Do you have any school reunions? or old classmates meeting on your own?
We weren't great friends during high school. However there are a few of us who are very stubborn and keep organizing such things even 2 or 3 times/year. Generally I avoid going but I was at those organized in the high school( after 5,10,20, 30, 40......100 years from graduating). Just a month ago a guy from my class called up for an informal meeting at a terrace and for the first time I really wanted to go but I couldn't. Anyway, about half of my former classmates left the country and we'll probably celebrate the next reunion in Canada. :p
When you were in school did you ever run away from the classes? - don't know the english word, I mean if you left school without permission when you were supposed to stay at a class.
The English term is 'Playing Truant'. As I was at a boarding school, the boundary between cutting a class and running away from school was very narrow. You would be missed. Likewise, at weekends, as we all sat in the same places you would be missed at the next meal. So, in short I didn't.
They (whoever 'they' are) say "Your schooldays are the happiest days of your life". Do you agree?
The elementary school was great. Haven't problems with learning and the classmates were living in the neighbourhood. For a reason I don't get many of them came and played on my street and became part of our gang. Life on the street was wonderful and full of adventure - a la Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. Sometimes I wonder how free we were, my mother never bothered that I disappeared for hours from the street as we were going to parks, cinema, museums, even art galleries. Yes I was very very happy and enjoyed life and took advantage of living in the central part of the city. The nightmare started when I went to a certain high school, probably the worst choice of my life ( it wasn't mine, my family decided).
Did your school bring you tickets to theatre?
Yes. We went to a few Shakespeare plays. MacBeth, Midsummer Nights Dream and the Tempest. To name three.
Have you been to the theatre recently?
No and it's a shame because I live in the area where all theatres are placed. I don't know..... It's not only about me but about all the people here. In the past the cultural life was very intense, I was going to the theatre at least once/month and getting tickets was a tough business. Looks like these days I became a carpathian monkey like everybody. :s
(Btw, since you've mentioned shakesperian plays, I remember I was at King Lear performed by Royal Shakespeare Company and couldn't understand much and it was funny to see that Gloucester was a black guy with a rasta haircut. Fortunatelly I knew the play and knew what's going to happen)
What was your latest disappointment?
( warning: Messi's play at WC doesn't count. :p )
:p
I didn't get a job I appiled for. :( I have been doing a bit of "cash in hand" work, but as for a proper job I have been looking for the last month or so and I was turned down for one I applied for the other day.
Do you think you will ever change jobs?
I' m realy sorry for you Steve. I know what's it like. But don't worry, one day the sun wil rise again on your alley. :kiss:
To answer your Q, I don't think so. I think I've already said how you can get a job here and I don't want that. humiliation again. Things would have been easier if I were a young long legged blonde but I'm not. :p
Besides, my job despite burning me up is quite good . It assures a. decent wage ( for our standars of course ) and a good social position ( people generally are impressed by this institution, even scared that's why I avoid mentioning where I. work). If I weren't thar shy ( it doesn't matter I'm also stupid, my coworkers don't have such sensibilities) my job could offer me the opportunity to gain a lot of money -legally of course-but since I am and have a bad impression about myself I won't.
Would you accept a job that you dislike?
Your not. :eek::(;)Quote:

What was your first ever job?
See? If I ask again this would be your latest disappointment. :sQuote:

Who was the last person that disappointed you?
( apart from me and Messi of course )
