19 April 2006 - 19:29The Endless Freezer

Today was my first day at mecglobal, mediaedge:cia, mec:interaction or whatever the name of the company is. Nils greeted me when I got there, introduced me to my new desk holding a supreme Pentium 4 at 2,6 Ghz computer. Actually he thought that the desk I had was kind of small (not!) so he ordered another one, a bigger one. As for me, I have nothing against that . Next, he introduced me to the whole staff (about … 70 persons), to the facilities, to the kitchen (uuu the kitchen) and to the soft-drinks freezer which seemed endlessly filled with respect, and not least Coke, Cocio and other stuff. At 12 we had lunch, and had a nice table-footbal game where my mate seemed to be a God. He could jog that ball like it was the real thing. The whole world started spinning and I kind of lost notion of time when Martin started talking about Search Engine Optimisation. He seems to be quite into the technique. I’m not, but I know I have to get into it, even though it’s not my favourite profile. The freezer still lingers in my mind, I must have had about 5 drkins before I found out that I have to pay for them. Did I say 5 drink … uhm… I meant 2 . Well, on my way home, someone from up above smiled at me as I found a bicicle shop on its last minute to provide me with air for my bike. Bike … that sounds like Mike. Nordic people sound funny when saying my name, I don’t blame them, cause come to think of it, my name is a bit strange in terms of western culture, so I’ve encouraged everybody to call me Mike, dispite my boss’es advice to remain Mihai. He seems quite stubborn, and I know I’m stubborn therefore I hope I won’t have any issues with him, as he acted nice enough untill now. That’s it for now … Mihai over and out !
