Signed Sealed Delivered

Signed my new contract today and waited impatiently as my boss fluffed around the office until he was ready to reread and sign and then came the speeches...

All in all I am free of the office now and resigning myself to the fact that it isn't easy to get a job in europe, and anyone that says it is I want their email address...

I will be sooo happy when the third week in February arrives, I am getting out of Poland for a week and I will bask in the warmth of good friends. I agreed to the cover another teacher while he is on holidays so my evenings will be filled for the next 2 weeks. That is okay, too much time alone pickles your brain. add winter and uncertainly and you have a nice new depression...

I was looking through Flickr at photos of far off places and was wondering what it was like to feel the wind on your face in some castle purrapit in southern England. Driving on the CORRECT side of the road and the availablity of fish and chips (albeit not the same as what I am used to...), to absently listen to a radio and understand everything, watch the news, chat with random people and enjoy the dialogue... it will be a long time before I can do that again.

Tonight I am having dinner with my English English teacher friends before he heads off on holidays. So pizza and beer will be the fare of the day - not that there is much more to be had here in this town other than Polish food. I asked many students and few had tried Chinese food and less Japanese food or any other cuisine not of this nation, not very adventerous gastronomically... or in any other ways. But that happens in this big world, I am just here to observe it...
