Welcome back!
Welcome back everybody!
It feels strange, doesn’t it? I feel completely disassociated. My body is back (and well ensconced at my desk), but my mind is still on a stand-by.
After my ritual email downloading, the many pressing questions that have accumulated and the new projects starting up, a coffee break is my only relief!
However, being able to have a relaxing chat with someone is an illusion! I already know that it’ll be the usual pandemonium. Pleasant but chaotic. Because in their hurry to tell their holiday stories, everybody will compete with each other to talk and the end result will be a mish-mash of overlapping voices.
Idea: we need to take numbers like at a supermarket and give each person a few minutes to plan their intervention. However, to do that, we’d probably have to get organized a few months in advance. Actually, considering how many people work for Mandarina Duck, we’d have to start in January!
Well, this year I’ll leave the story telling to others, as all I did was shuttle between the pool in Porretta Terme and Bologna. Not very much, but it was quite interesting anyway because I spent my evenings in the city watching dance, jazz and theatre events.
Moreover, thanks to some lucky invitations, I managed to spend a few some days on the Italian Riviera.
And now, let’s get back to work!
But first I need some energizing. Of course, hearing all about your travels would do the trick!
