I tried to explain what a slacker was yesterday to one of my
co-workers after she commented on how
prompt I am with completing my assignments. I told her it wasn’t true that
I am really a very lazy person, a
slacker, and that I was just good at pretending I was a good worker. She didn’t seem to buy the idea, which makes me wonder about my
job security.
I don’t want to lose my job, or more precisely, when my
contract ends I want it to be renewed. For 3 reasons:
1.
I’m making a whopping $1600 a month plus
free lunches and other
benefits (such as
free office supplies, free mail {even DHL
overnight to the sates}, free etc.)
2.
I want to continue to remain in
Europe until my girlfriend,
Kristi, finishes university
3.
I want to continue to remain in Europe because of the wonderful vacation opportunities (It’s a lot easier to fly to
Morroco or
Budapest or
London or see the beaches of
Greece,
Amalfi Coast or
Sardegnia from where I live and work in
Torino).
So I’ve had a little job aniety lately, mostly because I’m only being praised for my efforts. It seems much too easy, like … I don’t know but I’m thinking of how
Luke Skywalker must have felt in
ESB when
Yoda suprizes the shit out of him. I’m just waiting for the suprize …

In addition it started snowing yesterday and hasn't stopped yet. This is only the 3rd snow duing my stay here in
Torino and it's the largest one yet. I wned out this morning armed with my
Konika motorwinder and some black and white, but after 3 frames the camera froze. I rewond the film and luckilly I was only a block from my place, so I went back upstairs and grabbed the
Minolta with the 35-135 lense and headed back out with a roll of
100 ASA Kodachrome slide film. Shot off a few caps on the way to work...
