Woah, another fortnight ebbed away. I won't deal with the third week, when I had a not-so-unusual tonsillitis -.- and the resulting weekend, which was also damn rainy and humid. Although the fourth week is going much better, moisture hasn't left the area - and it'll never do it until the season ending - and showed itself yesterday with an unpredictable shower. Of course, rain started in the middle of my journey home for the lunch break, as I was riding my Honda, resulting in a soaking Alfred who had to take a warm shower to avoid wasting one week of antibiotics.
The cool thing is that weather changes quickly, so that rain stopped quite early in the afternoon spurring me to go out for some shopping. Also, I had some more free time 'cause my working days are very short recently - not much stuff to do this week, I'm waiting for some items I ordered for the warehouse. Therefore I could go to the Galleria, a local shopping mall, to buy a pair of jeans at Banana Republic for some 85 $. The same amount I spent at Sports Authority to buy a pair of training shorts, a t-shirt and a sports bag (all Nike's). So I fired out some bucks out of my wallet, but I should be still below my monthly budget (I am entitled to a 500-dollar reimbursement). However, I plan to subscribe to a gym to get back in shape, so every argumentation miserably fails in front of the shopping spree.
Tomorrow it's time to go for a daily trip, destination Key West. The Key Islands are an archipelago coming in form of an arc-shaped ramification. Everything is linear and connected via a series of bridges jumping from one island to another, leading west to Key...West. This is the southernmost point of the United States. They told me there are weird signs such as "the southernmost trash bin of the US" and so on placed on all things. Americans...
Things at Navalimpianti USA are going on quite well. Apart from my assignment on inventory control, I started challenging my colleagues in the office and some Hispanic warehouse-guys at tabletennis (ping pong). I became an aficionado when my best friend was constantly beating me in London last summer. Then I "took lessons" from a Polish classmate in Rotterdam, a guy who used to play at some level, and we also subscribed for a tournament - where I got a sound thrashing by the rapid Asian players. Since then I took any occasion to practice and play. Now things in the warehouse got serious: we're playing for dinners.
Outside the company things seem to be also fine. To be honest you wouldn't spot as much "crisis" as they say. Florida was one of the hardest-hit States in the '29 Crisis (let's assume that it began here), but in this one it plays quite normally. California, on the contrary, is on the verge of a financial crisis, with Schwarzy fighting an over-50% deficit. Texas, instead, is faring much better and seems to be the next leading State of the Federation.
Oh, enjoy a shot from Fort Lauderdale Beach ;)
