"The nuns were quiet. I'd rather be bored

and hang out their laundry in sight of the Lord,

than wrestle with dragons to get to my sink

while the cats chase the cucumbers, slickity-slink"



"They go slippity-slosh,"

said Hieronymus Bosch
(from the book I mentioned before; I wonder what message do the kids get from these words? :gigi: )



It looks like I often spell the words as I hear them... :( Luckily, it looks like :) some adrenaline released during my assignments doesn't slow down my brain but accelerates its work.

The real question about my work is that on lots of assignments I risk more than I earn. That's even not the money-and-risk "ratio", but the amount of work compared to the "risks per minute". I can't judge what is easier (and I think none is easier) psychologically: being exposed to the risks every two or three days, or being in stressful situations once a month. That's not about psychology. I get valuable experience, but I get it slower than the people I work for. Then, policemen, doctors, social workers are full- or part-time employed, they have more social guarantees either written on paper or existing in the people's minds. The society (at least the local) reserves some privacy to them.

However, I like interpreting more than translation. (According to the text, the housekeeper finally goes back to Bosch. :) ) I can afford myself doing that.

She: Do you remember what you said in the spring?

I: And what I said in the spring? I just said that I could not judge. That time I could not predict my income. I was happy I got a job. I still like interpreting, but having only this job I would not be able to support my family without my husband's salary.

She: But if you were alone, what would you do?


What would I do? I think, I'd buy a dildo. Bu da, ye bu xiao. A medium one and not too fancy, I think.

I: I'd go back to Kiev. Even the same income as here will let me survive on my own, or perhaps I can get more work, and I'll be with my father - it is easier when you are with your family.

I think, I'd buy a dildo here (the local shops propose more models) and then go to Kiev. However I prefer to solve the problems only when they really emerge and I don't ask others witty questions like "if you got crabs/developed a tumor, what would you do?" I didn't want to come here, but I don't regret my decision to go with Baobeir. Just look, guys, at the flyer of trainings on efficient management Baobeir got here once:

Participants willy apply the skills learned throughout the workshop, climaxing with a problem-solving team situation which will assess the synergy of team work. Would you let your partners com climax with a problem-solving team situation?!
