OK-
It had been a while since I blogged, so here goes... my mom came to visit me in Buenos Aires for about 10 days in June. My mom is the most fun, so it's no stretch to say that we had a blast together. Toured her around BsAs before hitting Mendoza wine country. Good times all around. After she left, my attention turned to the chaos of the World Cup. It would be an understatement to say that Argentinians are obsessed with futbol. After each win, public celebrations broke out in the streets. It was great to be witness to all of it. Alas, Diego Maradona and his boys fell to Germany in the quarterfinals, and the air was let out of the BsAs balloon. My new job was going well, mas o menos, as I was trying to get used to spending 8 hours a day seated in silence, writing reports. Anyone who knows me probably just said to themselves, "that's not a job for Brent," and they're right. My uber-extroverted self was struggling through each day, trying to fight through the urge to pick the job search back up. Well, today my boss did me a favor. Part of the reason why I was so bored at work is that the workload and new clients that the company was expecting fell through, and as a result, I've been "let go" for the first time in my life :) First emotion: relief! They're paying me through the end of July, but told me not to come into the office, but to spend these next 3 weeks finding a new job. They obviously feel guilty, even though I'm glad for what they did. Anyhow, back on the market, folks. We'll see what comes my way...
