I had a quite interesting day at the company today. Pleasant one, though. I have been doing my actual job for a few weeks now and until now I used to think about it only as a way of earning some money. Well, it is connected with my profession and it sure is well paid, but still I haven’t got much of satisfaction from it and I used to leave the office with a great relief and not feeling like coming back the next day or a few days later (it’s a part-time job, after all I still study). But today for the first time I’ve had a really great time at work.
It turned out that one of my supervisors is a historian. Well, my own profession is far from history, but let’s say that my field of studies is somehow connected with this most beautiful of all domains of knowledge. In addition, it also turned out that my supervisor was once very interested in this field of history, which has much in common with my own passions. And what’s so exciting about it all?
Well, we had a very interesting and pleasant conversation, we shared some knowledge, experience and discoveries with each other etc. We found a humane soulmate in each other, which is rather surprising in a company of strictly technical profile.
And the day was not so nice and pleasant because of the fact that of course we weren’t doing anything but talking for a couple of hours (yeah, loafing around together with the company’s manager - that’s not something you can feel bad about ;] ). Especially that most of the time I don’t have much to do there and I’m simply bored, so I have plenty of time to focus on doing nothing. Today I simply felt that going to work and spending time with my workmates can be something you just do for pleasure. A few words here, a few there, a short conversation about nothing at all - and suddenly it’s OK.
Besides, my boss said a few important things to me. Well, I’m this kind of a guy who does things either with full commitment or without any. This job was no exception. Already at home I was still thinking about it, still trying to do something more etc. So I was permanently tired and rather disheartened. Of course I knew that I should take it easy and be happy at least because of the amount of money I earn. But somehow I was unable to change my attitude and my way of thinking. But this guy today said it in some particular way, I suddenly realized how easy yet important it is. Well then, from now on I’m taking it easy. From now on my work is not the only thing in my life.
Moral by homikus: Sometimes it’s good to pay some attention to what older and smarter are saying!

First thing You, my Dear Visitor, should know is that this is not the place to practise an emotional exhibitionism of a permanently unhappy and harmed by life gay guy. Nay! Quite the contrary, I live in a perfect harmony with my rather not bad world. Well, what was and is the purpose of launching and writing this blog? Now two things. Firstly - I'd like, at least to some extent, to make this society, yet not one of the best - Polish society, realize that a gay is quite the same human as anyone else. He loves, feels, is happy, is sad, rejoices, learns, studies, votes, has political views, enjoys himself, has friends, works etc. etc. Secondly - I'd like to show that a gay can be happy with himself, his life and his world. Let this blog be my own little contribution to making this world a better place to be in...
