Juchuu!!! Gewonnen!

[wiseheart]

Finally, we've won our first gold medal! I don't care if we won't get another one, I'm just ridiculously happy that we won't finish the Olympics without one. That would have been the first time in the history of modern Olympics (the ones on which we started anyway), and thus a serious blow for our national pride... such as it is in these days.

In other news, we survived the latest national holidays without any atrocities for a change. It was August 20, the 1008th anniversary of Hungary's existence as a country. Perhaps the hooligans were distracted by the Olympics, or by the particularly spectacular fireworks (Gandalf would have paled with envy). Apparently, the good old Ancient Roman tactic of panem et circenses is still working.

First step of domestic disasters has been managed. The supporting rooms like kitchen, etc., are now beautiful white and clean. Next week the wall-to-wall carpets will be washed in the living room and the bedrooms, which means that the whole packing will start again, this time in the opposite direction, so that the cupboards can be moved out of the way more easily. *le sigh*

Also, school starts next Monday again - assuming I still have my job. These things will always be revealed in the last possible moment. Wish me luck, folks, I'm gonna need it, big time.

Congratulations on the gold! I confess that I've (deliberately) not watched any of the Olympics and don't have any real idea of how my country has done.

Good Thoughts on the job front (and commiserations on the domestic upheaval).
Cheers :)

Congratulations on the gold medals - this morning, I saw Hungary got another one! It *had* to happen some day.

Wishing you all the luck you need for the school troubles, and then some more.

Congratulations on the gold medals! And on redecorating - lol. Can well understand you're not looking forward to cleaning carpets; there's a lot to be said for hardwood floors.

As to school starting again: don't worry ahead of time! (Sunday evening, 10pm, that's when it's time to panick.) Which classes will you be teaching this year?

Redecorating is a PITA while it is done but afterwards it is worth it. I hope the work situation will sort itself out.

Congrats to you on the medal front :) I will keep my fingers crossed for you on the job-front. *hugs*

Congrats on the medals -- I thought of you when I heard on the radio that your country had taken one.

As for the work beign done on the flat: Courage, Brave One!

And work? I, too, shall keep my fingers crossed for enough classes and decent students that you can keep your wits about you and at least survive the last couple years you need for your pension.

[Oh, and I found that other book... I hope to get to the post office tomorrow on the way to work, but will e-mail you to let you know when The Autumn Package is on its way!]

I saw part of the water polo final and thought of you :)

Best of luck for Monday. Work might seem better once you're back in it - at least, I hope so.
