St. Barbara's day

Long Live the MINERS!!!!!

To all the miners. I guess I could call myself one but this would be a exaggeration...A really big one :) So it's to all the people that really worked their assess of in Iran (now I'd be in this group :) ). Shame not everyone appreciates that....

Górniczy stan, heoj, niech nam żyje! Niech żyje nam górniczy stan!
Bo choć przed nami światło dzienne kryje, toć dla Ojczyzny trud ten jest nam dan.
Boć synowi podziemnych czarnych światów każdy chętnie poda swą dłoń.
Niech żyje nam, niech żyje nam górniczy stan! Niech żyje nam górniczy stan!

Czy nie słyszysz dzwonka z naszej wieży i kilofa, który wzywa nas?
Hej, do szybu niech z nas każdy bieży! „Szczęść nam Boże!” zaśpiewajmy wraz!
Boć synowi podziemnych czarnych światów każdy chętnie poda swą dłoń.
Niech żyje nam, niech żyje nam górniczy stan! Niech żyje nam górniczy stan!

Gdy nareszcze góry się zachwieją i wnijdziem, bracia, do światłości bram,
staniem wszyscy z tą błogą nadzieją, że złota miłość więzi serca nam.
Boć synowi podziemnych czarnych światów każdy chętnie poda swą dłoń.
Niech żyje nam, niech żyje nam górniczy stan! Niech żyje nam górniczy stan!

Da Godfather....

So I became a godfather. Don Ufok...Capo di tutti capi... :)
The pictures below show my goddaughter. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, BARCA (with an 's')!!!
She's my friend's 7-week-old cane corso.

Sweet, intelligent, beautiful (ok, i've found a dog, how about a girlfriend? :) ).
You can play with me now, but i'll be 45kg heavy someday!

It wasn't me....

Have you seen my food???
Apart from that not much has changed. I am still sending CVs and waiting for some reply. Come on you people, I would be a great asset to any company.... :)

Gooooodbyee Iran!!

Welcome Poland!

First of all i'd like to say hi to my new fans in Katowice :) The saying "No matter what they say about you, as long as they speak about you" is very up to date :)

My contract ended yesterday. I've been in Poland since Friday.
The trip itself was ok. 12 hours on the bus to tehran reminded of school trips :) then a short wait at the airport, flight to frankfurt (scotch & soda bitte), then a wait at the frankfurt airport (tequilla,arriba arriba!!! - though at 8 Euro a shot it was not the best deal in our lives), then a flight to Katowice (Poland welcomes with a sandwich) and eventually a 5 hour train trip to Poznan (had to stand in the corridor until Wroclaw!!). So after merely 40 hours I was home. Woohoo. And...
I have this strange feeling. It's like I miss Iran a bit (oh my god, call a doctor, he went bananas!!). I guess after 6 months of living in one place you get used to it. To the people, the work, the place itself, the jackals performing concertos every night.
But this is Poland. I am happy to be here. But then again. I am in a bit of a standstill (just like the belts underground :) ). Don't really know what to do. I am waiting for some things to be finalized and then I'll start changing my life :) Or at least I'll try and organise it. We'll see. Meanwhile, i am cherrishing Poland, the winter (ok, I am not, It is way to cold), polish people. Waiting for christmas, new year's and then...a new something :)
Take care all of you.
For those who managed to spend some time in Iran with me and for those reading that pile of bollocks - a big thanks.
Photos to be added soon.
Take care...

Hajer przodowy jako sie widzi....

Hi there you surface rats :)

Now this picture is for all of those doubting that I work in a mine. I do :) and i took this photo last friday, after I spent a shift underground. Oh, by the way. I did not get dirty somewhere on the surface. I honestly worked underground. With two of the mechanics. Nothing complicated of course, but still :) I like this job :)

'sup bro'? The hands that heal..

All is cool. Work is crazy. I'll be in Poland soon. So all of you out therem get ready for the boy is going to be BACK IN TOWN!!!And we'll rock it! :)

take care!!!

Luv ya...

Employee of the month...

Ah fock it. Why be modest. Employee of the year, the best employee ever :)

This is what I got from the Mine Construction Manager today. He is leaving on holiday and coming back on the 25th. On the 25th I will probably in Poland so he gave it today.

Is it really about me? :)
Though he made a slight mistake writing that I've been in Iran since March. Hm.. Maybe it was about someone else? :)

Take care you all.Soon I'll post a photo reportage :) from an Iranian wedding I went to a week ago.

P.S.
Yesterday we were all wondering if Mama Kaczynska had spanked Lech for signing Jarek's resignation :)

Ch,Ch,Ch,Changes...

Salam aleykom. Haste naboshid. Two news today. You choose which is bad and which is good :)

1st)So I had my hair cut. I have to explain myself. My friend was the hairdresser. And, well...One can see he is not a pro... :)
This is the shortest hair I have ever had,i think...And it was a challenge. To have short hair with the head being so big (though full of brains) :) Of course it has all been recorded for the sake of humanity (don't do this at home). Anyway, it's almost a week since I did it and they are starting to grow back.
Oh, by the way. I am really getting bold :) But than again, bold men are supposedly great lovers :p
So now. Ladies and gentlemen. Get ready for the de-hairing of Lukasz Wlodarczyk. Hope the Samson syndrone does not get me :)

I really had a tough day at work. Really!


It's the flash of the camera. Had to close my eyes. By the way. Wouldn't I make a great punk?

Prisoner no. 45632Lw. Sentence-6 months in Iran. :)
See I am blushing. New haircut, big ears, had to blush :) And the stain on me t-shirt is not a stain. It's water...

So this is how I look now. I guess now I can be mourning. The second news is that I am staying in Iran till the 25th of November. The mine, the maingate to be more exact, was flooded on Monday. Really flooded. I think the geologist missed a lake when taking measurements. and whoops. there it was.loads of water coming from the sdidewall. all the motors flooded, electricians trying to save sensitive equipment. Face Rescue Operation is on. a great example of one of Murphy's laws. "if anything can get worse, it is sure to fuck up".and it did :) but it could have been worse. the face could've been totally fucked.but it isn't.anyway.two additional weeks is not that bad. i'll manage.



One of the mottos. Though the real version should be:"Food+rest=end of shift"



The mosque in Tabas.









Same mosque.Good, old me. Trying to spoil every picture. :)



Inside the mosque. A tomb of Imam Kazeem. We shouldn't be taking pictures in there.



My artistic soul made me take that picture :)


Enough :) khoda hafez. peace out.

I'm leaving on a jet plane....

....don't want to come back here again....

So, I have a plane ticket to Poland booked for the 11th of November.
What can I say. I am happy. I want to go back. Spend some time in Poland.
This country is depressing. Of course one can get used to everything. Come on, in some countries people it french fries with mayo.. :) but it is too much. We're in a sort of a cage or a fish tank. But then again, if a fish is in a nice room then it is happier. And here?It's totally different.
Everything forbidden, small town, same people all the time...
This job has taught me a lot. A great experience that I hope will flourish in the future. Maybe...
On the 12th I am supposed to be in Poland. To be honest I anticipate that something will still change but for the time being that's the end date. I started counting days. It's not good, because time goes by slower when you do that. But what can you do :) I am happy I'm going back.
These two months after my holiday really passed quickly. Really, really quickly. Hope the two weeks left will pass as quickly...
People are going crazy. Loads of different documents to translate, quality control sheets, method statements. And guess who has to translate them :)
And as always, when something ends and there's lots to do people have a tendency to loose their temper. But I am calm as never :) Ok, I'm not... :)
Today is a big day. I am going to have my hair cut. I guess i'll look like a total dumbo :) Never had hair so short. I'll try and post some photos of the whole procedure :)
Take care.See you soon.

P.S.
Happy birthday Aga and an overdue happy birthday to Ruda. You're both fantastic. Keep it that way...
