The Day of Hungry Workers


            Second to last day at work. Aldona came back; she was sick. DX Poor woman was whining all day about how the last thing she wanted to do was be back at work when she felt miserable. I asked her why she came back, and she told me to ask her lovely boss. … Well aren’t I fortunate for having an awesome understanding boss who told me not to come back until I felt better, then!
            Today was another day I was craving Pierogi; aka, I was hoping work would order some in. They did, huzzah! … Unfortunately, my cabbage and mushroom pierogi were… very… very… bland. My first thought was: Wow, I can make so much better. And same with the dough. Worse than last time too! Sad and bizarre. But at the time we ordered it, and by the time we received it, I was starving, so food was food, and it filled my stomach, so I said they were good. It was hilarious when they came, though, because we heard the office bell ring, so we all jumped up in hope. But no one answered it! So Aldona ran out, saying, “Those might be our pierogi!” She had to answer it, instead. Oh goodness, everyone was soooo excited to have them. All of us were disappointed by their quality, but at 16:00, you don’t care when you’re starving instead.
I then left, hopped on a tram, and at the first stop, had to get off, because, get this, something happened to the tram in front of us. As in, I’m pretty sure it ran off its tracks, because there were these huge work trucks, and the tram in front of us wasn’t on its tracks, and they were adjusting it and everything, trying to fix it. I can only say I really hope nobody got hurt. :( That was my first thought. Although, I was curious, so I stayed for a while to watch how they work to fix up a tram… Very slowly and carefully… That and I needed time to figure out how the heck I was getting home. Fortunately for me, I have indeed learned the basics of the tram system in Wrocław! Meaning, in order to get to the stop I wanted to continue from, I just had to hop on a tram on the street to the right, and voila. I got to Arkady and hopped on my normal tram to Hallera to get a bus and come home.
            That’s all for my day. Now I have to pack and clean things up in the apartment, as I’m moving out tomorrow. Huzzah. <_> Btw, black currant mentos are pretty good, just so ya know!
            My goal for tonight and tomorrow: Get rid of all of my food! Therefore, what did that mean tonight? Some scrambled eggs and pickles, yes, but for the one I had left (I had three, but one was stuck in the case, and the other looked weird), I realized I also had some sugar… Now some of you know where this is going. … I take that back. Only three of you probably know where this is going. So, I made some kogel mogel!!! Bwahahahah. Childhood memory. Oh, for your information, kogel mogel is literally egg yolk mixed with a lot of sugar so that the product has a light yellow, sometimes nearly white appearance. And yes, this is a Polish dessert. I’m telling you. We Poles are hardy, stubborn people. Oh, I am not ashamed, and yes, it was delicious. I think all of you guys should try it sometime! :D (And I am sure this is where many of you go EWWWWWW.)
            Note: That was all written yesterday.
            So yes, insane little me. I go out this morning. You can breathe fog, it's that chilly. I wear my long-sleeves at first, as everyone else. ... Then it's too warm, and I take them off for the rest of the morning. Meanwhile, I don't think I see a single other person wearing short sleeves. Guys. I belong in the cold. It's sooo refreshing! :D I lovelovelove it!
            And lol, I still have to finish packing today. I cleaned, and sort of packed last night, but now, when I come home from work, I'm going to be rushing to pack. Per usual!
