wind of change

Practically every day I hear that someone is radically changing (or planning to change) his/her life; be it moving abroad, changing careers, and breaking up, or wanting kids.... It seems that everything and everyone is on the move!

Speaking of which... my last few weeks have been quite interesting too:
I changed jobs (within the company), moved from Switzerland’s most dynamic city to its sweet but sleepy capital city, got a company car and cell phone and have been let loose to create havoc on the motorways for six months. In short, I am a sales rep.

Actually, it is quite interesting to meet my customers, chat a bit and try to get an order. Of course, at the moment I am in the honeymoon period, zooming around without any pressure. I wonder what it'll be like when the pressure kicks in... I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. ;-)

I was sad to leave my team, though. Everyone was great, all very warm characters. I had a good time these past 10 months and I do miss them a bit, to be honest. It's nice to get sentimental for a fleeting moment ;-)
