un italiano vero

I do speak three languages, but Italian is not one of them. Despite this fact I've spent some time over the last two days translating parts of a contract in Italian, whereas I had to manually type the whole thing into the translator - it's saved as pdf picture and I cannot copy and paste the text. It's fascinating to some extent - where I can guess meaning of certain words. I also noticed that the typing speed increased over time. :)

My work

The longer I work for my company, the more I like it here. My new position is quite challenging, but that's what makes it interesting. I also really like people I work with - both peers and senior staff. I am also really grateful that the company decided to give me a chance to prove who I was despite of my lack of the mysterious Canadian experience.

I've been with the company for over a year - which is actually pretty impressive for me - the longest I've been employed by the same company was 1.5 years. :) I hope I will beat this record this time.
