Lol I have been doing driving lessons for ages... I've spent like 5000$ or more so far. Is it expensive there too?Quote:
I've just finished my driving lessons - now i need to take mock theoretical exam and then the national exam... and pass it...and in Gdansk its the hardest one from all cities...
its 900-1000 pln(approx you can buy 1$ for 3,2 pln) for 30h of driving lessons + theory lessons. Each additional hour is 50pln. Practical exam costs 150pln and theory 100pln.
If you fail 3 exams you have to get 5 extra hours of driving.
P.s take into account that average earnings here are approx 2000 pln.
Also examinators in Gdansk are infamous for doing everything to make you fail the exam...
Yet don't you come from the land where police don't give a shit about speeding?Quote:

Haha. I remember I did a couple of minor mistakes during the driving examination but not enough or nothing that would have prevented it from being accepted. The one thing I specifically remember is that the examiner told me afterwards that I don't need to wait for every granny in the town to cross the street... (Although that certainly wasn't an actual offense as such.)Quote:

Well, here its like this - you see a slow moving car FAR away and you are on sub route(that is you have to wait to get some free space on main route) - you would be able to do this damned left turn 5 times but if you try to even move forward you will fail - because you "forced him" to slow down...
Also the current director of PORD(equivalent of DMV for the gdansk) is a bastard - when he started his work number of people passing fell down by 30-40%.
And in the examination routes(that is the one with highest probability of being on exam) are badly marked - sometimes you have to know that the crossed section on the street does not exist - it was erased few years ago from plans but for some weird it is still on the street, and sometimes its the opposite..
Our hot water for our coffee maker / hot water dispenser isn't working... and there was absolute panic. There was more panic about the lack of coffee this morning than there was when our phone system was messed up yesterday.
Talk about ridiculous. I was literally on 2 simultaneous phone calls and hadsomebody coming into my office in a panic because there's no coffee... I have nothing to do w\ the coffee so i don't know what they were hoping that I could do for them. srsly... ridiculous stuff.

I've been making backup images of our home computers for years, but today was the first time I've had to use one. (One of our home PC's HDD died - no signs, just won't be detected).
Restoring full functionality in 10mins feels really good :)
Backups are awesome, you can't put a price on peace of mind :D

This was an email I got that was sent to everybody in the company... it made me laugh because I had a mental image of soap suds all over the place.
My dad told me about how his colleague got fined $500 today:
1) Undercover police races you
2) You race at 150km/h
3) Police pulls in front of you
4) You tail the police
5) Police sounds siren
6) You pull over
7) Police fines you for speeding
8) Police fines you for tailing too closely (<2sec gap)
9) You curse
10) And you curse.
I didn't enjoy myself hearing this, but...
I smiled.
isn't that entrapment lol?
