Siesta
Spain is a beautiful country with many unique things; the wine is wonderful, the food is excellent and the women are passionate. But above all, I love the mind-set of the Spaniards; they do work hard, but believe me they also know how to chill. For example, in most Spanish companies almost all employees are allowed a whole month of holiday. Well isn’t that a wonderful thing? Also, people in Spain simply live their lives to the full, without worrying too much. If you have ever visited this sunny country you will know exactly what I mean. All Spaniards are laid back, they like to enjoy themselves even when then they are at work. We are all familiar with the famous siesta habit. Put simply this is a short nap which usually takes place around noon, just after the locals have had a gorgeous meal.
And here is why I love this tradition so very much: I simply hate the afternoons, especially during the working week. There is nothing worse than being sleepy after a meal without being able to lay dawn for a quick nap. At work, I usually I find myself drowsing on my desk, trying to think and keep my eyes open. It is a real miracle that my boss hasn’t found me sleeping on my desk yet. Also, don’t you just hate the time between 1pm and 4pm when everybody in the office suddenly become edgy. And I know the reason for this, they all want to be somewhere else, and not in the office. I hate the afternoon more than I hate Monday morning. I also hate Sunday afternoon. Oh my, don’t get me started on this horrible time of the week. At least I can video chat with my sister in France, simply because this is the only time of the week she has enough spare time to chitchat with me. I also hate Sunday because you know that on the next day you have to wake up early and drag yourself to work.
