Andy's Mind

On the New Year’s Eve I moved to Cracow. When everybody partied I was on the road in a tiny Nissan Micra (a company pool car I took for this occasion) using a short six hours window between snowstorms to haul my stuff to my newly rented apartment. On the first day of new year 2006, after sleeping off that journey I got out to get some lunch and after walking out from my new home it took me just 10 minutes to get to the Main Square, bustling with life, in the heart of historic old Cracow. I looked around at all the centuries old buildings, at multinational crowd of tourists filling the streets and I was sure it’s worth it. (more…)

It has been a long day, but in a few moments I would finally get some sleep. Some things did clear up this evening – though not entirely the way I wanted them to it is nevertheless better to know where I stand. I just hope it didn’t show it made me a bit hm… melancholic – let’s put it that way.

With any luck this whole holiday period would be over soon and I would get back to my normal witty, sarcastic, persuasive and organized self.

The Christmas at my parent’s home is over very quickly. This time was no different. But one SMS made a lot of difference. Thanks.

I’ve just arrived in Zurich, in heavy snow. I never landed in such snowy conditions so it was quite interesting. As soon as the engines stopped everything went as in a Swiss watch – within ten minutes I was in the terminal building and then, having passed passport control, I have found to my amazement that my suitcase was already waiting for me on the stopped conveyer belt in the luggage claim area.

Having a one hour wait for my colleagues before me I headed to Starbucks where I relaxed enjoying Chai Latte tea and doing my e-mail. I soon found out that apart from the paid hotspot there is free access to the airpot web service where I could track the flights I waited for. This proved to be quite handy as my colleagues’ planes are late.
