another week…

I’m so glad it’s Friday!  This week has been really crazy!  Monday, we had hurricane Bertha, which they eventually called tropical storm Bertha disrupting our so far peaceful and utterly lovely summer.  It was supposed to hit the island Saturday but it decided to take its time and hit us Monday, which I kind of prayed for thinking that work will be suspended.  But lo and behold, work was not canceled.  A lot of other firms closed their offices by midday though but we’re not one of them, which made me even more disappointed.  But oh well, what can I do.  They said that it’s just like one ordinary winter storm so it’s no big deal.  But I really don’t think so.  First, the wind was so strong that I could barely walk.  Then, some asshole in a car was so insensitive that he just flew by so fast and splashed water all over me on my way to work!  I’m sure he saw us because we were 3 people walking down the street and I’m pretty sure he noticed all the other cars slowing down on that curve.  Grrrr!!!  And worst, while typing along in my little cube, I could feel the earth shake like there’s an earthquake every minute or so!  But oh well, at least we all made it alive. 

Day after the storm, it’s as if nothing happened.  The only trace of hurricane Bertha were the leaves and some twigs scattered on the streets.  It’s hot and humid again that you just want to run to the beach and dive into it’s nice clear water.  Of course, I can’t.  I went to the bank instead and started sorting out my finances.  I opened another account so I could use that for my monthly expense and make sure that there’s a material chunk left for the future for whatever reason.  I also opened a supersaver account, which earns more interest than a normal savings or time deposit account.  I just have to commit to contribute a sum of money every month for 5 years and I’ll have compounded monthly interest.  Not bad.  At least I’m sure that at the end of the day, I still have some money left from my stint here in Bermuda. 

There is nothing extraordinary about work really.  But while asking the managers for something work on, I just realized that I wasn’t just asking for work so I can charge something but I was asking because I want to immerse myself in work or to put it bluntly, because I enjoy it.  Ok, I am enjoying working.  But I am not exactly sure if it is the work itself or just so there’s something to occupy my mind and save me from boredom.  But does it really matter?  At least, the important thing is I’m faring better than when I first got here. 

I just finished 3 clients today.  Rare for this season.  But I did crank it up!  Yeah!  It’s Friday tomorrow!! Yay!  But I have a stye
