It's hard to know where to start. It's been an eventful week with many highs and lows. I met some incredible people and had some great experiences. I am going to focus on that part of the week instead of the insecure, draining egos.
I am enjoying my espresso and looking out on to Lake Geneva while the sun starts coming out. They changes the clocks at 3 am and I was up at 4 am. I had a call with Dubai and then fell back asleep for a few hours. I am just waking up now with some fresh crisp air coming in through the open door. I was pleasantly surprised by the Hotel de la Paix. When I checked in, I asked if it was possible to get a lake view room. The woman looked at me and said that I paid for a Garden View, which was very true. I left my bags with them and went to explore the city. When I came back after dinner, I was in this unbelievably gorgeous room overlooking the lake with a patio. It was like a dream and I have really been enjoying it.
I am not sure I am ready to go back tomorrow. Not so much because I miss being home but because of dealing with the bullshit with these people. If I had any respect for the two guys, I now have absolutely none. They are pure shells. One day UJ got angry at me when we were having breakfast. I am not sure why but in the middle of a discussion, he raised his voice and snapped at me. Later, he apologized and said his email crashed so he was in a bad mood and he has a tough time understanding me because I am so negative. I am not sure where that came from but it was pure projection. I am so done with him even though he tried to apologize. I totally believe he does not have an ounce of sincerity.
Then, his buddy would walk up to people I'd be in the midst of a conversation and just started talking to them; totally ignoring the fact that he interrupted a conversation. One guy came to "save" me when it happened the third time. We had a laugh about it. People do see what is going on. I am done with him too. I wish I could write more but I just can't yet. But they both played really stupid moves as I will not be a cheerleader. Quite the contrary, to say the least.
The good news is that despite these silly occurrences, the rest has been wonderful. Great people. Great place and many laughs. I have so many great stories people shared with me. But I need to get ready for my brunch with a colleague and his wife.
