I wish, I truly wish, that every contract was like this.
I have a fantastic team, I have an amazing itinerary, and for the first time in two years, I’m working with my big brother – and my sister-in-law is boarding in less than a month.
Amras asked me this afternoon, after he’d gotten over (well sort of gotten over) the total shock of finding me here , whether or not I was looking forward to going back to the flagship. I actually had to think a bit before my answer. I am of course, looking forward to going back ‘home’ I just …I wish the flagship felt like this. And it doesn’t it really, it never has. I love the flagship – I really do, but the truth is I don’t have many very close friends there, I have close co-workers, but the so-called “A-Team” isn’t really friends per say and I often keep myself to the fringes. That’s often by my choice of course, I stress a little easier than I should and often I just need to zone out of an evening rather than putting out the necessary energy to go to the bar.
Here? Here feels…different. Here I actually feel like I’m likely to buy myself a bottle of wine and split it and a plate of cheese between some friends, and have them actually be friends!
I wish I could find a way to bottle all this…I really should be able to just take it with me everywhere.
