Back to work, another year.

Since I graduated exactly 28 years ago I have only worked in the same place, a single place; But if you ask me if it has been something good or bad in my life, I would say that it has been something good and also extraordinary, although I did not always think about staying there forever.

Yesterday after a few weeks of vacation, I returned to work.

I could compare this return to the joy that children feel when they start their new school year, or when you return from a long trip and the usual good neighbors are there welcoming you, but they are almost always moments with that ephemeral and volatile feeling that They tend to forget with the routine of the days.

To be the first, there was almost no one, and it was a bit heavy to resume work with so much silence behind the walls, so it was literally a very empty and unproductive Monday... although to be honest, I almost always think that we are worth a lot more than the salary they pay us and that it is okay to be unproductive from time to time.

But that must be a very private and personal thought, after all, the appreciation of our own value as a workforce is sometimes very conditioned by established categories and parameters.

Anyway, it was a dead Monday.

But today, Tuesday, I was really happy to return.

A couple of 90 soil samples have been analyzed: weighing, extraction, coloring and measurement. The process was well validated, the ammonium molybdate molecules linked to the appropriate concentration of sulfuric acid, have combined perfectly with the soluble phosphors of the system soil colloidal.

The indicative combination is blue, sometimes fainter, sometimes darker, it all depends on the concentration of the element, and although we owe the magic to nanometers, the taste for light and colors will not always coincide with the fact that whether it is beneficial or not for a crop.


This is how the day goes, meanwhile, I meet a colleague who is on her way out, in a hurry and with her head down, I almost bump into her, and she suddenly reveals to me that she must have surgery, but first, she must use a series of cytostatic serums. ...Cytostatics...Cytostat...Cytos

A big hug, and I am left thinking about the amount of selenium and sulfur that I breathed analyzing samples of plant tissue during my first August of work having just graduated from university, while, I feel how a series of internal earthquakes produce tidal waves with violent waves of thoughts full of recriminations that I make to myself.


I decided to cancel the bad thoughts.

But it's still noon, and I return to another laboratory discovering many butterflies trapped between the glass, it's summer and they are mating desperately! It is pleasant to feel that nothing stops.

I go to the patio and there they are, I have never seen so many, could it be that it is raining in torrents these days and the heat accelerates the metamorphosis of the chrysalises?

It's difficult to capture them, some run away, others just know that I'll be ridiculously harmless with my cell phone camera.

It's time to finish and my boy has called me to invite me to have a glass of ice cream, so cute, although it may not be very wise to play dirty with the war I have against the sugars in my body, but it will be good to close a day as hot as today before arriving home.

Every day I try to comply with the rules, it is good to follow them, they are important and I will not try to underestimate them, at the end of the day I still have a lot of vacations and trips left to complete to see the whole world and who knows, maybe even I finally changed jobs.


Thank you very much for reading.

When I was at mom's place last month I had a few days of encounters with butterflies... they probably come when we cancel bad thoughts as you say. We are much more than a number paid for the work done. When I graduated I thought I would work at the same place until I retire. Well, I changed even country (so the workplace too) and now I am again standing at a small crossroads - what I know is wherever we are we should not be afraid of being great 🦋

I'll keep your last sentence, - wherever we are, we should not be afraid to be great.

I have already lost one great opportunity, I will not lose the second one again...it is simply having the courage and the necessary attitude.

I am glad that your changes were positive, maybe you will have to take on others, but always do it with the idea that it will be for the best and with a lot of positivity.

My best encouragement and wishes to you.

He notado que ahora ya casi no se ven mariposas. En mi niñez recuerdo que en esta época del año eran algo común. Con formas y colores diferentes, teníamos para escoger. Recuerdo hasta una vez que dentro de la casa una oruga hizo el capullo y lo estuvimos vigilando para ver el momento en que la mariposa salía. Entonces no teníamos celulares con cámaras que todo lo documentan. 🤪

Pero todo ha cambiado significativamente con respecto a la naturaleza que nos rodea. ☹️

Quise comentar solo sobre las buenas cosas de tu post y noto que terminé arruinándolo al inmiscuir el cambio climático en el asunto. 🤷

Yo también regresé al trabajo (al estatal) el lunes. Me encontré "mariposones" esperando por mí 😂😂😂 No, en serio, siempre hay alegría en el regreso...

Seguiremos encontrándonos por aquí, no te pierdas 😉 🌻

couldn't help but laugh at your comment, I have to do a little readjusting with the exchange schedules here at Hive, I'm way out of date..😐😂

As for climate change and butterflies, I don't know if it was an age thing, but it had been many years since I had seen so many together, and in courtship, they were two by two, will butterflies be monogamous...maybe yes, because they have a short life cycle.

I remember in kindergarten, when I was 6 years old, I was chasing a lot of butterflies, how-weird, I seem to have been impressed, because now, as you say, they do not look like that any more.

Job 1 started on Monday, job two, thirteen a week is permanent and job three, Hive, is daily...in the end there is always little time left.

Aren't we supposed to work less as we get older?
In my case it is the opposite, and that of most Cubans.

I'm going to update with Hive, I feel like I got lost for 48 hours.

Thanks @leopard0
