A short one.. To whined down

Ok so its 8 PM and I am still at the office.. Just had a meeting for the brewery client of mine. We have a new campaign in March and we were presenting the scripts for the TV commercial (TVC) and all of the POSM (point of sale materials; shelf talkers, wobblers, ceiling hangers yada yada) and the print...
yes fun stuff to create and develop, but heck it is a torture to come to client with this brilliant idea and then get a cold shower..
well to sum up the meeting .. We talked for 3 hrs and all we came up with is that we need to test one concept. On focus groups, which usually turn sour for most brilliant ideas.. Well keep your fingers crossed for me in January.. I mean for the concept.. Since it is brilliant and I'm sure it would be an award winning campaign...

any way.. I'm Back to my computer now. still need to send some mails and prepare for another meeting I have in the morning.. Yuck.. That one is on plans for 2007 and what could have been done better this year. And you know they always have something to complain about. Plus I am the only one to go from agency and there will be at least 3 of the clients so I will be outnumbered too.. Plus I need to be polite to clients... uff stressed.. Yeah keep your fingers crossed for that one too :)

anyways . I missed my dance class today. Need I mention it was the final class before the show on Friday. How lovely.. Well I hope there won't be to many people who know me in the audience.. Good thing is that the show is at 4 pm. so most of people will still be working. Luckily for me since all of the friends from work said they wanted to witness that and cheer.. Horay for work hours :)..

huff ok bit more relaxed now.. Off I go home to my couch. Bones is on today.. I know its no CSI but as long as there is dead bodies and a mystery I am glued to TV...

adios off I go to a place where I sleep... Since office seams more like home (at least by the number of hours I am here)

Monday blues...

uff its Monday again... I guarantee there is a gap in time continuum that makes time over weekend past 3 times faster then during the week. ahhh I always get surprised where the heck did the weekend go.

so about the weekend.

Friday turned out to be a quite night at home. Went with Dinko a work mate (heck a friend ) to a pub after work but we were so worn down from the week we just had a coke (not even chicken fingers) and went home. As soon as I came home walked the dog and hit the couches I was out for the night. Woke up around 3 am and just moved to bed. Yeah a true party girl :)

Saturday I had 3hr dance class in the morning.. Went home for lunch and back to another dance class. Then we were supposed to have our big Snickers event but ofcourse it stared to rain half an hour before it was supposed to begin so it all got canceled. ( do I even need to mention it was the first rain in month and a half. So typical)
however rain turned out to be for good since I had time to go out with my friends. And that is where the weekend started to get interesting.

it started like a normal few drinks with friends at this lounge bar. All of the sudden someone suggested we went to some place where gypsies play (somehow the idea just evolved and in the end noone knows who thought of it first). I don't know if you ever heard it, but gypsy music is one of a kind. They play whatever you want. they stand with their instruments right next to your table and you give them money to play the songs you want. well actually you put the money in their instruments. Fun fun fun.. We had wine and some nice prosciutto, cheese and sang and danced until 4 am.. Brilliant time. Needles to say I was bit slower on Sunday given the fact my dog and my mom woke me at 9 (yup cramed in just 4hrs of sleep). Did some chores and in the evening went to snickers zorbing event.

and before you know it. Its Monday again.
Good thing is that today we have HURA party (HURA = Croatian association of advertising agencies) . Its the biggest x-mas party so it should be fun. Oh we'll see. I'll make sure I take some pics for you to see.

adios .. Off I go to be a bit productive. Oh and to finish my coffee :)

..Why..

Why am I doing this?

well I am hooked on Beths blog. Seriously I check it at least 3 times a day and am always so disappointed when there is no updates (keep forgetting about time difference and that overseas its pitch dark and everyone is sleeping)

So what have I been up to last few years

well let me start with some generals:

I moved back to Croatia 2,5 years ago after graduating from Schiller International University London Campus.( uf I loved London so much but that is whole other bunch of posts I'm going to do.)

had one great summer of 3 months non stop partying and sunbathing (I am sure my liver and skin will bare consequences of that summer for a while) and then started working at BBDO Zg.

BBDO is a creative marketing agency. It is a fun place to work at- about that another time-. I started as assistant and am now executive but my boss is pregnant and I'm going to inherent all the clients. yup its a great opportunity but my social life next 8 months until she comes back will be non existing....

I played golf regular until this year. This year, I am a bit ashamed to admit , I haven't lift a club. Guess I got sick of it. I haven't really missed it either.. But I think I will start going to range again next year..

in free time I do dancing. Ballet and jazz dance. I love it. I whish I was younger and I could join a company (or at least ciurque de solei troops).. We have performance next week so am stressing abou it plus I'm all in pain since I have classes 4 times a week...

what else.. Oh I am back to living with my parents. Must admit it was a strange feeling after 5 years of freedom and own creative mess but I'm getting used to it. They played a nasty trick on me, when I was about to move out and rent they got a puppy. (yup after 23 years they got one just when I was getting ready to leave). However I am planning to move out next year.

relationship wise: I am single and free as a bird. Well just got out of a relationship that was suffocating so I am happy to be single again (yeah that will keep me for a about 2 months:) ).. But yeah really no luck with men so far.. Beth I need your advice how to find someone so wonderful as you did. You 3 guys are just picture perfect...
oh well I still have masters to go to so there will always be plenty of foreigners I adore so much (less Scandinavian got burnt on those already) ..

gosh what else..

can't think of much.. Its Friday my mind is already scanning all opportunities for weekend.

guess will start with work mates in our favorite pub then who knows........ Gosh, x-mas time is the best time in office.. All the parties.. Free food free drinks everyone happy.. I can't wait.. The first one is next Monday.. Can't wait,,

uf tomoorow we have a big event for a client. Snickers. we have organized Zorbing day (rolling around in ahughe ball) so it should be fun .. need to plan that one in too.

ok I think I'm done now, I'll try to post some recent pic now but still don't know how to blog properly so whish me luck.. oh and need to work a bit.. Its already 12.30

... Another try..

Well I decided to try and start again to write a blog. I always get so enthusiastic about doing one but then come to writing my mind goes blank.
but I promise, hm or even better I'm making an early New years resolution I will try to write as much as I can (as much as work permits me to)

yes yes my surfing blogging happens at work, I am just sick of computers when I get home that I never turn them on..(plus i always look so darn busy typing away and staring at my screen)

so who ever reads this feel free to remind me as often as you can about resolution :)
