local time. Got into the city and into the hostel around 830am. Got a fine for not being able to find a place to buy a bus ticket - was 15 dollars. oh well...such is life! I cannot believe it happened -- i never get caught! SHIT.
Bucharest is a lovely city - but there isn't that much to see really. I will take a day trip to Curtea de Arges tomorrow to see some monistaries! Then 1 more night in Bucharest then off to Brasov!
