I've had some really long entries lately, that must be annoying, but now I have a chance to write more often, so I'll keep them shorter.
My dog has got pimples. I didn't even know dogs could have them, but hey they have skin, so they might as well get pimples. Is she in the teenage stage already, I wonder. She'll be 4 months soon and they become mostly mature at about 10 months :) Anyway, it could be from what I'm feeding her, because I'm kinda bad at that. I eat a lot of junk food myself and I give my dog things she's not supposed to have.
Like recently we went to McDonalds and we shared a coffee and chicken nuggets. I share pretty much everything with her, my vet is going to kill me, but I can't help it. Well, my old do Vaxa had shared my meals too and she's happened to steal and eat boxes of chocolate and cookies and she's been in decent health, except now she's getting sick, but it's because she's 15 years old, which in dog years is like mid-80-ies for us.
My aunt and my cousin really like Happy. I was worried because my aunt is such a clean-freak, she keeps her place perfect and shiny, but she let's Happy do her stuff and seems to like her a lot. Recently we went grocery-shopping together and she goes: "what kind of bread should we get? Oh, let's get this one, Happy likes this one!" Then we pick meat for the stew, my aunt picked up the package with a nice big bone, so Happy can have her share as well. That was really sweet of her. She also told my little cousin: "You should talk to papa so he'd let us have a puppy too." I have a really nice family.
My aunt is friends with Tatiana, my former mentor-colleague. So we've been talking last night about how the big boss doesn't like the new girl and was really upset with my leaving the job, he even asked Tatiana to double my salary and see if I'd go back. My aunt was like: "maybe you should stay, it's been a year, and you've made good connections and you can have a good future here." Apparently Tatiana still has hopes I might decide to stay. That is nice... Maybe there could be a way for me to stay, but really, I know I don't want to live here. Right now everything is perfect - I'm staying with aunt, I have a puppy, I don't have to work and I can go to dance classes any time I want to... I'm really happy again. But seriously, this couldn't last forever. If I decided to stay, I'd have to get a job again, and find a place to rent again (after bad landlord experience I really don't want to rent again!). It would all go bad again. Moscow is a great place to visit, but not a good place to live. That's my conclusion. In many ways, I'm just lucky to have a choice - stay or go back, equally promissing. I just feel that if I could be useful in Moscow, then I'd be certainly very useful on my island, where they need cool people like me, you know :)

Yulia,
I have missed you, and was thrilled to hear from you again. You're a great long-distance friend.
But...chicken nuggets are not for dogs! :D

Wow if they doubled my salary I'd wipe their arse for them!
I don't know.., I really admire you for being a free spirit, for daring to just pack up and go. I find it inspiring, but haven't got the guts to do that yet. And. I. Hate. My. Workplace.
Haha!
Try some pimple cream for Happy! ;)(Reply to this) (Thread) |

Yeah nice that you have family in Moscow. How many years were you with this place? I love my job but hate the place. I think the people you work with / for really make or break it. In your case I think the lady whom u used to get into scrapes with are pretty darn scary :) And your boss sounds stupid, sorry :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread) |

Well, I just want to be outside the office, the job and the boss would have been fine with me if only I didn't have to spend the whole day inside. I left my previous job because it was an office job, even though I had a great team there and I've been promissed "flexible schedule" at this workplace, but it mostly meant unpaid overtime. Other than that, it was interesting. Stressful, of course, but I hated it because I had to spend at least 8 hours a day in the office. I need a job where I can move and have more variety in the schedule. If you job problem is the people you work with, then at least you know it's not because you're doing something you're not meant to do, you're just with the wrong people. Do you like what you do, at least? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread) |

Yulia, I have been taking dancing classes (Latin-American style), and practise every day. It's so good to be back into dancing again. I just can't believe I stopped doing it. Hope to share more with you soon, take care, Monica (Reply to this) (Thread) |
