I just can't believe it and yet, it is true! Another year has gone by and it has been the
first one I've spent entirely in the UK since my relocation here in March 2008.

If I had to summarize what happened in this year, I'd say nine month of agony over my inability
to find a new job after the company that employed me went bust by the end of 2008 (like countless
others over here in the UK and worldwide as a direct result of the international bankers fuck up)!

But then, finally, in September there was the chance and unexpectedly I got an invitation to
apply for a very, I mean verrrry special job! I did and voila, I got it. I still can hardly believe
it, but I am so endlessly grateful and happy and I know that while keeping this job I won't have
to worry about an interesting and fulfilled worklife and a more or less stable and secure personal
one as well.

So, this means that the New Year to come bears within the promise of more interesting learning and
tasks in my new occupation and overall a newly gained stability and security, which is obviously
what every single human is looking and hoping for (and by law should be granted as long as they
work hard enough for it).

Now all I can do is to hope that my friends and their families might have similarly positive
events in their lives and that the New Year to come might offer us all plenty of health, happiness
and great new things to do!

Cheers mates! HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!
