RE: My Florence vegan experience
howdy this fine Saturday my new friend delishtreats!!! I hope your family visit is going well and thank you for answering my questions..do you know that almost no one does that? They may answer ONE but not more than that, I reckon they get irritated or don't feel they have the time. So I appreciate that.
But I'm sure you don't have that problem being as you're so popular and all. Most of the time people see me coming and they're like...who IS this weirdo??? lol. but at least they remember me!
so your blog will be about this big mysterious project that no one knows what that means or entails....hhhmmm.
does it have anything to do with your previous career profession?
Heeey my dear @janton! I try to answer all comments. And I like to engage in a conversation but I also experienced that I don't get answers to all my comments or just get one. But well, I don't mind.. if somebody doesn't want to talk it's their choice :)
Oh yes, I'm so popular that I've been asked if I'd like to have a star on that famous path in Hollywood, lol. But you know, I like my privacy so I refused the offer!
You are right! You'll get to hear the details when the time is right :)
Noooo, I'm not going back to that career path anymore :)
haha! Humbleness! I love that trait in a person, especially rare in a female person! lol. so glad you turned Hollywood down, that would have changed you like fame usually does to people.
not going back to that career path anymore huh? the mystery continues.
what WAS that career path before, I know you can answer that one.
and don't worry about not answering all my questions, if you miss one I'll just keep asking! except the one about your new project, I understand that it's a secret.
Exactly! I want to stay as perfect as I already am, lol!
I was in corporate finance for many years.. It was a GREAT job, just not for me.. I met so many amazing people and I will never regret all the experience that I gained over the years..but it was time to move on..
Sure, just keep asking and I'm glad you understand that to know about the project you'll have to wait :)
howdy back again delishtreats it's me! again! so what in the world? somany years here and so many years there...dang kiddo how old are you anyway? you don't have to tell me exactly and I know it's rude to ask a lady that but it never stopped me before! lol.
like around 30?
corporate finance sounds important but boring. not accounting right?
Good morning @janton! Hahaha, well, yes, so many years here and there.. I was working for the same company for over 9 years in 2 countries (I started in Prague and then moved to Switzerland)
I'm 32. Am I still a kiddo? Lol
Business analysis. Oh, my job was very interesting. I was handling countries in Middle East, Eastern Europe and Africa. I also had contact with Central Asia. So many different cultures and different people. It also allowed me to travel a lot to the places that I would never visit privately. It was not a standard corporate finance job. I was not just working with the numbers and sitting at my desk all the time.
But eventually there was a moment when I realized that I want to work on my own dream, not on somebody's else dream. Plus I got the chance to leave. My job was restructured (part of a big restructuring) and moved to a cheaper location and I got a choice - I either change a department or I will be laid off. You know already what I went for, lol.
oh my gosh delishtreats..man your username makes me think of donuts and pastries! ha! anyway..oh that job sounds fantastic or at least a fantastic experience, so you are much more traveled and experienced than most people ever are in terms of international business and travel and all that entails. and with the restructuring you did indeed make the right decision.
ha!!! 32..what a kid..I'm exactly twice your age! so yeah you're just a punk kid to me. hope you're ok with that! lol.
talk later kiddo!
In that case you can call me Martina, lol!
Yes, I am blessed to get that job and all the experience. It really is a dream job of many.
Twice my age? Ow, shall I call you Sir then? ;)
haha! you can call me gramps! lol. no actually people tell me all the time that I don't look my age plus I work out and lift weights so I don't have an ounce of fat, got a full head of hair even though it's white, so I don't look like much of a gramps but we do have 2 grandkids, 18 and 20.
probably have GREATgrandkids here pretty soon!
I do try to walk in wisdom but you can call me janton or jonboy which the latter really sounds funny to you doesn't it since you found out how ancient I am! lol jonboy..keeps me feelin young!
do you really want me to call you Martina? that's a beautiful name by the way.
