Wow - sorry for the delay. It is amazing what happens when you are so busy during the workdays and Saturdays and hung over enough to have no motivation to write. Well, much has gone down since I last wrote.
Got staffed on a new case. Working in the call center biz and I'm staffed locally, which is cool. Was working on this case before we'd even done the final presentation for the other case. This office is crazy busy. The team is great, manager is cool, topic is interesting and the pace is fast. Just arrived in LA for a week of training, which is going to be interesting given the pace of my case back in São Paulo. Something tells me I'll be working during training more this time than NCT.
My brother has been here twice in the last three weeks. He came in for work on a Thursday while I was in Rio but stayed until Sunday. We hung out Friday night through Sunday morning. It was awesome to get to see him. Just had a fun, relaxing time. Went to dinner on Saturday with Pedro and Lia at Brasil a Gosto - awesome restaurant in São Paulo. We ended up going out for a little bit, a little later than planned but we were none worse for the wear. Tyson had to roll out really early the next day.
The following weekend I caught up with Thiago and some of his friends. I hadn't seen them since my first weekend here, and it really was all on me. They'd called once or twice and I was busy, then I just felt awkward calling after time had elapsed. Stupid. What a great group of people. I have since hung out w/ Thiago, Bruno, Bianca and Julio a couple of times. They, as a group, are part of what made me think Brazilian people are so welcoming, and they are very much living up to that. Bianca and Bruno are from Goaina, I think, and understand what it is like to live somewhere w/out family, so they have offered to act as part of my family here. I think that's what happened with Julio too :) I'm down for sure.
Looking at my notes from last weekend at the bar: Don't let the pianist sing. They turn every song into a bad hippie version. Although the band was decent, the sounded like a bad version of my high school band Nedlog (much more talent). They were tarnishing one great song after another.
I arrived in LA for training today. Goes until next Wednesday at which point I'm heading to Chicago. Pretty stoked to 1. be in the US and 2. see a great crew from the Chicago and Toronto offices here for the week.
Promise to be better at keeping up to date.
