New Manager~

Pouick I used to have issues with my manager. Then arrived a second manager. One for product development, one for deliveries and such. One I had problems with, one that was my friend. Well, last week, I was called in the boss' office along with my two managers and my other colleague. We were officially advised that accessories (my part) would pass entirely under manager #2's responsibility. So now... I only have one manager and it's the nice one. I think I still haven't realized yet. Oh and I will have to train my new manager on the accessories business. Funny.

The Knee Update (yet again)~

Pouick It's getting better. Far from total recovery but at least I can pretend to walk normally again. And I'm starting to be able to climb stairs normally. Well, not that normally but not like a 2 year old child any more. The doc put me on a new torture machine. It's a huge chair where he ties my ankles and thighs and I have to lift my legs up. My knee does this weird cracking sound each time I pull on the leg. I'm not sure it's really a good sign. Although the doc said it was pretty good that I was able to do this exercise. He seemed to have hesitated quite some time before deciding on this new program. -_- And when I ask questions, he never answers them. The muscle is something you loose very easily and get back really slowly. I wonder how these bodybuilders do all the time... It must me like... 8h lifting weights each days... I have no idea when I will be able to get back to normal and do the tings I used to do before. I'm optimistic, though. I signed up for the big airsoft weekend - DMZ 3 - that will be held in France this summer. I want to play that weekend!

The Temp Roommate Is Gone~

Pouick Uli left this morning. I dropped her off at the train station then I had to run to work. The goodbyes were as any other goodbyes. Awkward and uneasy. I didn't imagine I would be sad to see her leaving. This month he spent at home has passed by really fast. It felt like two weeks. I will certainly keep a good souvenir of her stay. She cooked some really weird stuff - like the cheese sauce pastas, the banana, dried meet & cheese bread, the Caotina/Ovomaltine mixed hot chocolate, the perfect man cake, mint salad sauce, omelet bread thingy... Well, it was a lot of experiments for my stomach but it seems I managed to survive. I hope she like her stay - even though I'm the bitchy-comp-addict kinda roommate and everything has to be done like I want. Sounds terrible, hu? But she said yesterday evening that I wasn't so bad and except two or three occasions, I was even nice to her the whole time. She invited me to the Cirque du Soleil - Dralion to thank me. We went last Sunday. The show was great! We didn't have the bestest seats but we managed to see the show good enough and it was terrific! And the "two tea, two Twix" will be remembered. Ha! Tonight will be my first evening all alone for the first time in one month. We will see if I notice a difference but for now, just thinking about it is weird. I guess it takes some time to get used to have someone at home all the time and it will be the same to go back to the way it was before.

Knee Update (Once More)~

Pouick I went to the physio today, again. I found out I missed my Friday appointment. Well, I suspected I did but I had the confirmation. Since the weekend in Belgium (starting one week prior the event) my brain is dead. I missed a physio appointment for 1h, I missed my doc appointment on Tuesday 21st, I was late for the physio appointment on Thursday (ok, 10 min, it's nothing!) and I missed the last one. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? Anyway! This time Claude (yeah - after 2 months I remember his name) tried to be honest with me about my knee. It's still a bit swollen and it's still a bit painful (and it's cracking). He basically told me it wasn't normal and I should talk to my doc next time I see him (yeah, the blond is gone - missed the last appointment with her - will get a new doc - male - woohoo). He doesn't seem totally desperate, though. He remembers that I used to practice a sport and he is planning ahead to help me get back to it without having the threat of another knee injury (which is good). He went through a lot of figure of speech and all to finally tell me the only option for me was to loose weight. *BAM* So... maybe my weird stomach saw it coming. ò_ô It's been over two months I cannot eat as much as before and I have lost almost 8kg so far. I must say it makes no difference for me whatsoever. I wouldn't have noticed it I wasn't checking the scale every now and then. In that optic - of me loosing weight and building muscles - Claude (the physio, remember) introduced me to Fred. As a girl with overweight issues I would have liked to be introduced to an ugly old lady but no... Fred is young, cute and charming. Bugger. He explained to me what was the purpose of his life... - maybe not - of his job. For a lousy 175.- CHF (usually 200.- but I'm Claude's patient - héhé!) Fred would evaluate me and built a whole walking/biking/eating program so I would loose weight and built proper muscles without feeling tired and all. The only problem is that... I would have to force myself to... go out, see the day light, smell the fresh air... Eeek! @_@' So for now, I am not yet decided. Although, I do want to go back to my sports without breaking a knee every two years. Dilemma, dilemma. I have three weeks to make a decision (that is the evaluation of the necessary time to finish up with my knee physio - sort of). I'm so not the cardio/diet kinda girl. I just like to beat up people.
