Sensations

I recently had one of these moments where you are so stricken by something you get into the denying mood. It’s just can’t be true you keep saying to yourself. And then, when it sinks in, you realize it is. Another thought gets through your mind that is even more unsettling – why do I care? I shouldn’t at all feel any way about it, but nevertheless, being honest to myself, I do. And that makes one feel even more uncomfortable and weird.

Summer dress code

When I started in my current job I was provided with the detailed instructions on the dress code and what a business casual outfit should look like. Not willing to appear a hypocrite, I am hereby declaring that the clothes some ladies wear at work in summer time cannot be called business casual. As a matter of fact they can hardly be called clothes at all.

Would you wear flip flops and pajama-like looking shorts with a sleeveles top to work? Some outfits look really not suitable - even for gardening in your backyard I would say. Even though dressing comfortable is a good habit, there are some limits to what should be acceptable for office wear.

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.

One of those days

Do you know this feeling when you are so proud and happy with yourself? I just had one of such moments where I want to stand in front of the mirror and say "Who is the smart girl? Look at yourself - you are such a smart girl!" Although, in general I am really critical about the abilities of my mind :)

Take it easy

I like people who see life as an adventure – they mostly improvise and do not spend much time planning. One of my beliefs about life is that it pays you back – when you say life sucks, it eventually does. But when you keep smiling through hardships, a ray of sun appears in the darkness.

I always smile when I see people trying to “keep their lives under control”. They remind me of the boy I met on the train ride in an amusement park. He took the seat on the “loco” and was turning the steering wheel announcing that he was actually driving the train. The right approach to life is to relax and enjoy the ride :)
