Beyond the CV

Dear Dairy,

Tomorrow (and this friday as well) I'll attend to the 'Effective interview' training during workday. I'm excited: it's very interesting to me, you know. I do technical interviews from time to time and it will be great to know how to do this best.

Whoa Dynamic Views

Hey, Diary!

Recently Blogger announced new super-hyper-mega-feature. Behold: Dynamic Views!!! As any true geek would certainly do, I had switched that feature on as soon as I discovered it!

It's dumb and unusable and very lame, but I like it!

And you know what? You, my dear diary, will be ok with it, I promise.

Reading coincidence

Dear diary.

I had been reading "1986" by George Orwell for few days. And guess what? Today's English lesson were about this novel!

This was a strangest coincidence I ever seen.

Review: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



My very second book in English.
Great book about real woman that changed our world. Simple yet very emotional.

Monday-like Wednesday

Hi Diary,

This day was really tough. High workload, bustle about windows warmth keeping and mobile plan tuning. Girls are staying with granny, so today I'll sleep alone with the tortoise scratching through the terrarium.

My daughter's third birthday

Dear Dairy,

On September 19th was Sasha's third birthday! It was monday, but I was on leave so I spent this day with Olga and Sasha.
Morning started with early greetings and presents: big lovely house (which is suitable for me and Sasha playing inside) and some sweets.

After that we were to visit ENT because of Sasha's otitus, but doctor suddenly took his sick leave. We returned home and slept till the time when other doctor would accept us. After that mess with doctors and clinics we was totally exhausted and cancelled big party, only few of our relatives came and finally candle was snuffed out!

This was a crazy day in different matters, but inspite of troubles it was filled with laughter and happiness!

Great opportunity

Notes on the go

I'm going to finish reading my first modern popular english book called 'The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks' by Rebecca Scott. My thoughts about this book are on the way.

Double Contractions!

New realm of the Dairy

Dear Dairy,

Today I want to introduce your new side to you. It really unfair to make you so odd with only stuff like 'afterseries overviews' - every personality is messed salad of different realms of it. I think you could guess what I prepared for you (you're my second identity, afterall)! So, guess! No? Yes! It's comic strips. Favourite ones, of cource.

PS: And don't be bore, they're fun.

The Office s4e9 "Dinner Party"

Unexpected friday overtime work was cancelled by Michael's call to the corporate shouting "We won't do it! We won't do it!" and everyone had sigh of relief except Pam and Jim - they've been caught in a word by Michael. Jim explained to us, that Michael asked him for dinner party at least 9 times and there always were some cases not to go untill that friday night.

There were Michael with Jan, Jim with Pam and Andy with Angela, but not Dwight (poor boy yeah).

As predictable result Michael quarrelled with Jan, Michael's neighbours called police and party was over. Michael fled with uninvited (hence joined the party) Dwight after police order.

Afterword

Hi again there,

I have an idea of another self-learning activity. I watch series of English tv shows ('The Office' US version is in progress now). So I might make some notes or reviews after every episode I watched? I think it's great idea itself, but I need some courage to do excercise regularly. What do you think about that?

Diary style blogging

Dear Dairy,

Don't you mind if this blog would be used in the diary form? I think it would be fun pretending that there is some "personal" diary around the Internets.

PS: My previous post was tagged as 'Classes' - tag for marking my English class homework.

Bald Joe

Meet the Joe, middle aged average guy that you probably had met, but never paid a bit of attention to him. Joe had a little problem. I said a little? Oh, not for him.
He was bald and all he was dreaming about was beautiful shiny gleaming streaming jet-black hair.
Once he walked in the park and hummed some popular song and, he even didn't realized why, gazed at some advertising poster. And that's it! Amazing mixture from tropical bird milk for rich and flossy hair had been found.
Joe bought one and hurried to make a test. Pharmacist said that Joe should scrutinize instruction notes, but Joe didn't care - the more hair, the better. And he emptied the bottle onto his head.
In the evening he dreamed and pretended his new haircuts and shampoos and lotions.
Next morning he felt... Yes it was hair! Needless to say that he was celebrating his victory over baldness.
He was doing his hair.
He was brushing his hair.
He was combing his hair.
That was a real victory, but wait. Joe realized that there was to much of it. Hair was growing and growing and Joe could not stop 'em. He was cutting them for a day, but had not succeed. After all in the evening, tired and desperate he fell asleep.
Next morning he felt... Yes there was no hair! Joe celebrated his victory of baldness.

Good news everyone

Today I realized that I might need english-writing skills improvement. And the best way, as it seems to me, is to have separate blog for it.

I've created that blog for posting some thoughts or twitter-like sentences. Nevertheless, you are wellcome here, and of cource you are wellcome to correct my runglish.
