As per your request again

Some more photos here for all of you. The beach right outside of my apartment is the one on the right here. Its in a cove so the entire area is surrounded by green bluffs and out in the distance (not in this picture, but I'll show you one later) you can even see the are where the pub is. The second picture, down below, is the street where I live right now. 26 wesley street, temporary home. My house is the one on the left with the light blue above the door. The street is pretty quiet except for the damn seagulls that congregate on the rooftop every morning and night and don't stop yelling.

Pub work is pretty interesting right now. I think most interesting is the difference between how both Paul and I are feeling here. Basically, we arrived to work under teh pretense that our boss might need some help in the kitchen from us and that we would work outside and as cooks. Paul was put behind the bar first, being here a day before, and I was put on the floor. Once it became clear that he could kick obviously kick butt and do a lot better than the lazy useless people that work here he was put there full time. Unfortunatly, bosswoman Sonia needed someone in the kitchen so I've been placed there for the past week, learning to make carbonara and chocolate cake. Still, not the most fun place to be for 12 hours. Either way, Paul is absolutly in love with his job, cause it goes in line with his previous sales stuff and race experience, but I'm kind of waffling in the kitchen looking for an out.

I decided to talk to Sonia yesterday and gave her my impressions, basically telling her that Paul and I could easily be her best employees if put in the proper positions. i'm sure she could plainly see that with Toddman behind the bar. She gave me some story about someone being on vacation and whatnot but I pressed her and told her that while I could help when she needed it, I wasn't a chef and she was wasting me. The thing is, I have no ties right now to the bar so I could walk away when I want and she'd be in trouble. I think this mean s that she knows she will have to change something soon or risk losing me. Advantage: Dzido :-)

Besides all that, the kitchen has its moments. A bunch of Romanians, Poles and Aussies singing Eminem and Bob Marley or chasing each other with soapy squirt bottles makes for some hilarious moments. Also, I'm not as hungry as I used to be, and no mom, I'm not feasting only on desserts. So it it fun, the problem is we work ridiculous shifts sometimes and when you're at the pub for 12 hours you need to do something you enjoy most of the time, not some of the time.

And as a finale, here's a wayback playback picture. Day 2 of our trip in Cesky Krumlov with our first beers in Europe and our first communal dinner.

Wow, my hair is short and wow Paul's hair is long. I'll see if I can get some photos from teh pub up, maybe in my workclothes and longer hair
