Wednesday, 20th June:
Today, I decided to make it a better day. I didn’t expect to be overly busy, but I knew it would still be a tiring day – well mainly due to the weather. During the last week the temperature had been rising steadily upwards. It was expected to be into early 40oC’s – ouch! I still wanted to walk to work, as wanted to use this opportunity to “keep fit”!!!
I had the standard few meetings and conference calls throughout the day, still following up with my Brighton teams to deal with my EBT “mess” I had come across yesterday. Not sure how it is going to sort itself out, but hopefully I can get my team assistant to do a lot of the leg-work for me. All I want is to ensure I am not “out of pocket” because of the balls up by the GBS team, and that my expenses get processed – more importantly, I receive my personal expenses, as this would be my biggest annoyance. Thus far, I have spent over £1,000 of my personal expenses, with some of it being reimbursed during the last two months expenses settlements. Just hope this month’s about £500 comes my way soon! Grrr!!
My AXP work colleague who was also on a work secondment with Alpha Bank too until the end of 2007, suggested we catch a movie later in the evening. Quite a nice chap and I couldn’t certainly do with the company. Actually, there were 3 AXP folks in town this week, myself, Marios and Maria from GNS Marketing. We managed to see Ocean’s 13 in another open-air cinema in Kifissias with a 2am return back to the hotel. The temperature was still around 28oC even at this time of the day!! I can only predict tomorrow being even hotter! Only registered users can write comments. Please login or register. Powered by AkoComment 1.0! |
