oh thesis proposal, my thesis proposal...

I can't find the right words to write.
I know what I want to do but I don't know how to do it yet.
I need to relax, to be alone...to think in silence...
I want some time away from the office, away from work...
Far far away where I can't have access to emails.
I want to have some real long quality time with you...my thesis proposal!

Goodbye Faro, Portugal...

The Boss just arrived this morning from a long holiday break in his homeland France. When he entered the room, he's in his usual good humored mood as he greets everybody "Good morning!".

And then...

Boss (to me) : Have you seen the email from Frank and Thierry?
Me: About the next meeting in Faro? Yup!
Boss: So, are you going?
Me: No..
Boss: Why? Too much to do?
Me: Yes.
Boss: Well, I can' t go too. I told Thierry that it's not a good thing to move the meeting 1 1/2 month earlier. March is the best time. Now, we need to find somebody to go there.
Me: OK!

I can't believe I just said NO to another wonderful opportunity to travel. In a land where I've never been to at that. Darn MS works!! and thesis too!!
