Prague by night

I don't have anything special to write about but I looked at my friend's blog and she hasn't write for a month so I don't want to be so bad. Monday was a fun day. I worked on a night shift (4.30 p.m. till 1 a.m.). I didn't want to do that especially come back in the middle of the night. But actually work was much better, 'cause nobody was in the office except for of us working on poker site. As usually no e-mail, so we played office volleyball - with big beach ball so we wouldn't destroy anything. And people was better, in the morning is boring, we don't talk much, everybody is doing something on the internet and that's all. With the night shift it was more fun. Afterwards we went to a pub, it was the last day at work for one of the guys. It was fun, I went to other places than usual, with other people. And came back very late (actually it was already early), but we went out after 1 a.m.
It is possible that I will change a job. This guy who left propose me to go with him to the other company, they need Polish speaker. I talked with the boss, it looks fine, but nothing sure yet. They offer better condition and more benefits so why not. Especially that playing poker is not my future. We'll see...

Beztroskie życie

Ile wysiłku mnie kosztowało napisanie tego postu....od rana próbowałam się dostać na swoje konto i nie mogłam, w końcu dało radę. Tak to jest jak się nie pamięta ani hasła ani nazwy użytkownika.
A chciałam rano napisać, bo się bardzo zdenerwowałam. Czym? Polityką! Przeczytałam sobie gazetę i po prostu ręce opadają. Bardzo się cieszę, że jestem tutaj i nie słyszę tego wszystkiego i nie widzę. Jedna wielka porażka. Tutaj jest spokojniej, mimo że prezydent, Klaus ma swoje problemy i ma zagrywki populistyczne, to Czechom ogólnie to wisi. A dlatego, że żyje im się wygodnie, mają pracę i niezłe zarobki, mieszkania itp. A u nas wszysko do góry nogami. Niektórzy (akurat nie Czesi) nie chcą mi uwieżyć, że skończyłam studnia i to podwójne i robię to, co robię. Ale po pierwsze w Polsce jest jak jest i wylądowałabym w o wiele gorszym miejscu, a najprawdopodobniej nigdzie. A po drugie, całkiem fajna jest ta praca. Dla mnie "sukces" nie jest celem, a przynajmniej nie sukces mierzony pieniędzmi.
To wracam do mojej "pracy", czyli zagram parę partyjek pokera :)

Let it snow

It's snowing!!! Actually, it has been snowing at night and while I was going to work and now it stopped but snow is still everywhere. And it's beautiful. In the morning I opened curtains a little bit to find my clothes (I didn't want to turn on the light cause Prince was sleeping) and I was very surprise and at first didn't know what's going on. Everything was white! Fortunately, I got my package with winter clothes last week.
As I mentioned, I'm at work now. Nothing is happening so I can do whatever I want. And it's Saturday and I've been working the whole week. At least I have tomorrow free. Actually, I'm happy I'm "working" - I'll get paid or playing poker. The whole week I've been playing poker. We've got only one e-mail for the whole team so we're mostly bored. Especially those who lose their play money too fast and don't have anything to do for the rest of a day. I'm doing well in poker. And I like playing cards a lot so I enjoy the job :)
I'm going back to "work".

Enjoying the weekend

Yesterday I got a notice that there is something waiting for me in the post office so today we made the whole excursion there being sure that it's a package from home with my winter clothes and birthday present. We waited there for an hour and a half to get ...some stupid letter confirming that I'm paying for social security here in the Czech republic! I know it's important, but it was very disappointing. And annoying waiting there for so long just to get it! Well, now prince is taking an afternoon nap and I will probable read something or clean kitchen. It's quite annoying that our flat mates tend not to do anything in the flat like taking out the trash or cleaning bathroom. At least they aren't messy and wash their dishes because I wouldn't manage another year like my last in Krakow - ALWAYS dirty dishes in the sink and two people who don't care about others at all. No, Lida and Ales are o.k. just sometimes you wish somebody else to clean the bathroom. But it's fine in general.

Texas hold'em

I started my new job today, actually had just a training. Probably it was the most fun training I've ever had and will have. For most of the day we learned how to play poker! It was great fun especially since I won everything! All the chips on the table were mine! It was the first time I played poker at least with betting. I think my dad tried to teach me poker one time but we never got beyond the rules and hands. So I did quite well today. We'll see how the real job will look like.

A perfect birthday cake

I'm a year older :) but it happens to all of us. Monday was the best day ever, probably my best birthday and all because of my Prince. He brought me roses right when I got up and we spend the whole day together. In the evening we went to the sushi restaurant. It was great! I've never had sushi before and I could try all different kinds. And I learned how to use chopsticks! It isn't so difficult as it looks like. Sushi is a really good food, espeially when someone likes fish as much as I do. Amazingly even Prince likes it and he tries to avoid fish hen he can. Afterwards we went for a short walk in the center of Prague and it even wasn't so cold (we had ice cream and we didn't freeze). We had a great time. And I have something to read, sommething that I wanted to read in English for a long time - the Lord of the Rings part 1: The Fellowhip of the Ring!
Hmm, my describtion does't reflect how it was and why it was so greatt, but believe me, it was a perfect day. I felt really special for the whole time, not just five minuts when people wish you happy birthday and foreget about it. This was actually second part of my bithday celebration - on Friday we went to a pub near by with Lida and Ales and Olga. It was quite nice and multinational. After some time our guys left us so we could freely talk as girls do and enjoy being without out men :)
And I have a job! That's a nice birthday present too. Tomorrow is my first day. I'm not even nervous as I normall am in this kind of situation. I'm more sad that my "holidays" ends. I hope I'll like it. The atmosphere looks nice, a lot of young people for all over the world speaking different languages. We'll see.
Tomorrow I'm also starting my Czech lessons. I've got a book "Chcemy mowic po czesku" - Czech for Polish speakers. And tomorrow I'm going to hae lesson with Lida. It will be fun. It's always fun with Lida.
It all reminds me that a year ago I'd just came back from Poland to Sweden and something started to begin between me and my Prince. I had a very difficult time first realizing that then admit it and finally made a decision and finish all I left in Poland. Even though it was one of the most difficult decisions I made in my life, now I think I did the best thing. Because I have never been so happy before, never had someone so good and loving as my Prince.

New day, new opportunities

I'm having an interview tomorrow. In my perfect job :) I found it in summer, but they had somebody before I applied. And now they're looking for a Polish speaker again. So hopefully I'll get the job. Keep your fingers crossed!
