Seeking for answers can turn into frustration, if instead you only find new question marks. Been to the hospital. Too many assumptions, too little clarity on what has caused all this. A very long treatment might be in front of me.
And now the good news:
The EURO 2008 organizing committee has finally found my application as a volunteer. Apparently their server swallowed my email address and did not forward me the newsletters and the invitation for the training day in the first place. Meanwhile I had given up hope and thought they just forgot about me and said to myself, in my state it might be better if I stay at home anyway.
But Saturday morning they called me and apologized for their error. They asked me if I spoke French and English fluently. Well, I lived more than five years in Geneva and worked for three years in English speaking teams, I told them. I was in!
This morning I received my schedule for June. It is going to be fun!
This is exactly the distraction I have been looking for after two months of fighting and apathy. My current state should allow this part time commitment - or I just leave. Too many things have been turning around the bitch recently - and keep turning. I need a change. I need a challenge, I need the proof that I can get back into real life in one way or the other for a while, even if my cure is still far away.
I was aksed why I had applied in the first place. I did because I wanted to work with people again, as I had been doing for more than 10 years before doing office jobs. And I wanted to because I wanted to be part of this great event that MY city is hosting. But before it starts, the city will celebrate itself first: Friday night with a concert on the federal square. Züri West and Patent Ochsner. I'll be there!
