shoemaker phenomenon

For more than a week now, I'm wearing winter boots to work. No, it's not soooo cold in Poland yet. It's just that I lost part of the heel of my autumn shoes and I need to go to the shoemaker to have them repaired. The shoemaker's shop is open when I'm at work. That's just a minor thing but there are so many others that I'm not able to do because of the same reason. How do people working from 9 to 6 exist? Do they waste the whole of Saturday running those errands???? It sucks.

autumn weekend

I had really good time this weekend. On Saturday we had the assessment centre as part of the recruitment for new members. Big scale event: 80 people, 30 assessors, 15 facis. Well done "kids":-) I was one of the assessors. My comment: you tend to be much less strict when assessing the first group than when assessing the last one. So take the advice: whenever you have the possibility to choose between hours, the earlier you take part in the assessment, the better. Assessors wouldn't take revenage on you for being tired:-)

Today I went with Radek to Lazienki Park. It was so beautiful: yellow and red leaves on the trees, squirelles, peacocks. I enjoyed my time so much that haven't even noticed crowds of people everywhere;-) Relaxed, I had a nice talk with Bassion to end the day...So good...Why does it have to be Monday tomorrow????





PS. I was offically confirmed as the so-called "Reception Commander" for my LC, really need start doing something right now:-)

Back to Warsaw

I know I should have written something earlier, I'm sorry:-)

First of all thank you all the Beijing people for the series of farewall parties. They were super cool. Have you noticed that last night there were only us on the dancefloor. I didn't realize it until the next day...so you really rocked :-D

I'm back to Warsaw now. As some remeber straight after coming back home I started my internship. To be honest it's a bit dissapointing - I'm repeating the same tasks most of the time, was supposed to do sthg else but still waiting for the access to all the systems - banks and their standards, procedures and superexcessive paperwork:-/It's gradually getting better though, but very slowly. At least the people are nice there and being very very very proactive I learn sthg new from time to time;-) . But anyway it's definately not as special as Beijing adventure... I work there from 9 to 5 almost every day, attending only 3 classes a week and not really feeling like the student.

I need to go for the assesors training right now... I promise to write more regularly from now on:-)
