Back from the dead

Or at least back from dead silence. Much have happened since the last post, but I think I will not try to cover everything. It would take too much time and there are thing I need to clear for myself before I am ready to discuss these topics.

I have been in UK a bit more than a month now. I have moved into my apartment, made here some decorating work and relocated from a little room to a bit bigger one. At least now I have furniture that I chose myself and to be honest - the room looks much better now. Here I have to thank my lovely Katariina, who is professional interior designer. While living by her side I have picked up some basics about interiors and in result my landlord was amazed, what I did with my room with the same budget he used for every other room in the house. Of course - it's not ready yet. I need to do some finishing with paints and I need to find some nice-looking chandelier and floor lamp, but still - I already have stuff I missed most - recliner and desk. When everything will be ready I hope to find a camera to take some photos of my very first decorated-fully-by-me-room.

Little things that make me happy.

And yes - we have a Internet in our house. Quite fast one. But the break in writing was caused by some more prosaic reasons. I am having some problems with my laptop, but hopefully everything will be fixed within next week.

Work... Started my career once again from the bottom. This time as a warehouse operative. Though I have many warehouse experiences from Estonia - I have worked in stock control, been account holder and even the manager - UK have given me chance to do the most basic warehouse work what I haven't done yet. Not that I like it - my goals are a bit different - but it seems, that I have proven myself a little already and I've been told that there is a chance to get away from the recruitment agency and even for some promotion. So - not bad.

Social life... As soon as it seemed to start, I got into the trouble, that still affects my ability to work. More precise description about my nightly adventures comes to my blog later. That is the thing I need to clear out for myself first.

Salary... Really? Sucks. When I went to the meeting in Estonia, the one where I first learned about opportunities here in Burnley, we were told much different stories. Those different stories were the main reasons why I am here at all. I came here to earn some money - not only for myself but even more for my family - but earning money with my current salary is too optimistic use of words. You may call it survival. Maybe the possible promotion will fix that issue, I do not not.

But if to put it down simply - I came here carried by lies I was told back in Estonia and adapting with reality here was hard at first.

Yes - until today UK has given me more negative than positive experiences, but in other way that really bad start seems hopeful. Everywhere else my starts have been successful and endings have sucked. Here the beginning sucks, so there is a good chance that ending goes well.

I like my logic.

See you soon!
