Last day of my old job was Friday. Starting my new job and career Monday. Excited and nervous at the same time.

avoid the tourist traps like U Fleku and Cafe Slavia, and any other restaurace that charges western prices. there's a nice little place up behind the Castle called a divadlo pokracuje that does great goulash

in terms of stuff to look at and go 'ooh', these are all touristy but still worth seeing:

* the Castle (and Hradcany more generally), though bits that were free to look at under the communists, like Golden Lane, are now turnstiled and ticketed
* Old Town Square and the famous astrological clock; the Old Town generally
* Mala Strana and Petrin Hill. fuck the (overpriced) cable car; just walk up
* Vysehrad; old castle and gardens
* Karluv Most (Charles Bridge), if you must, but it's heaving with tourists all summer long

my own favourite spot is between the Castle and Petrin Hill, below the monastery. long flight of steps from Mala Strana to the top

i could go on...
Awesome. Ill copy/pasta this into my phone. :) Thanks

Yeah theres some possibility that I'll end up somewhere UK side for a while first so we'll see. Visa stuff can be weird for me potentially.

Just interested to ask how long were you employed in that last job?

My employment periods were approximately 2, 5, 10, 17 and 5 years, then luckily retired early :D Lucky too, I was never unemployed a day. I think that's rare.

Enjoy the new job and don't forget to step on those toes lightly. Be nice to those people you pass on the way up the ladder as you will no doubt pass them on the way down.

I've been in the electrical side of construction since I graduated from high school. I worked for several different companies, the longest 14 years. Basically I've spent 15 years in the field and 15 years in management. Now I'm going to work on the design side of things for an engineering firm. This transition will be similar to the one I made 15 years ago when I went into management. Taking the information and experience I have and applying it in a different way. Even though I'm confident in my experience, I'm still a bit nervous about doing a job I've never done before. Worst case scenario, I go back to where I came from. Which isn't so bad. But I really do think things will be just fine.

Not knowing what you're talking about gives little credibility to what you've said. So there is that.

How’s the house going, DB?

Ours is on hold. Trouble with the builder we had picked. The search is back on...

That’s shit news! Hope it’s sorted soon.

If anything our completion date will be bought forward. The build is complete, flooring in and the first wave of snagging has just been finished. Next is the two gardens and our private road.

Had to google that one. Not a term I’m familiar with. Sounds like you didn’t find much though. And you’re bout done! Nice!

Speaking of gardens, we were looking at the Hartley Botanic greenhouses. I requested a catalog so I could price them. Fuck they’re high! But beautiful...

Our house plans weren’t perfect, so we backed off the build. Told the wife there’s no rush. We’ve got a roof over our head, so let’s make sure everything is perfect before going forward. And somehow the house has went to 3600 sq f (including basement). It’s just the two of us, not sure we need all that room...

LOL... How did I know someone would do that?

A quick glass door search says I make more than the high end salary of an Electrical Engineer in my area (BTW, I'm not an engineer). Primarily because I came highly recommended by the President and one of the firm's long time principles. That recommendation is also why I was able to negotiate for more vacation time than anyone (even the principles) in the company and the only sign-on bonus in the firm's 25+ year history (a substantial one at that).

But you tell yourself whatever you need to feel good, dish jockey. :cool:

We were going in an Integra Type R, but my mate so it to buy a CRX :olo:

Here is a video of the Teg going around last October (I couldn't make that trip due to going to Singapore).

This is the Rex we will be using: https://www.6two1.com/6TWO1-Blog/total- ... da-crx-sir

So it should be good fun; light, quick, FWD which will be important for me, given it's my first outing at the ring.
