Brazilian Update
Just checking
in from Buzios, a beach resort somewhere near Rio. We spent 3 hours on a bus with extremely poor suspension to get here and that, coupled with very bad roads, has led to an aching butt. At least I whiled away the 3 hours getting to know our newest hire, a fairly cute Argentine male. Plus, he studied in the US so he has a very nice American accent and we actually have things to talk about, besides company visits and work.
So anyhow, here we are in Buzios for the last 1.5 days of our trip. After these few days my body is almost 90% alcohol, fuelled by all the caipirinhas I've been having. If you lit a match within 5 metres of me I would spontaneously combust.
It's been a great trip, but bittersweet as well since I know this may very well be the last time I meet my colleagues. And I will miss this group, except for one glaring omission, if I really do leave. The worst thing is, I can't say anything to them because nothing has been decided yet.
Anyhow, it's way past my bedtime and we have an early start tomorrow. Yes, we're here to work, despite all the boozing and partying that goes on. But before I go, I just have to say, after these past few days, I hate that bitch more than ever. Fucking useless bimbo who talks a lot but has nothing of value to add.
