The most unholy Fiesta in the world

The guys at Hertz gave me a nice Ford Fiesta 1.2 liters. Got it for 25 euros a day, good price you would say.

Problem is....it drives just 9 kms with a liter of petrol!!

Next time rent me a Corvette, I would be better off.

Hey guys at Ford, where is the secret tank where you steal the gas?

Tuesady bloody tuesday

Yesterday night has been a night of shock and unjustness for Mr. Pey on Piedmont's tarmac.

Mr. Pey had just finished a chilling 11 hours working day in the office and he was driving back home after a luxurious dinner in Autogril.

Some pretty nice smurfs stopped me in the middle of nowhere between Turin and my golden home town Cuneo. The beasts were sitting hidden behind a curve. It was almost midnight and I was the only soul God was watching over in that area.

Master Smurf stops me with a light but without an official sign. I don't really understand what this guy wants and I stop about 30 meters after their roadblock.

Master Smurf has been very professional and polite with me.

The only problem is that the bastard gave me a fine for "dangerous driving". There was no speed trap or anything similar. Master Smuft says it is his personal judgment that counts. His helper confirms...

Bottom line Mr. Pey gets other 5 points down from his driving license and he is now on the edge of not needing a company car anymore. I will probably buy a Vespa and visit the customers with a t-shirt with "Power to the people" written on it...

But Mr. Pey does not surrender to defeat.

May the God of Speed be with all of us! Keep gas guys, keep gas...

PS: anybody knows a cheap and good lawyer...?

New Year's Eve Event

Guys, dices are shot... we've booked for Les Deux Alpes. From Dec, 30th 'il Jan 6th.

We're 4 (Mr. Roby, Mr. Fede, Mr. Luca and me) so far but we're open to anybody that wants to join...

Will keep you posted, right now we're thinking what to write on the t-shirts....

One down!

Willy Wonka (littelakes, you know the drill :)) is offically down and Pey will get fat...

First enemy's down, many to come. But with a bit more nuts in the basket.

It looks like this one is NOT going to be a working weekend. Well deserved price...

The only capital...

Incredible but true, my Rome-Milano flight of yesterday had only 15 mins of delay. Best record ever...

Captain speaking: "The weather at destination is nice, around 12 degrees celcius". Nice indeed, but next time please also remember to say that is foggy....

I've rented a fantastic Ford Fiesta. Looong time I was not driving such a wreck. Hertz has a fantastic business model, returning the car in a different station costs 50Es, returning the navigation system in a different station costs 250. It's basically cheaper just to buy it!

Tonite I'm meeting Mr Hugo Lo Rocks.... will try to sell him a pair of Burton socks.

Barcelona rocks...

Ok guys, my plane leaves again in 3 hours. This time it's going to be north of Italy. Before going blogging Barcelona is a must...

Everything started on Friday, 17th. Plane, queue, security checks, delay...usual stuff. Our flat was in the Barrio Gothique, fantastic place. 11 of us, pretty an aggressive crew...

Friday we started with dinner at 2 AM and then club. We started clubbing at 3.30 and the place was still empty. While I was cuba libring the bar tender told me: "people normally come at 4". Well, standard of business conduct I would say. Ended in bed at 6, ready for a Saturday visitig Gaudis' houses.


Saturday was a sunny and warmy day. Sightseeing, shopping and getting ready for the night. It sounded like new years' eve night. Dinner at 11 and then double club shot: Universal and Suttan.



I was very shy and dismissed, as usual.... :) ended in bed at 8 sharp. The pillow had Martini's taste. Donno why. The plane was at 13....

Barcelona, I'll be back! Kind of soon...

Go Pey Go!

Right back

Just landed from Barcelona, blogging from my mobile while waiting my luggage...

A hell of a weekend but only 9 hours of sleep. That makes me way behind sleeping schedule. How nice to have a meeting tomorrow at 9...

Will post some pics when I will come back from the darkness... :)

Getting old...

Guys, today is officially my birthday. Many more things to come...

Long live Pey!

And Pey said: "let there be video"

After months of darkness and of static images, videos came. Roby, nice Montecarlo!

PS: Laura, next time you want to shoot a picture press the button with a camera on printed on it...

Italians do it better!

He might be right in principle... but French lovers mmmmm.

Italians do it better!

PS: Ups, probably a head kick just hit me and I forgot. We're also World Champions! hihihi

7 MIL to go...

Ok, today I got THE call. fiscal year 2007 target for my little ferry tail is 7 MIL nuts. Deadline is October, 31st 2007. FY 2006 was at 320 K nuts.

Ok that we want to focus but grow rate at 4 digits might be a bit... crazy!

Never mind, will cycle my bike 'll the crossing line. It's only 19178 nuts per day. A hell of a stomach aches...

GO Pey GO, you're just 287671 late...gops!

Videos...

It's official, everything you always wanted is coming...

CTO of my blog confirms that we will have videos in the short future...

Leading Edge, Bleading Pey :(

Addicted to that rush!

I would like to start a debate on standard business hours. You guys please post comments.

My question is: "Is 8 AM a proper business hour to get called? We're not talking emergencies here."

Looking forward to your opinions... Today I'm enjoying my boss' call at 8 AM saying that I need to push out a deal... by Monday. Fantastic timing and a great weekend is coming up!

Never give up!

One hour of free air

Guys, I'm leaving the office for the first time before 8 PM this week.

I'm a bit scared of what there might be out there so I will probably just end to walk around in the parking. Company parking, of course. Very enterprise....

Logoff

Ready to surf

It took me 4 days but I finally managed to finish to setup my new bindings on the snowboard. It has been a very fine engineering excercise made of carving angle computation and stance distance analysis. But the finest ingredient has been improvvisation, as usual :).

Now I just need some snow to try it out...

The sweet smell of smokers

Yesterday night was match night: Rome vs. Florence for the Italian football premier league.

I don't give much of a damn about premier league but I couldn't miss the event... We went together with the core of Rome's supporters. Guys, really cool experience. I think I've learnt 10 new ways to call somebody else’s mother and 100 new ways to call somebody else’s sisters. I also didn't know that the word referee had so many synonyms.

To celebrate this new piece of culture, I had quite some Borghettis (coffee with some spirit) and I closed my night at Guinness. Fantastic way to kick off a brand new week...

Forza pupone!

PS: thanks to Baldo's phone call in the middle of the match I can confirm that it takes Rai several seconds to broadcast the match to California. Absolutely inacceptable...

Luca: The Orchestrator

Trustful sources report that Luca went out for dinner with 10 women on Saturday night. I don't think we can call this gang-bang, I think he already moved next generation.

Looks like he's now Orchestrating his sex life, making it a symphony of perversion and supreme ecstasy.

May the force be with you, Luca.

My new fidancee

Ok, I'm officially engaged with my new boss. He called me at 21.35 on Friday night and again at 16:00 on Saturday. He was probably missing me so we also excanged some texts on Saturday.

How sweet...

7:58 AM

What is the best way to start a new assignment in the fairy multinational?

Be woken up at 7:58 AM by your new manager that wants to welcome you in the job and motivate you to be on edge. At that time of the morning I'm rather on pillow....

I managed to provide confused answers with an hang-over voice... if I would only have had just a beer the night before...

Go Pey Go!

Tequila Jack

Yesterday Gabor woke up with mercy and sent some pictures of our German's fatigues.


Go Tequila Jack Go. You definitively are on the roadmap to CEO...
