I am ordering shit(take out ofc). And suddenly old man ask "who needs a job"? And I was thinking like - I don't like so much, but i should, because i must socialize myself, because lately i can't even talk with salesclerk(you know, player and don't even one word) and killed few so cash situations, which could make my life different/less ronery. So I said - YES, but wait old man because i will must eat what i order. So he wait, and give few strange comments like - it's not polish cousine! So we exit this shit, and ride in tram across the whole city. I was listening. We walk to the place, and shit sucks, it was huge amount of bricks to transport and remove. He complain about me whole day. (BTW i will probably tommorrow have muscle fever) Ask that I have a wife(coolface), That i will learn how working looks in Poland, that I am foreigner because I talk little fuzzily(that is quite truth, but he had Hearing aid too, and he is sec. person that told me - after all when I talk in not my native, they don't have ANY problem when I talk, and at all when I am drunk i talk very clearly, better than most voice actors) Meanwhile his daughter(no, it wasn't pretty one, and she has above 40yo so - shit sucks) ask that i will need tea or sandwitches - i said that i don't want (i don't like eat while i am do something important) and old man tells her that i prefer vietnamese sandwiches(very coolface) It was very hard, and not so cash(but i can't tell that was waste of time, at all it was better than stay in home, and watch unfunny sitcoms) I finished, and was whole in dust.
