Through my life I’ve been in many believable messes and quite some twilight zones alike. I can’t blame it on fate or anything else except myself. Yes, I am the true forger of my destiny. Each action leads to a reaction but, most importantly, words rule. As the Chinese proverb says: “Beware of what you wish, you may get it”.
As far as I can remember I always got what I wanted in life - sooner or later. Mainly later I must confess. Why? Because I wished for it. I know that a Cartesian mind will laugh at it but it works for me and that is enough to believe in it. My first working day at Airbus I got to register for a temporary ID Card. Only a valid ID Card would get me in the Airbus premises. I work there via a company called Infotel, so I informed the lady at the reception desk that I was coming from Infotel in order to get my ID. But she found me under the Cassin Company instead. She was a little bit unsure to provide me my ID and I couldn’t think of a reason why I was under a wrong company name. After a few minutes of disbelief I remembered: I worked here in 2006!
By the time I worked at Airbus but not for Airbus. For my 2006 birthday I was putting pavement around the Airbus canteen near the B22 building. Cutting, posing and aligning stones to create a path all around the new restaurant. A hard working day perturbed by the many white and blue collars not understanding that literally walking on my work was not the best to do. Besides that we finished it in around a week - a job I was gladly leaving to go to Germany instead after almost a year of hard labour. That day I remember I told myself: “One day I will work here too”.
Coming back from memory land I sighed with relief and looked at the receptionist explaining her the situation. In a matter of minutes all was set and I got not a temporary but a permanent ID Card. Entering the gate I knew I managed to get what I wanted again. A quick walk around my new office I realized that I was going to work in the B22 building, a sparse hundred meters from where I made my original wish. Smiling I walked the same way I paved five years ago and I stopped abruptly. I realized that I had made more wishes since then.
