The job is coming to an end

So I have a week left at work! Now this is a good thing and a bad thing the good thing is that I have lasted 4 months in Athens Greece with out knowing any of the language and survived the bad thing is that well its over and I have to come back to the states. Now Athens has been a very interesting experience. And tomorrow is the boss’s last day she is going on vacation which all of Greece takes around the 8 of Aug for two weeks. Now this is a pretty nice thing that I believe the US should apply also we work hard in the U.S. and 2 weeks vacation each year just isn’t enough. Anyways I am curious what my boss will say to me tomorrow! I have busted my ass at work and it has been paying off with clients liking my work and accepting it. I do have a small worry. So about a month ago the very pretty secretary Vassia who is a student studying business in the UK came to me and ask if I wouldn’t mind filling out a questioneer about Red and about the design business and industry on a whole. Now I had been at Red for like 2 months and had gotten a pretty good idea of what the business operated like. Anyways she told me it was for her to write a paper for school and that Ronda, the boss lady and creative director wouldn’t read it. Now when she told me this I was relieved because I figured I could be more direct on honest in my answers. So I answered the questioneer it was like 3 pages of questions and I was bluntly honest and in some instances kind of harsh to my interpretation of how the office operated. I have learned today that the questioneer was indeed read by the art director. Doooough! Now this isn’t that big of a deal because it is information that I was not afraid to share the issue is the way I stated the critiques. My bluntness in the questioneer I believed wouldn’t be read by the boss was something like this. Q: what do you think is Red’s biggest challenge? I answered Red isbecoming a predictable firm that can only do corporate pack-ageing for the grocery store. It really should have been answered: Staying fresh in an every changing design world and clientele. Red does not want to be pigoned holed into only being good at one type of design.  Now I don’t think this will be that big of a deal but I am a little annoyed that I was lied too about the questioneer because if I would have known that the boss lady was going to read it I would have softened the edges of some of my more harsh critques. It is actually probably a good thing because it can be a good thing to get the truth let unfiltered I just hope I havn’t seemed ungrateful because i am. Greece and Red has allowed me to step out side of my comfort zone and there is very few thing better for you then making life interesting you seem to be so much more keen about your self things that go on and really is helpful in understanding communication.
