Life in Dublin

Sometimes it is very difficult to make a decision, to choose whether or not to stay on familiar ground, where six months I’ve investing all my effort, energy and knowledge. Or to head out to the unknown, yet again, because it looks attractive. What would you choose? As I wrote in a previous blog, I had an interesting job offer lying on the table. And so they called me and we agreed on an interview date....  Read More at  Accept a new job offer or stay in my current job?! I decided to…  © Life in Dublin

Ahh, new job, it’s so wonderful. I did the one week notice period, fortunately for me my former boss had no desire to see me appear all seven days so I spent the last three days resting at home. In fact, the day of the IFTA awards was the day I actually quit. Of course I can only freely write about that now, as my ex boss and some ex colleagues read my blogs. If you consider using Google translate actual reading. I’m impressed with their hunger for reading....  Read More at  Did I accept a new job!? I’d be crazy to reject it!...  © Life in Dublin

In a previous post I said that I would like to visit the Irish equivalent of the Oscars (the IFTAs) with my loved friend Zlata Filipovic. Well, the wish became a reality thanks to lovely Zlata. I didn’t attend the ceremony, but I was there to witness the glamor: champagne, tuxedos, gala dresses and the red carpet… The movie which Zlata produced was nominated in the category of best director.

When we visited there were about twenty people in their thirties having fun. A middle-aged bald-headed guy approached me to start a conversation asking “Are you alone here?“....  Read More at  life-in-dublin.com/the-most-famous-dubliners-u2/  © Life in Dublin

At work only two colleagues wished me happy birthday, even though they knew about it (because I told them), a simple message on Facebook would have been a nice gesture. They’re all still dear to me but sometimes the coldness of some people can still surprise me. I hope that after a while they will conclude that I am not threat to them. If they want constantly to find flaws in me, of course they will find some but then that will be their loss after all....  Read More at  life-in-dublin.com/my-birthday-a-great-day-for-disappointments/  © Life in Dublin

Recently a wonderful guy with some issues got in contact with me, after which came the real subject, that he wants to move from Croatia, he feels that he cannot live life with dignity there anymore, he has cried so many tears so far and even his mom thinks he is sick, all because of his sexual orientation, because he’s gay. The guy has a master’s degree, works in a government company and the only thing that he really wants from his life is to find a person who will truly love him. Well, that’s another thing that I love about Ireland, from 2010 civil partnerships between persons of the same sex have been made legal and recognised by the state....   Read full story...
