Office Life

I haven't been able to update properly because I have been so overwhelmed with work but I'm happy to say that I finally have my official contract from the UN, which means I have my very own office and desk. Before I was working in cafes and libraries around the UN grounds and also working from home but it's really good to be able to have a "proper place" at where you work.

Another thing that I have noticed is that I am not a "at-home" work person..yes I know, it sounds ideal to be working at home in your PJs and having your own schedule. But I don't know whether it's because I'm Japanese and love to work so much.... but I love waking up early, putting on my work clothes and makeup, and commuting to work. It feels like I am part of society and that my office puts me into "work mode". I suppose that I like my home to be a place to relax and my office to be a place of work and keep them separated. So I thought I've never say this..but I'm glad to be back in the office, even if it's for only for a little bit more till my contract ends.

 


This was a few weeks ago but there's always 1-2 days during the year when Geneva just gets snowed in. This was one of those days, and it looked absolutely beautiful .

Also one thing that is definitely needed in the office is a junk food drawer. Yes I can imagine you looking at me with disdain but I'm sure you have something similar as well to get through those sleepy afternoons and wake-me up moments during hard times in the office. But just FYI, I don't hog these all to myself, I do share with my colleagues as well!
