So, you think you have the worst job ever?

Read this:

This weeks worst job

You may think that your job is bad, but pity me for I am a Worm Taster. I'm sure you know what a Wine Taster does - he checks the quality of wines before it is bottled. You probably know that a Cheese Taster checks how good cheeses are before they are sent to the supermarket. But what about a Worm Taster? Well there are a number of Worm Breeders around the UK - they sell worms to the fishing tackle shops who then sell them to people who go fishing. Worms come in a number of breeds - some are more attractive to fish than others breeders are always searching for the perfect worm - one that the fish can't resist. That's where I come in - I spend each and every day sniffing, feeling and, of course, eating raw worms in an effort to find those new breeds that the fish will like. It's a bit of a tasteless job pardon the pun - but being confined to a wheelchair it's the only one I can get near to where I live. On top of that the pay is minimum wages. The only perk I get is an abundance of free worms so my family eat worm pie twice a week. Of course they don't know what they are eating, I tell them that it's mince pie.

Now, whenever I'll feel down and bitten up by my job - i'm going to read this!

Bleh!

Photos from my trip to Switzerland

I was just thinking...

So I got back from my trip to Switzerland and Italy.
I've made almost 600 photos there.

But what I was going to say (write) here is that I've learned pretty interesting stuff while I was traveling through there.

First and the most important thing - never call Italians "terrones" (dirty hicks). At least not before you're certain there not from south of the country. It turns out those from the south get very angry about that. They are very serious about themselves, I guess. They might kill you for that. So don't unless you like danger.
Next - the man at the Milan Central Train Station International Information Office speaks only Italian (no english, no german, no french, no spanish and don't even bother to try polish language on him, my friends!).


Also I've learned that Switzerland is a very beautifull/clean/hygenic country.
Everything there is carefully folded. And packed in airtight bags (even the vegetables).
Don't even try to cross the street in unallowable place (huge french-speaking policeman will give you a ticket!!).
Overall Swiss people are very polite, friendly and hygenic. Unfortunatelly they don't get my sense of humour (too bad, we could have a great time).

So do I advise you to go there?? YES!!
Those countries are beautifull, colorfull, they have great food and are very tourist-friendly.
So don't belive in the words of old hag (well, maybe belive in the "terrone") - just go there and enjoy!!!!

Now for the best part -some of the photos I've made in Switzerland:)

I hope you liked it :)

P.S. I almost forgot! About the "terrones" - I didn't called anybody that, i just witnessed it. Scary...

What is that?

It's a bobble-head Bobby!!

3....2....1!!!

I'm AFRAID that if this fascination for Bones won't stop, I'll have to visit dr Sweets for a treatment.

Bernie Mac

That is so sad!

Bernie Mac passed away. That dude was incredible. I loved his comedy.

He did a great job in "Ocean's 11". and in the "Bad Santa"?? Hilarious.

such a loss!

May he rest in peace!

Thx

I'd like to thank all of you who leave me comments.

while my busy schedule does not always allow me to answer them - I do read them. I also read your blogs, whenever I got time for that :)

I hope i'll find some more time for that, though.

Hugs!

A little bit of something / my passion (photography, that is!)

So I decided to share with you my passion.

I think the most wonderfull thing in a photograph is that it shows the World as a beautifull and good place. We are constantly amazed by the beauty of simple things we see on photos. Things that are just left unnoticed as we pass them by and rush to live our busy lives...

This is what I do in my spare time:
