Meetings' week
This past week went by with meetings. I had several meetings where I work at and this coming week will be no different. I will meet the IT unit and discuss that project manager position that they mentioned. Also the summer uni wants to take me over in full time so it seems that I may even get out of the situation with good cards. I just have to be very careful, not to get into a situation where I "fall in between the two chairs".
Also I had two meetings with some buyu from Hungary. One was with one of the dojo leaders in Budapest, and he wanted to meet because he wanted to "ask me for help". Basicaly his question was if I could recommend him a reliable instructor whom it is worth checking out and learning from. I was a bit surprised at the question because I was sure he already found his instructor and has been following that. It seems that he still needs something that this one can not entirely provide.
Anyhow, I told him that I am not sure that whom I recommend will really be suitable for him. Anyway, we agreed that I will let him know as soon as I find someone whom I think is really good and he has no preconceptions about, and is not at the other end of the globe.
However to tell the truth I seriously think that the purpose of this meeting was rather a kind of "cheek-visit", to keep in touch with a fellow buyu. Mere diplomacy, I could say. Anyway, I have no problem with that as long as it helps the cooperation between each-other.
The other meeting on Friday was with another buyu, a beginner from my former dojo, who since summer moved to another city. He however returns to Budpest time to time so at the meeting he asked me if I could spend some extra time on teaching him. Finally we agreed to meet on one of the islands in Budapest when the weather is getting better and his schedule is getting finalized.
It gives me about 1 more month probably.
I also felt some strange attitude in this guy. We met in a pizzeria and he was too courteous. You know, shirt, necktie, very embarrassed during the whole dinner, looking way too deep into my eyes, offering his arm while going to the train station. Although I like when men are curteous with me, but I am not really into this kind of behaviour because it was based on nothing from his side, and the last thing I want with him is an affair or anything like that. So I felt that he kind of intruded into my private sphere. He was not a pushy type but I am pretty sure that he wants more than just me teaching him BBT. So I have to be careful - I step back for a while and see how he survives.
So, this week was all crazy again.
Next week will be exciting, I can't wait to attend Thomas' seminar. I still don't know if the Iranian guy comes with me or not, he still does not have the visa. I feel that he won't make it this time. But he still has 4 days to make it, so it'll turn out a day before the departure the latest.
