- how are you?
- I'm okay.
- aww, did somebody break your bitchy little heart? stop being a teenager. (c) Massimo's life wisdom.

Friday started with a homemade blueberry-coconut crumble cake, a i-wanna-make-sure-you-miss-me-guys gesture from Petra.

I spend 40+ hours in the office every week, and even though I'm rather good at separating work and life people-wise and rarely hang out with them after work, these people are pretty awesome.

Soo, there's Massimo, an Italian workaholic with whom I tend to have very weird conversations. He's sarcastic as hell, and we bonded mainly over that and bad movies.
Petra is the sweetest slovak thing, reminds me of Kristina Suprun in early LCC days. I'm sad she's leaving, even though that means now I have somebody to visit in Gran Canaria.
Chiara, another italian, is like Sasha Baklaieva in a way, meaning she's nice, but we don't have many touchpoints. a lil' trashy too.
Claudia is my favorite, a mean sarcastic child of nomads, who speaks gadzillion languages and shares most of my opinions on life, dating and stuff. stuff being most important of it all.
Fernanda - or Fernizzle - a brazilian, who took up a mission to educate us on bizarre and useless topics like penguin' sex habits. pretty random, but occasionally funny.
Aungwara - or Frankie - because her real name is too much trouble - sweet semi-alternative Thai girl, who goes to all of the artsy events and cooks amazing green curry. just the right amount of spice.

At vive, the team seems more fun. even though I work weird hours and mostly from home and see them either in the app, or during the bi-weekly meeting+drinks.
so Marylin and Neelesh, sarcastic and art-music-alternative-oriented brits. Well technically Neelesh is indian, but oh well.
Laura - sweet romanian girl, who took me under her protectorate from the moment I applied for the job I really wanna photograph her sometime.
Josh, another brit, just joined us and I don't have an opinion yet. except his level of handsomeness.
