Thanks for your message Ramon - you forgot a class? That has happened to me too. I remember I was teaching a lsesson, and we had a 5-minute break. I went to the teachers' room and I completely forgot about the class. After about half an hour one of the students knocked on the door and asked if I was OK... LOL!
See you,

Hello everyone,
my last unlucky week was on month ago when I arrived late to all my commitments. Normaly I am very punctual but this week I slept three of the five work days and I arrived late at job; I forgot a class that I have to teach on wenesday afternoon, and I went to the wrong cinema on Friday nigth while my friends were waited for me in the right one. Really, it was a very unfortunate week!!!

Wow, that sounds like a very stressful day! But you coped very well :)
See you,
Pieter

Last month I had a day of fire: at first, in addition to the daily working deadlines, I got two contracts to do for the next day. Then I discovered I had closed the E45 and I had to leave for a business trip shortly thereafter, so I went crazy in booking the trains at the last minute. As if this were not enough, my cellphone did not work: I then asked for help and I was told that maybe my sim was demagnetized! I should have changed it and from there I had to leave shortly! Fortunately, I was able to book the trains and get them on time, my cell phone then resumed working after I moved the SIM and I managed to complete the contracts, but it was tough!

I don't remember an unlucky week, but I could invent one. Two years ago, I missed two Champions League's final tickets and my friend Gorka wanted to kill me. Finally we watched the final on TV, and we drank beer while we supported our team. Next day was very hard. While I was going to work, I missed the bus and I had to walked to the factory. There the headache was terrible and our friends laughed and laughed because I missed the tickets and our team lost the football match. I will never forget that week.

Sometimes, i think we have to be patient. In general when we have a bad week and we feel not comfortable, we have to think that we can produce bad situations with other people... so my advice is..." be patient in that days"

Thanks for your story Ambra. Unhelpful colleagues are a bad thing, and sometimes the best thing is to ignore them! I hope your work environment improves!
See you soon,
Pieter

Here I am, sorry for yesterday..
Friday morning was a strange day, I was stubborn, irritable, during the night I thought about things that doesn't go as they should, in my opinion.
I forced myself to keep calm in the morning, but after lunch, I received an e-mail and I jumped to my collegue's nek.
Like people who do not get upset ever, I probably exaggerated: I used a loud voice, I didn't understand some passages of the mail, I recriminated about past episodes.
I don't regret anything, because she has been very rude with my the recent years, I decided to stop asking why, and I'm going to ignore her, giving up the hope to create a good work enviroment.
I realize that I have no power: if she woud not to talk with me in the lunch time for example (she never look my face), I will not eat with her anymore.
Then I waited till 17.30 a meeting fixed for the 15.30, in which our boss announced some changes of my work of the day.
I went out at 18.30, I found my bike (parked in the yard of the company) broken, I went to the bike mechanical and ... he convinced me to buy another one!
I went at home and I went to shop on foot, at 20.30 I finally hugged my kids and luckily the day was over!

Last Friday was terrible,
I woke up and I have been felt strange, a little intollerant towards some (to many) things, I have been spoken to someone ...
sorry, I have no time to explane now, I have to run to my mechanical of bike ... for my bike found broken Friday... He is closing!!!!
see you later
