Je me suis perdu!
French and Italian are far too similar! Well, I have recently been on a tip to Milan where my phone refused to work. That was comforting, and I did feel rather lost at the times where I would usually relay my day to Matt. So I reverted to life pre-boyfriend and wrote it down. As follows. With editing.
Day 1
Slightly paranoid first moments. Its 6 o'clock and I have finally found myself in my room, situated for the first time today and all the electricity in my room has just turned itself off. Must be a trip switch, do they even have trip switches?... *avoids panic by picking up pen*.
Enter David coming to get me for drinks and working out the whole 'room working against me situation', i took my key dongle out of its special hook in the wall and the wall does not like that. I am torn in regard to how many photos to take, for many reasons however my urge to record is strong! I don't want to misplace myself because I was taking a photo or act like the classic tourist around fancy London people. The fear of the situation is making things emblazed on my memory, I can't belive I am here. I made it! I'm tucked up in bed in Milan. Hee! Felt quite alone to start with, adventures aren't half as fun with no one to share it with. No-one can see my amazing room! Mine is the prettiest however, because I am female? My menu had no prices - to protect my delicate sensibilites or because women tend to pick the most expensive things? I peaked at the others and it didn't really persuade me either way really. Luckily one of the guys from Harrods could speak Italian so we managed to wing it. Its was some of the lovliest food, wine and coffee I have ever had.
I couldn't take much part in the furniture parts of the conversations as I was a wee thing next to them, I recognised the names of the manufactures but not the nuances each one had. I loved listening however to how they differed to Momentum, relationships to customers, what they favoured, what annoyed them, what they sold. I've been with Momentum 10 months and I feel as if I haven't stopped yet I've barely touched the surface. It was interesting to see how the men reacted to eachother, showmanship etc. Ha. I wonder if my territorial side would have come up if I was surrounded by women. Hmm.
I feel rather paranoid about what I can and cannot say which I am not accustomed to. I love to talk, I know I should reign it in and I think I did learn how to... behave?... partially control my crazy ways perhaps. I don't stress about how people take what I say. People open up to the ditzy ginger and end up smiling along, however whether thats with me or at me that is another matter! I don't usually have barriers so I find it somewhat disconcerting deflecting questions I would of loved to answer about what I do, my role, what I bring to the company, what Momentum is about, but I can't! They could learn the location of the Golden Goblet and doom would fall on Momentum and I shan't bring that!

Onto tomorrow! <3
