bellatif's blog post - Back to work!

Monday was my first day back at work. I was in a way glad. Catching up with all my colleagues (who I had to tell much). Glad to be doing something useful again. Last week was pretty boring seeing boyfriend was already back at work. And since Sydney I notice that I have like a big appetite in everything. Chocolate, ice cream, pies, cakes,… basically everything that is SWEET.

Working would be good for me. Putting my mind on something else than lollypops. But of course that is easier said then done. Especially when I have in my office and old fashion candy machine. You know, the once were u put a coin in and after pulling the handle a little candy falls down (a present of one of my clients, who is in the candy business).

Anyhow, yesterday me and my intern were doing some paperwork together. And that kind of work is very exhausted. I rather make some calls and do numbers then trying to find little irregularities in a file. But yah, like someone said to me ‘You are a professional’. So I tried to be focussed on the matter. After a while it was time to have a little break. Just to clear our heads.

And that is for me reason enough to have a candy. So while I asked my intern if he also wanted one, I noticed that my coin cup on my desk was empty. Typical, I’m away for some weeks and my colleagues are robbing the candy machine. Anyhow, while I looked for the key to open the cash box (to get my damn coins back), I noticed that I had two ‘muesli’ bars left. Yah, stashed away between some files. So instead of a candy, I throw him a muesli.

I guess it didn’t take long before we both knew it (probably with the first bite). This was so not yummy. Probably was laying there for ages. Maybe already expired (was to afraid to check). So both chewing good. Both trying to be polite. And I guess my intern is still a bit shy around me, because he just sat there with that face that said it all. But I couldn’t really hold back anymore with my laughter. Just seeing him sit there like a schoolboy. So with my mouth full of muesli I said to him: ‘you know, those are very healthy!’. Finally he loosen up a bit and said: ‘Yah, they definitely taste healthy’.

Back to the papers my boss came in. Maybe checking on us, who knows what he really came doing. After a while my boss said to me: ‘Again no coins?’. And while he was taking out his wallet he said: “You getting rich with u candy business over here T*!”. And on that my intern said to him, well, “better her candies then her healthy snacks.”

It was a fun first day. Glad to be back. And yah, that night I couldn’t really resist. I had a big chocolate, and that was so much better then muesli. OoooOOOOooooOO, yummy.
