Erika Toda
If there's anyone more beautiful than her now.. I can probably think of one, but only one and that's all. For now, like most of her predecessors, still unattainable, and should remain so.
Disbelief, but there's not a single word mentioned about work so far. Tiring, exhausting even. But that's one thing that can't be helped. Just got my pay for about 760 dollars, which isn't bad considering SAF paid 560 for so much more work. Then again, lunch isn't free; neither is the transport which has inevitably become more regular. Transport, as most working people have realised, is the silent killer.
Working as an admin assistant isn't easy, for a variety of reasons. Being pushed around is one of them; the other significant aspect is the workload factor which continuously fluctuates hot and cold. Sometimes I can find myself running out of websites to visit, often at a loss as to which pages I haven't read. Or bugging people on msn, busy people at work like me. But like today, it can be a whole different story. Three hours slogging away, running errands, chasing signatures of bastards not even football or movie stars. Going through hours of paperwork because my engineer won't go down to look at one small part.
Getting recalled is no joke. But getting recalled when all your other buddies haven't, that's the real deal. You don't even know what to say.
But I'm feeling better. One fine sun morning to change everything. Just one moment of brilliance, and old spark that came instinctively from within. The ball at my feet, I faced the Vietnamese, a real ball player if there ever was one. I remember seeing his face, the look of intense concentration, his feet ready to pounce. That was the last I saw of him for that play; I took the ball to the right, sleighed the ball over his lunge, tapped it gently outwards and left him behind. Something I used to do regularly, but has eluded me for some time. It gave me the first piece of confidence so far since I formed the team.
Just one moment can take one so far.
