Complaints and fun

Yesterday we spent a really interesting afternoon at Pécs. I reinforced my dubious reputation of making complaints everywhere, too.
Though Kökény is only 7 kms from Pécs, it was much simpler to go by bus. We got on the bus — the driver typed “250″ in the ticket machine, asked for 350 forints, and gave no [...]

The lake at daytime

We decided to check out the frozen lakes in daylight, too, so we went for a short walk and made some photos. Unfortunately, I was not really in the mood and I was really cold, too, so we just walked around the smaller lake. However, the task is done.
This is the most interesting photo from [...]

Some experimental holiday photography I.

I spend the end of the year at V.’s parents’. At last I have time to catch up with my things. I have many letters to write, many software to try out. I also barely had time to make photos lately. Fortunately here I have the opportunity to test myself at special circumstances.
One evening we [...]

Double Christmas

For me, Christmas Eve is certainly one of the most important moments of the year. Usually I spend the time with my most loved ones; we have fun together and enjoy each other’s company and think of nothing else. Since both me and V. prefers to spend Chirstmas Eve with our own family, last year [...]

Christmas shopping

Unlike some men, I really have no problem with shopping. I mean sensible shopping. In case we are shopping for shoes, for example, I am ready to visit every single shoe store. I am ready to wait until my darling tries on the potential models. I am even ready to go back, if we visited [...]

No pain, no gain

After my first complete week at my new job, I had to participate at a workshop on the weekend. I arrived home on Sunday afternoon, my head full with new information — at least I can be considered fairly competent at one of the three main fields I have to work on.
At first I was [...]

Eavesdropper’s Log

My office is on a straight corridor. The rooms open to the corridor, and also to the adjacent rooms — so you can hear quite well what’s going on at your neighbours. The room left to mine is empty. On the right, my neighbor is a young mother, who apparently comes to work to make [...]

The very best very first day

I know it was just my first day, but I simply love my new job. I have to work together with streamlined professionals, on  a wonderfully complex and interesting field. I have my own office, my own telephone number, my own, brand-new e-mail address. I even got a security card to the building, so I [...]

Event-packed weekend

Mission more or less completed, now I only have to close the project: write some summaries, fill out some forms, and collect the money. I am certainly more clever than I was a month ago. I am also ready to take my new job, where, if no disaster happens in the next two days, I [...]
