7 months back home and I got 6 extra kilogrammes. I am still rowing everyday half an hour (4.6 kms) but the good food is adding some extra weighs. I need to do something about it if I do not want a belly. Maybe I should eat more vegetables. The job market is too bad […]

I did not get the position. I am not too sad because it was really far away and it would take me 3-4 hours to commute everyday. Life goes on and I keep on applying. Nothing really new and interesting happened. The winter is cold and wet here. Sunlight is shorter during a day but […]

Lessons Learned!
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
1. Stay away from Biothech companies… their stocks are really volatile, meaning very risky. There are a lot of day-traders playing on their values. GERN is one of them. 2.

I’ve had the job offer but I declined it today. It was only for 13 hours. What is great with teaching is a lot of free time and vacations that are paid in France but 13 hours will not make it worth my time….keep on looking! I sold all my stocks and gathered my gains […]
