It's been 30 days? How do I know? Well, after a long day at the office (I really can't have that many more training modules left at this point...) I found that my room key didn't work anymore. After trying several times and only getting a blinking red light- I ventured back downstairs to get the scoop from the guy who offered to be my secretary and a much younger guy with the most amazing eyes ever. Apparently the keys need to be reprogrammed every 30 days.
Ha. So I get billed every 10 days, need a new internet code every 15 days, and now, every 30 days I'll be locked out. So basically all those things aligned today and the fact that I get to turn in my first reimbursement claim also triggers that 30 days have passed.
Even if the numbers didn't add up to trenta, the fact that I've been called Caterina pretty much by every Italian who sees my name means I'm turning native. I'm just going to have to spell it with a K, since clearly that's the correct way to spell Katherine. (My coworker agrees--we had this talk last week.)
That's all- boring I know. I really can't compete with Kim and Nick's baby boy finally deciding he wanted out today. So exciting! I know he already has a ton of outfits picked out for our Skype sessions down the road. Congrats you two and please don't ignore Zippy (and Moe) too much.
Life in Naples, Italy is anything but boring. No matter how long I've lived here and think I understand the culture, things still come as a shock! Didn't someone once say that when the crazy things seem normal it's time to move on? Guess I'm not moving on just yet! Until that day- I'm going to keep using my amazing 3 year opportunity to explore, shop, and eat until I run out of places to see, things become normal, or most likely, my 3 years are up.
