Additional Information: Early morning. Campo 24 de Agosto. In 4 minutes, you are clocking in at the office. After grabbing a cup of coffee and fresh fruit, pick up your laptop and choose your spot for the day. It's going to be a busy one: French class before lunch and, just after, a quick medical appointment at Natixis doctor's office. Lunch break. Outside in the big terrace or, if you feel like stretching your legs, walk downtown to grab lunch. Back inside. Quick sprint review. The afternoon went flying (tasks, reports, calls, some jokes with your teammates). End it on a high note: just one PlayStation game or the final match for that ping-pong tournament.
