Back In The Saddle Again

I am officially employed now. Well, actually I have been for the past two weeks, which accounts for my partial absence from UNRV (thanks for noticing FV ;)).

 

I am working in the trade division of a certain Embassy here in Brussels as a commercial adviser. Basically what this means is that we liaise with entrepreneurs in Belgium and the country I'm representing, promote this country's goods and services in Europe, organise business rounds and so on. It all sounds very glamorous but in fact it's also very bureaucratic. It's almost like being a civil servant, which I don't find very appealing. But I guess it will do for now - not a good idea to turn down a job in these troubled times.

 

Most of all, it feels really good to be active again. :)

Hey !

 

Good to see you back, Aurelia.

 

Thanks for your nice comment.

 

All the best in the new job. Now, be honest, there's nothing more fun than being a civil servant, is there ? :P

So, you're not too bad of.

Congratulations on the new job, Aurelia! Hey, do you get any freebies? I mean, if you're promoting some country's goods, is there any chance you might get a free salami or cell phone?

Thanks for the well wishes guys!

 

Neph: I'm not sure about cell phones but I'm hoping to score at least some bottles of wine at some point. :P

I'm just curious; is the name of the represented country priviliged information?

 

Well, given the fact that in the not-too-distant-past a former boss of mine threatened to sue me because she thought some of the stuff I was writing about on my blog (not this one, obviously) was "libelous", I'd rather disclose as little information about my current place of work as possible. ;)
