It’s been my second day at work this calendar year, after a resting and full-of-food vacation, and yet I feel, you guessed it! dog tired. I blame this on my boss, on two dogs, on ice, on cold, and on the occasional drinking. And I hate mornings more.
In terms of planning, I used to suck at it. I still suck, but at least I suck better.
That would be me. In the words of someone I held in high regard.
Doll, I’m fine.
The dog has put me to the ground today. We were rollerblading in the park. My foot hurts now. It didn’t then. Anyways.
I got a mohawk haircut. A bit tilted. But it’s fun. It’s supposed to be that way. Fun, and tilted.
“What has inspired you to do that?”, he asked. “Not having to see clients”, I replied promptly. “I do FTP these days.”
The other absolutely extraordinary piece of news is that Parov Stelar has messaged me on Twitter, suggesting junodownload.com, when I have complained that his album is not available on iTunes Romania. So, here I am at 3 in the morning, listening to that, his latest release, Coco. After the call from the bank checking the validity of the internet card transaction. Pretty amazing stuff. Pretty good release!
Let me post a picture of the un-named one 
It’s been such a day. Move that to the left. No, too much, more to the right. Make that bold. Can we have it regular? I think it should be easier to spot that bit, maybe turn it into bold font, what do you think? kinda manoovering… but I’m smiling. I know the client. I know the material.
The king of the woods, otherwise a creature with some sense of humour, has made an impression on me by featuring a smart casual appearance in tracking sandals with socks. With socks! In 2009. From Brussels direct. Sandals’n’socks. I’ll be damned! This funny looking cameo came complete with a textile friendship wristband, and an écossais suit coat, casual Friday like.
But the funniest thing, and the saddest too, is that part of the accessorizing was a fellow colleague, the virulent critic kind. Eyes popped out not in a nice way kind.
To think these were people I used to bow for.
In other news, there was sun for my stroll downtown Krakow, with clouds and winds, my favourite weather. Lucky bastard I am.
I wanted to list this rant under the title “Today’s catastrophes”, but they are not. The cancellation of today’s soon-to-be-rescheduled Depeche Mode concert in Bucharest is hardly a today issue. I was looking forward to the concert tonight and depending on the new date I will have to see if I am available to attend.
My brother being dragged and pushed in his car by a TIR (long vehicle) yesterday is nor a catastrophe, nor a today’s catastrophe. Before rushing to label me as a heartless bastard, you will be happy to know he, his wife and their dog, all present in the car when it happened, are physically unharmed and my former car is badly scratched and bent, as far as I understand. but that is a piece of metal as far as I am concerned so I am not going to worry. Plus it is an ensured piece of metal.
As for me I am supposed to work on an urgent request to review a project. That’s what I call a shitty weekend rate. But it is my first time for this client, no way I am going to charge them the same next time, or there is not going to be a next time.
That, and I have got a sore throat and a hangover. Must work now. I hope to watch The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy on TV tonight.
It’s been so long since I have last been so involved in a work project. It feels good. The downsize is I have not been blogging in like a week.I am definitely hitting the road to Sinaia and Peles, to show our country to our special foreign guests :)
“You are so stupid, you’d be lucky I find you funny”, she said smilingly.
My mental reply was “Sure, you’re so full of shit because you’ve been eating and eating it since the beginning of times”.
The meeting was a success, all smiles and jokes.
My every muscle group hurts so much, I have decided I deserve to treat myself.
Meanwhile, back at the farm , you can have a look at the highlights from my playlist.

I have worked until past eleven in the night, dropped the flower pot, taken the wine, parked the car in tight spot, organized my mail, backed-up my now “late laptop”, gone to bed early in the morning, figured how to set my mail client and re-size and retouch pictures. I give you the new MacMe.
This coffee I am having is not giving me more guts for the day ahead. Not even more time. Actually it’s giving me less time. However I am lingering around the cup like there is no tomorrow.
