Your shiny smile in the trembling sun light
A kiss with your plump lips still milk flavoured
Another day gets started
work,friends, duties, time-wasting
...
The sunset is fading away
and I'm walking in your moon light
At home, you and me,
another night loving each other.

Rowing
I had rowed for a long time in the ocean,
I never lost my direction, my heart was my compass
it carried me to you.
I never lost my direction, my heart was my compass
it carried me to you.

First time..
Last Thursday I was on business trip for the first time, precisely I had to go to a meeting off-site, in Turin, where our client is located.
It was the first time that I had to deal directly with the client, in the past I had just a conference.
Moreover I was alone, I mean as technician without a senior, on my left there was only the sale manager who didn't give me a great support, actually.
Honestly, before leaving for Turin I gathered all the possible advise that I could, I spoke to seniors, managers and so on.. I was worried about this task because I didn't have any frame of reference on how to cope with customers.
I was afraid of becoming the laughing stock or shooting from the hip.
Also, it was the first time that I had to take some decisions for our current project and guide our client towards the best solution (at least I hope it was the best one...) and propose a new activity for the sake of increasing our revenue.
In some moments I acted more as a pre-sale manger than a technical adviser... but it goes with the territory in my profession.
Summing up, I think I hit the target :), I reported the outcome to my manager and I received some compliments on it, but it's not the time to rest on my laurel :)
An unhappy note... I was forced to pay all the expenses (aside from the flight tickets) in advance and I'm about to be strapped because I can't withdraw more money, I'm near to overcome my monthly limit withdrawal ... I set it too low... :(
How was your experience when you had your first meeting with the client ?

An easy week
During this week I haven't worked a lot, actually I had a simple task to accomplish: technical writing !! it's not rewarding and cool at all, but sometimes you need a bit of relax.
I also discovered a singer whose voice is cosy and nifty, he is Paolo Nuttini
I hope we 'll have a sunny weekend I want to go to the sea and go sunbathing.. I needed it !
Enjoy your week !
