Eventually my boss has asumed he screwed up on the tickets. He didn’t remember that the time limit had been shortened via email and the broker’s website not always updates properly thus it still showed the old TL. We’re now 930 euros short of the current price of the tickets and earning that money back will be a PITA. It always is with the pathetic profits involved in the travel industry…
Anyway this screw-up it’s not my fault and now it’s time to go to sleep… nighties lovelies!
Ingenuity takes off from the lower right corner of the frame. This is flight #47 (was designed to perform 5) and it’s been on Mars for over two years (was supposed to last for two months).
We were living in an Arab country when I was 2 years old and at the time I didn’t know the repercussions of taking candy from the market aisle without paying. Luckily, my parents were there and I still have my hands intact this day.
Here in Spain the adevrtising with Fido Dido began out of the blue, pop magazines and some newspapers explained that this mascot was well known in the States but hadn’t been yet used in Spain. Back then some TVs were airing the Fresh Prince of Bel Air but the whole concept of being “fresh” was kind of unknown…
It is a very simplistic, yet successful design. I remember him too, from 7Up commercials.
Recently I had a very peculiar experience.
My friend always used to boast that when she has a kid, she’s going to be so proud of her of all the successes the kid’s going to have in life. Fast forward 10 months and she and her husband had a boy and I asked if I could contribute to her kid’s wellbeing. She wanted a wristwatch for her child, not just any brand but a Patek. Months ago, I promised my friend that I’d support her, her husband and the child so I was determined to keep my promise. I took the first plane to Switzerland and after browsing at the head dealership of Patek Philippe, I bought a Aquanaut model for 18.000 Swiss Francs. Then I returned back to Türkiye with the watch and the box and everything. When me and my friend met again, I gave her the box with a big smile on my face, she opened it but she frowned. I asked “What’s wrong? I brought you what you asked for. This is the best I can afford.”. Then she simply said with her usual lisp: “LordO, I said buy patik(baby shoes), not Patek.”
