Saturday: how it was

Yup! In the end we went out for planet hunting all together - whole MC! Could not believe people would agree on my idea and would be persistent enough to look for those metal balls around Zagreb. But it happened! sooo coool!

At least 3 more plantes found are on our account. Hunting will be countinued as soon as Owen comes back from Kazan.

Photo report is coming soon:)

On the road

Mess in my head.

Afte 2 weeks finally got inspired to do something more than just routine and to meet burning deadines, few days ago crazily escaped from the empty and grey office to meet the spring with nice to my heart people, to get to know more people, discover 2 cities, breathe the sea, watch fat gulls and simply be less serious and laptop focused. To be a nomad. To enjoy it. And come back to Zg to work with full steam. Yeah, Tomislav, you missed a lot, dear ;)

Have never had characters from "On the road" which I am reading now in my head as role models or patterns to follow, but suddenly last night, having discovered this book in my backpack with money which I already despaired to find, I realized that this book with its characters is just the motto, the situations and behaviour patterns for my last 5 days.

To rush from the office to glavni koldvor, having spent just 15 mins on packing,just 5,5 hrs in the train and smiling and sweet Dunia, crazy Anton lifting me cos of excitement, walks, chats, 10 crazy rebelling interns, interns flat and sleeping in the boys room on 2 floor bed - knowing the fact that under you a very sexually harassing guy is sleeping (or maybe not sleeping?...), a very fruitful and inspiring meeting with Dunia (girl, I love you after all!) and chats with Dinko (man, Varazdin should finally rock!, wanna make an IM revolution with these smart guys... Saric, join us!!

A night walk and quick decision to catch a bus to Dubrovnik, rushing to the intern's flat to pack, discovering and immediately losing 100 euro somewhere - so all in all I had just 50 kn in my pocket. But this is nothing in comparison with forgetting to take my passport or any other paper proving my identity! And still being sure that I would cross the border with Bosnia. Twice!

A day in Dubrovnik - awesome! "I am a gull" feeling,old city, salty wind, oranges from the street trees for lunch, getting lost in the old covered with bricks streets, leaving a part of my soul somewhere high on the city walls, enjoying the sun, the wind, the sea, the ancient spirit, the islands view... I loved it! A place to come back again and again.

Btw, walknig on the walls was set for free - without any 140 kn paid - just followed the old Russian tradition to enter the passage with the sign 'stop' at the entrance :)

Food for the whole day - a couple of oranges and a sandwich.

Then again Split, mad interns, crazy people and lovely faces at EB elections - only there I realized how rarely I see these people and how much I like them.
Internet in the cafe and again walk, walk, walk..touching the old walls and feeling that my mind would blow up cos of so intense antique spirit everywhere.
Another round of regrets of not being an archeologist.

Food for the whole day - a cup of coffee and handful of chips and slani stapici.

Rush for the train to Zagreb and "I am at home" feeling having found an empty compartment. Arranged my sleeping place on 3 seats and getting ready to meet my home Zagreb in the morning.

Some days of the intense work in the office.
And I am again on the road.

Still increasing

Well, it's going to be a real soap opera from the motherland of this type of TV crap.

To my polite request to specify his questions and spheres of interest in Cro, I got an answer - [here goes the summary] there is no specific questions, just interested in everything in general, want to apply here cos the plane ticket as no as expensive as to Iceland, want to apply for OGX or another position sth connected with health, don't remember the exact name.
Rrrr
But wait, I am nice and polite, so going to write a polite reply...

Breathe in an out, in and out...

Increasing my level of tolerance

Sometimes irresponsibility or not thinking well while writing emails makes me laugh or feel sorry for people. If a person is really interested in an opportunity, how can he send such childish mails?
"I'm writting to you because i´ve read information that in your country has launched other round of application, So i'm interesting to know more about it and that you let me know your experience."

That's it.. Does this person think I will repost or translate my blog or prepare him the whole set of links and docs he might be interested in if I don't even know for which position he wants to apply...

But ok...Breathe in and out. Calm sown. Get a grip now. And go to write a polite answer to ask for clarifications.

Online MC meeting. 2nd edition.

Currently I'm having 2nd MC meeting in my life. And 2nd MC online meeting. Such a strange feeling and situation. The first MCM was on April 27th, right at the last night before my final state exam. It was quite messy, Ana was late for 4o minutes, then she had some troubles with the Internet, we couldn't use Skype to talk, but all in all it was funny, we joked a lot, got a lot of new about each other...including what sense of humour each one has and when we have our bdays:) So I was inspired immensely and felt already that I am a part of this team, though I realized it would be a tough attempt to form a real team - we are sooooo different.

My 'communication daddy' Stepa was right - I am moving from one team of freaks, defects, idiots, schizophrenics to another bunch of freaks...

And I am ready to state - I am not afraid of it! If living among freaks is my fate, so I will accept it and get as much positive experience as I can. Btw, I read today - Our world is so mad, that being normal in this world is to be really bad. This is absolutely true.

And for the second MC meeting we have same problems - Ana is quite late, but Jelena beat her record and was 40 mins late - she moved to Zagreb this morning, a bit tired and moreover had a phone call about our flat.

So many amazing news, so many informative talks about my and Owen's coming to ZG, visa issues, our flat (with or without masina za robu bar hehehe)....but without agenda. The last thing appeared only few minutes ago - Owen being TM and LCD, SLDC and means of communications (the last option was suggested by me :P). I am glad that my offer to use googlegroups was accepted easily. So now I am googlegroup responsible.

Well...the outcome of the whole meeting however is a vague feeling that I am getting lost in huuuuuge piles of documents I am obliged to have to get my work permit. Hope I will fight with it asap.

P.S. Why didn't they ask me to get a paper that I am not a tram? It should also be very important for permit:P
