Whats on your mind?

It's a bit strange getting used to my new life of idleness. I'm sitting here at 1.30 AM on a Monday night/Tuesday morning with a glass of wine, editing today's pictures and having a nagging feeling I should be in bed. But no, I don't have to, I can sleep whenever I feel like it

Yes and No. It was Real Madrid vs. Athletico de Madrid.



Not exactly the same. The pub was divided. xD

[The Rose]

^Congratulations




But it would've been Madrid either way, right?

[Maya]

Real Madrid had won the Champions !!!

[The Rose]

OMG!!!! Hala Madrid!!!!

What?

[Maya]

OMG!!!! Hala Madrid!!!!

This is it: My last day at work over. I now join the rank of the lazy layabouts

^First I'll spend more time on it to get better, I haven't really spent nearly enough time with a camera in my hands and editing photos for the last couple of years. Things I knew how to, are now gone so I'll try to get those skills back. I might even take some courses, and after that I'll just see. If I can make a little money later that would be nice, but not a priority. I've saved up so I can support myself for quite a while. Mostly I'm just looking to have fun with it.

I forgot to answer...

I miss my classes, i loved them.

I'm sure you will have fun with it, it's so different of classical jobs. Once you spend some time with your camera, I'm sure "those things gone" will come back and if you take some courses you'll learn new things. 5 days from today!!!!

^I love seeing your pictures though! You always make me want to go out and take more photos (even though I am only using my camera phone)!!! I wish I had the time and energy to do as you do! To go on photography weekends! I am incredibly jealous!

9 working days now!!!! WOW

And what about your future plans with photography?

[The Rose]

^May 27th, which means 9½ work-days left. Cannot wait for this to be over and I can say bye bye

[Maya]

Weird day at work today. I now have 500 colleagues less, and I'll stop at the end of May (voluntarily)

When is your last day?

^I guess the way they cope with it differs in each country. Up until april 2015 downloading wasn't even illegal here, as long as you didn't gave the material to somebody else and used it as a "home copy" for yourself. But things have changed, and I guess for the best in some ways. It has been fun, but in the end people have to earn money form their music and movies. Although with me it worked otherwise. These last years I bought more albums because through downloading etc. I got to try more music. If I wasn't able to listen to some songs first I wouldn't've risked buying some of my latest records.

^Pirated software is very common here, even though it's illegal. I've never heard of anyone getting fined because of pirated software. In fact, there are many large stores openly selling pirated books and software, which have no trouble with the law (through some generous donations to the police I'd asume lol) It's so common that it's considered pretty weird to actually buy Windows or Office. They either come with your PC, or you pay someone 10-20 liras (3.5 to 7 USD) and get them installed. A Turkish person is more likely to pirate Windows than pirate a video game (Thanks GabeN).
