Dear Diary. It's time for me to think about vacation. Actually, I really need it - working 13 hours per day is a bit tiresome. I got an international passport, but I have never been abroad. I think it would be better to start in visa-free countries. Jeju Island seems to be a perfect choise because 1) I'm a biggest fan of Korea 2) I can speak Korean a little 3) Jeju Island is visa-free for Russians. Going to Turkey would be nice too. There are many beautiful historical places and I can say some words in Turkish too. But work on the construction site totally broke my mind. I'm afraid when getting to Turkey I will just run yelling "OMG, it's full of turks! And they don't wear helmets! Somebody do something!" It's unacceptable, good turkish people don't deserve it. Unfortunately, places I really want to see are closed to me for a while - Alaska needs 2 visa and Japan is just very expensive country to visit. I will die of greed attack when paying 1500$ for the 3-day tour! So I'll keep dreaming about views of Japan till 2014 or later.

document control abroad

As I'm responsible for document control in our office, I'm curious about how it's going overseas. Do you use EDMS and how are documents distributed within your company?

I would really love to chat with some of my colleagues abroad to share the experience. 

Dear Diary. My friend is going on maternity leave, so I have no one to hang out with at Friday night etc. We now have one permanently sober and very sad person, and it's me >_< Bottles pile up untouched, lonely and forgotten - rum, champaigne, chinese plum wine with green plums. So now on Fridays I usually watch serials (Breaking Bad, btw) drinking green tea with apple jam.

twitter, anyone? I just realised that I cannot create long texts in English (anyway, having same problem in native Russian), so tweeting in English can be a good solution. Not sure if it's allowed to share links on this site but https://twitter.com/agent_baka

Dear Diary. Today another one "Russia's top 10 richest"-guy visited our humble construction site. Again. There's has been too much of them lately, and I'm getting tired of it. In the morning we had rigorous search at the checkpoint. Then some hours were spent for a meeting and actually, that's not what i'm thinking of now. Dear diary, I've finished episode 9 of Game fo Thrones' 3rd season. And that's how my face looks like now.

Dear Diary. In the last 6 years I moved to a new city 3 times. Now I live so deep in Siberia, and I'm still trying to go somewhere else. I leave everything and everyone behind when moving. Is there any place that will make me want to stay forever? And why the idea of staying forever scares so much?

Dear Diary. Summer has come to my small town. It was +16 today and I was walking in a light cardigan. It felt so good not to wear heavy coats and jackets and all the other layers. This weekend will be hot, and I'm running circles in the room yelling "I have nothing to wear!" (being in front of a closet full of clothes, yes, that's classic). Wish I could live somewhere warm and sunny all year wearing only light summer dresses.

Dear Diary. Today I wrote greeting card for my colleague. I wrote it in Japanese, but it was very hard to recall 誕 for 誕生日 after a few years of break. Japanese use word "mojibake" for unreadable characters, and I should admit most of kanji are mojibake for me now. But it's ok, I believe that speaking Japanese is like riding a bicycle - once learned, it will never be forgotten.

Subj. If guys could stop thinking this is a dating site, that would be great.
