Cheers to the freakin' weekend

Boy, did this weekend go by really fast, or what...?

Yesterday evening I almost had a panic attack at the thought that a new week was about to begin...I really need a break form work, from Bucharest... My boyfriend and I were planning to take our folks on a little trip next weekend, which was also meant to calm my nerves :)), but our plans might be brutally put to rest...We wanted to go to this nice, quiet place on the shore of Vidraru Lake, but since Transfagarasan was all over the news this past weekend (Cars stuck in snow, in Septermeber! Really, winter?!?) we might need to change our plans and maybe go to Brasov or Sinaia...

It doesn't really matter where we go, as long as I leave for the weekend. When car horns wake me up at 6 am,  not even  letting my poor alarm clock do its pathetic job, it's an obvious sign that I need to escape from this noisy town!

Wish me luck!

Love,

There must always be a Stark in Winterfell...

Hi guys,

This past week was pretty intense, as I was separated from the majority of my co-workers, who have been like my second family for the past 6 years...The company I work for went through some changes, which forced this temporary separation. And even though I will be joining them on November 1st, I must admit I was a bit overwhelmed with emotion at the thought of not seeing their familiar faces every day. It's funny how you get to develop such great friendships at the workplace, with all the stress, tight deadlines, insane competition for better results...Me and my co-workers were blessed with an ideal environment for becoming friends, thanks to an amazing organizational culture. I was thinking today how important it is to feel comfortable with the people you work with, to find a common goal, to share ideas and interests.

I need to stop before this turns into one of the lectures from University: "Today, we'll be covering topics like: organizational behavior, organizational culture, bla, bla, bla" :).

Honestly though, I will miss everybody terribly, and I can't wait to join them. I will be right in time for the winter holidays :P, so I could not think of a better moment to be reunited with "my family".

Have a wonderful weekend!

From Paris, with love...

Hi guys,

Here is the last set of pictures from Paris. And it is quite in accordance with the season change :).Very autumnly, I might say! On that particular day, the strange parisian weather asked for some serious layering :P, and I happily accepted though it took me a little bit by surprise! I wasn't expecting it to be that cold, considering it was the beginning of July.

On a different note, I could not be happier that autumn is slowly setting in. I have sooo many eart-toned outfits and layering in mind! Not to mention the new seasons of my favorite TV shows...Gosh, I'm excited! :)

Have a lovely Sunday!

Hugs,
