A Working Day in the Life of….me!
Here’s a little insight into what makes the day go by---
7:45
Wake up even though I should be at work at 8. Sometimes I wake up later. Depends on whether the boss is in or not.
8:30ish
Arrive to work. Turn computer on. Make tea.
8:30-12:15
Check my email.
Read world news.
Write emails.
Read blogs.
Googletalk!
Maybe have 1 conversational English lesson. Most likely not.
Try to stay awake, especially if have gone out the night before.
Drink more tea. Maybe even some hot chocolate.
Coordinate lunch date with other trainees.
12:15-1:15
Lunch with other trainees
Reflect on the events of the night before which may or not include drunken hilarity. If yes, try to figure out what happened with collective memory. Maybe plan for fun later that night. Or, attempt to make conversation but just have everyone look back at you with the “I’m hung-over” eyes.
1:15-4:30 (unless I go home earlier, which is likely if the boss isn’t around)
Maybe have 1 English lesson, most likely not.
Try to stay awake, am tired after food!
Update the blog if am not feeling too lazy.
Upload pictures if not feeling too lazy.
Write more emails.
Read more news.
Googletalk!
Wait for my sister to come on the computer in Canada and email chat.
Search for meaningful jobs so never have to do this again.
Try not to poke eyes out from boredom.
Make personal phone calls.
Make tea/hot chocolate.
Go home. Take a nap as am tired from stressful day.
During the entire day the Europa 2 radio station is playing. They have 5 songs on their playlist. Their 3 favourites are “Camisa Negra” by Juanes, “No Fear” by the Rasmus, and “Cim to je” by some Czech/Slovak band. They are also quite fond of “La Tortura”. These top songs have been the same since August when I got here. I will know the words to Camisa Negra for the rest of my life. Really.
Suggestions for ways to entertain myself while sitting in front of a computer that blocks pages randomly if they fit into the following categories are appreciated.
Komercni Banka Blocked categories
Adult/Sexually Explicit (understandable)
Chat (no msn, but googletalk!)
Criminal Skills (really, what does this mean?)
Drugs,Alcohol & Tobaccco (erm…ok)
Gambling (don’t have money for this anyway)
Games (tetris would be so good)
Glamour & Intimate Apparel (no Victoria Secret!)
Hacking (I don’t know how to do this anyway)
Hobbies & Recreation (no fun!)
Photo Searches (you can still do image searches on google, but some photo websites don’t open)
Remote proxies (huh?)
Sex Education (Sorry Salt ‘n’ Pepa)
Shopping (no e-bay!)
Streaming media (no radio or video)
Violence (feeling a little violent)
Weapons (where’s my fun at?)
Web based Email (google works, hotmail doesn't--thank god for google!)
