It's a holiday in Avai. Pali reports that the director is in Herceg Novi on some feast about ISO9k, and frankly the pretext is irrelevant, which the whole team agrees with. Add to it the fact that Cica appeared in special outfit (i.e. a skirt)... Things went a lot easier that day, he said.
On 12th, I wrote to Brlja
Here we are, doing things... Today at five we have an line shot, aka deadline, for Cincili, they wanna drop us if evals is not fixed, and evals is into 3lm*, I kept improving the answer entry form, counting on the rest being more or less okay, and when I got there it's not that half of it is not working, it's that half of it never existed.
Last week it was none special, layer of clouds layer of drizzle, sheer joy. One rain was so small as if they sprayed it through a sieve :). On sunday I laid the beer on the table, bricquets in the barbecue, watched some 5-6 squirrels making a wedding around the trees, a rabbit passed by, then blue birds, red birds... life, fuckit :).
The mosquitos aren't notified yet. Presently it resembles a heatwave, because sun hits it all in 0x0000010**, but the breeze is nice fresh and it soothes. The double fan we hung in the window is switching on and off, which means that it's exactly around 76F aka 24,44468252°, but that's in the forest. To park, I found a neat place, gets in shade around noon and the trees are 20+m high, so I turn the AC on only if I fall into a queue, and since I have only three lights to home, I rarely fall (into a queue, I mean).

No rain, third month in a row. Everything is healthily yellow, wheat bore as in the times of Nemanjić dynasty, i.e. 30-50% of the regular amount but then it's ready to harvest 20-30 days earlier, corn is completely wicked in etc. We're suffocating in heat, bathe at 23:00 when the water pressure uprises. We console ourselves that the gents in novogradnja have to wait until 2:00, and what do they want, washing at home, they should go to Peskara. Price of heating gas is announced to be 6 dinars now, exit tax is now double uprisen, and why should we go abroad when we have Peskara. Man, of course, forgets all of it upon hearing that production growth is 80%, that Sloba was nominated for a people's hero of China, which isn't too bad, most of those are already deceased.As for the ISO watershed, now the history of Avai will be the part before and the part after. As in... there was a snafu in Jugokomedija, something died, Laza wasn't here, so we send Joška and Joja, and they not only didn't know what was wrong, but also where, so they called a guy from Novi, who then came and discovered both hardware and software were fine, it's a problem with Beotel, aka ISP. The guy just made an invoice and went away. Now with ISO everything will be different.
I barely wait to see his face when Pali asks for an unpaid leave to hop to 'merka. Just so that you know that, if he gives him trouble, you may be consulted as a coaddict of Avai if he was to be threatened with a layoff and so. And Pali will be engaged on a DOS app which you were like supposed to do in Pasquale, so you invited him because... well, so... Frankly, I'm having enough of this shit. Can barely wait to get rid of him.
