Sometimes when I tell people that I am an assistant I get that look. The one that means "oh, I'm sorry for you". It's gone a second later and I really don't mind because I'm not out to concquer the corporate world, but, ok, I get it. Being a P.A. might not strike you as the most glamorous of jobs.
However, what would you say if I told you my office has a direct view over the Seine river? How's that for glamorous?
Every morning I walk into my office, hang up my coat, put water to boil for my tea and gaze out my window at the sparkling river below as I wait for my computer to turn on. Throughout the day, it is such a stress reliever to be able to stop what I'm doing for one second, turn my head 90° to the right and suddenly feel like I'm miles away facing a flowing river and not anyway near that darn screen.
On rainy or cloudy days I like to see the stormy waters get all riled up and on clear blue-sky days like today the view can make me forget all about the stuffy offices I'm stuck in.
I got this office because nobody wanted it as it was small and the farthest down the hall from the Big Boss' office. But somehow I feel I came out with the higher hand in the tradeoff.....
.... not bad for a little mexican P.A., n'est ce pas???

LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!
gorgeous view you have there Fned!
Ok, so that is just dreamy my dear. How many little Mexican girls dream of looking out their window at a river in Paris?
Felicidades chica, que buena onda.
Mamacita: Thanks! It makes for great excuses to procrastinate during the day (daydreaming, mentally scheduling boating lessons, checking the river for traffic, etc...)
Cancun Canuck: A poco no? ;)

Those people are nuts not to fight over that office. Great view, wow!
I think it's funny such a gem of an office was passed up. Good for you for nabbing it up you smart girl!
Misschris and Mexico Way: Thanks you guys! I'm really glad I grabbed this office too! Otherwise, I'm pretty sure I'd quit my job a looooooong time ago!!! ;)

who would've thought that after the 'desmadre' that your bedroom used to be growing up, you'd have your office so neat and clean 'wey' ;)
PS. great office
Xi: Ejem.... the desmadre was never mine... it was Carmen's... (he-he)... I AM a virgo after all... order is a pathological obsession for us. ;)
