Time has been passing quickly here in Weymouth. After all the trouble of

the early days at the pub I've managed to accept a rickety balance with my boss. By shortening my hours so that I have time to explore the town and look for jobs I no longer feel like I'm working constantly. Also, after talking with Sonia I had her put me on the floor as a waiter with some shifts as a chef when they need an extra person. That's right, chef. I believe I deserve a proper job title. Here's a nice view of our place of work during the

day. The ocean is just to the right and the photo to the right is the top of the hill at the pub parking lot where I walk up to check my messages during lunch. Not bad view, eh?
So now i see this job here as a base of sorts, for my job hunt in london which is definetly no easy task. Either way, I've had some fun moments in the kitchen, in the pub and in the city. I've gone windsurfing, jogging, walking on the beach and will hopefully keep exploring around here. There's some really cool jobs that I've been applying for, though if the adage that you get one reply for 100 cv's sent is true, then I have a long way to go yet. With my hours now, that's good because I can wake up in the morning and spend two hours looking for jobs on the net and reading.
I've recieved some compliments in the kitchen recently too, because I've picked up a lot quickly. My main plan for the kitchen though, is to learn a few recipies for home. Some of the sauces that they make are pretty easy and I'm sure I could export them to Americaland. As for the waitering side, there's some weird customers here. I had a man stop me while i was walking to get some food and this conversation ensued:
Man with pint of beer: "Hey! Why is your beer so expensive here?!"
Dzido with questioning look: "uh...I'm sorry sir, I don't set the prices"
Man: "I can get a pint like this in the city for 2 pounds less!"
Dzido: "Sorry sir, you must be paying for location, or my fantastic service. har har"
Man: "This is ridiculous, i shouldn't be paying so much!"
Dzido: "So why did you buy the pint then, you jerk"
Ok, so I didn't say that last line, but I was wondering why he was going off about it while he was drinking. Heh. Other than that, there's a lot of nice people here and they all assume that I'm

american. I usually have them guess where I'm from and they pick the weirdest countries, like Scandinavian stuff and places in Africa before they get Canada. Its fun though and a lot of them enjoy the accent.
Finally, an action shot from my apartment when Paul, Nicole and I wanted to yell. And Paul wanted to, as he said, "own us".
