A workers life

Two weeks ago I started working for an Austrian hydro power supplier. It's an office job that I got though a friend of my brother Stephan. So I'm back in everyday life meaning that I sit in the office in front of two large screens and feed the computer with data. Sounds exciting I know, but in fact it's OK for the time being. I'll probably do this job only until the end of February and then start something different.
Besides my office activity I work during the nights, taking pictures from events and clubs. It's fun! Because I work 27 hours a day I realize more and more what the essential things in a workers life are and how I spend my "free" time. I miss sleeping... I just remember from the past that sleeping was a relaxing experience. I think I should try it some time again.

My dear friends party too much. I have to get myself a calender not to forget a celebration ;-) especially now that the semester is ending Vienna is not safe anymore.

Yesterday I got surprised a lot when I saw a "Cafe - Coffee Day" (the Indian cafe chain) in Vienna. I walked into the big premises and immediately bunched into and Austrian-Indian friend from McLeod Ganj (Himachal Pradesh, India). By the way Austria is the only country besides Pakistan where Coffee Day has a Cafe outside India (and they are about to open their 3rd store soon!!).
In the evening on a party at the 'University for Applied Arts' I met another Austrian whom I know from India (Ladakh). And I had a happy reunion with Nina, Nina & Verena with whom I spend a week in Pushkar.

Warm greets to all my beloved ones!!!
