Figures from my inturnship

There is:

• Ms S: She is the first person I've been introduced to. She asked me what my name was in addition to a few other questions related to my studies and went on saying that she was particularly very busy (which turned out to be the case for still three other days!!) then handed me some company newsletters dating back two years claiming that would give me an idea on the business process. And so I was left dozing off on a chair the wole day, reading paper written in an excruciating shipping jargon and hearing her interminable phone conversations about her baby's health: If he's had enough sleep, how his temperature must be checked every little while, etc.

• Mr M: .I've only been once let into his office while I was waiting for the approval form to get signed. He scrutinized my CV and application letter but is actually a rather good-natured person with profuse welcome manners.

• Ms B: A former graduate of my (current) school, and to avoid any misapprehensions this statement could've probably given rise to, this woman didn't entertain the slightest "corporatist thought" toward me. Actually, I wasn't allowed to have a bit of a glimpse into what she was doing and so she just sat there scribbling on some paper convulsively while I kept my nose buried in my book; then not before long did she consent to put an end to this unbearably awkward situation and conducted me to another office where I met J, a trainee peparing her master thesis. I was happy I finally found someone to commiserate with as twisted a thought as this may seem.

• Mr S.: An accountant, a man with thick glasses and a tobacco smelling moustache -that revolts me!-, and a voluble speaker above all. He makes every topic a favorite and begins his usual digression; giving every issue the locutive proportions of a "personal cause", vehemently defending positions and shifting abruptly from one subject to another that I sometimes have a hard time following his thread of thoughts. He asks me things like if I've ever been to Europe, if I write poems, among other random spur-of-the-moment questions. However, I'd be so balantly ungrateful if I don't owe this man recognition for the little and sole knowledge I came to acquire during all the time I've spent there so far.

I'm hesitating as to what I should add as recommended music for there is a lot I've been listening to lately especially by The Fray, OneRepublic and Coldplay. I'll think I'll just add this beautiful piece by OneRepublic. Please enjoy :)
