Description Recently, after spending many long hours in the park on observing people and waiting for the inspiration, I came to the conclusion that although the birds of the crow family are one of the wisest of its kind and look very noble, however it's the small and timid sparrow that occupies the first place in my heart~ ♥

It might seem a little out of blue right now, I have been meaning to ask you earlier (but completely I forgot to do so) if you're feeling a little better, because last time you wrote time that you had a problems at work...or something like that.

I don't even remember when I told you that, but anyways, it's very kind of you to ask!
If I remember right lol I had a tough day, but it wasn't due to a personal problem but rather on difficult situations. People are going crazy noodays and when it comes to a land property they can be out of order, causing trouble and at least a hard headache to anyone trying to explain things they don't understand lol It passed and I've already forgot about it ^-^ Working is hard on our times, isn't it? I don't know about your country, but Greece is having a hard time. When economy goes bad, everything goes bad as it couses a chain reaction

Yes, it's very kind indeed to bother someone at the late hours.
I know how the work at the Land Registry looks like - my brother served his apprenticeship there(wait...what?) and wasn't too happy about that (especially in Mondays when all the petitioners where coming). No, work never is easy (especially in the Ministry of Public Administration and Home Affairs, but I can't talk about it because it's a state secret), but it's not like we can just sit around do nothing - the job must be done...no matter if it's tough or it's fun.

Oh yeah, if I remember you have a 140% debt in relation to GDP. That must be tough. I've heard there was some issues about withdrawing from the Euro and going back to using the Drachma. But other EU members should not allow Greece to fall. Such a scenario would affect both the stability of the currency and public finances of EU countries. Greece bankruptcy would introduce a significant concern among investors in the Euro area. Withdrawal of assets would cause the lower financial liquidity of other countries.
Hang in there and be strong. Even if the chances of a quick recovery are very low, mainly due to lack of market opening and the concern of the Greek financial markets, the economic situation should improve.

As for Poland your situation will probably hit us through the foreign exchange market. We might have a lot of little problems, but it's not that extremely bad (in comparison to Greece or Portugal).
There's quite peaceful here - even our trade unionists are quiet (or at least I can only guess, because I don't work for them anymore). We have more problems with our politicians and unhappiness of our citizens.

I've just woke up, so my brain isn't functioning fully yet, sorry.

I'm quite surprized you know so much both for land registry and for our debt and situation.
Yes, job is hard, but I don't complain about it. I feel very lucky I have a job and in fact a good one. I don't blame your brother for not liking it though
I guess in the Ministry, it would be very tough. All I complain is about the headache, it causes me sometimes lol Because it's me then that feel non functioning XD

Well, in general, you know all the important parts of our problem and I'm happy you don't wanna kick us out lol No matter if we deserve it or not, we have to try to keep standing and not collapse. It would surely affect all EU (you seem to understand well the link on all economies), but it would be nothing in comparison to what we would have to face. (some have a different opinion even about that, but noone knows for sure). Quick recovery is out of the table, and even improvement of the economic situation s questioned, as in our try to stabilize, economy and development still getting worse. Some positive things happen too, but the results need time and time is against us. We're in a critical condition and uncertainty and the fear that comes with it is a bad influence on all people. Anyways, I guess we can only try and hope.

I'm happy you are in a much better situation. Lol problems with politicians and unhappiness of citizens seems just ordinary (that sounds bad for both of our nations XD), but I really wish you never to come in our place, because you can't even imagine how people change to worse, when they are desperate and with not hope, when they loose their jobs, when they can hardly made their living,... (let's not continue this or I'll get depressed XD)
As I said before, we can only try and hope.

PS: You call that answer non fully functioning? @_@ It is very accurate in my eyes
PS2: Sorry for the long answer XD

I might seem like a quite detached from the reality type of person, but I still have a little grasp in it. And I'm not as ignorant and simply minded as some might think lol. I have a great knowledge of wide variety of topics and great need for an intellectual stimulation and challenges.

I didn't want to make you worry and think again about what's going on around you - I should have distracted you from it for at least a moment, but I decided to pry. I'm sorry, that was very insensitive of me. I'm not good at making people feel better (on-line), but I wish I could (even if I doubt you would need that).

Don't apologize for anything. I'm really happy you bothered to reply.

Lol, you have quite a grasp in these ones XD I wasn't sure if anyone outside our problem was able to fully understand it. People tend to don't bother with themes they do not touch them. Well, that is UNTIL they do not touch them XD Now Portugal has also problems and maybe Spain too. It's going huge and I can only hope EU will stand strong.
Don't worry about making me worry, because you don't. It's something I already knew and people and mass information media don't let me a moment without noticing it! lol If fact that you seem to care about it, it gives me some comfort. And no matter how strong I am at facing difficult situations, having a nice conversation can really make me feel better. Well, I don't doubt in real life you can be much better in expresing yourself, but that would be true only if you're not shy

Ok, I don't really get what you mean in your last sentence...oh, wait! You wouldn't have to worry about anything because you claim to be an elf and for me all short men are asexual (as I am quite short person myself)~

If nice conversation could help you, is there something you want discuss? Even if not right now, then you should now that yo can write to me any time you want (but I sometimes have to sleep and study and work on my love-life personal life, so I might not reply right away).

Well, I mean that if someone is shy, he experiences some difficulties in expression that maybe online (due to the fact that there's no visible contact and maybe there's a feeling of security) can be left behind. Well, maybe that was a try of self-sarcasm. Now, it's me who can't get what it has to do with elves being short and stuff. lol

And thanks, I won't hesitate to discuss something with you once I have something in mind.

Yeah, I suspected that the "shy" part was more about you.
It means that I'm really really mean and try to emasculate you for my own sake.

Great. That will probably take you some time, but I can wait.

Silinde-Ar-Feiniel In reply to Madalinka [2011-05-08 17:49:44 +0000 UTC]

@_@ That emasculation thing doesn't sound good, I'd better hide! lol
Patience is a virtue XD So have a good evening for now!

Wow, beautiful, great job! The subdued earth tones work well for this piece, and the light-colored, soft-looking background doesn't distract from the main focus.
