so I`m back
will be here for another 10 days or so to sum up my work and finish transition with my succesor…
last month was completely crazy… expect an update about it these days, as soon as I get some time to write (maybe even tonight).

Things are getting more and more exciting…
Deadline for applications was last night, so now expecting a shortlist from AI…
People are getting pretty nervous about it and are asking millions of questions over MSN and e-mail…
And each question reminds me that I`m leaving soon…
Not that I`m not happy to be going home – I [...]

so I`ve been to Abdi Ipekci Arena in Istanbul, which is something like Mecca for all fans of Partizan Basketball Club… It`s a place where the finals of Euroleague 1992 happened, when Partizan won it`s only Euroleague title with Djordjevic`s triple in the last second…

Yeah, that`s the place from where he made that famous shot… [...]

so I had this chat tonight with one special person. That person was trying to convince me she is not such a good person I think she is… that she is a devil, that she is mean to everyone etc…
this is just the part of the chat… and I know that for most of the [...]

well, job-wise last couple of months were freakin` hectic… beginning of October brought the hype around the 2007 [...]

Heard tonight and couldn`t believe my ears… and he confirmed it to me tonight…
My US mate Andrew was selected to be the first MCP of AIESEC in Oman… When I heard I was speechless (not in a bad way, just speechless, surprised), but when I thought about it, it just sounded right… sounded like [...]

so Charlotte left… her 6 months traineeship is over and she went back to France…
one of the best persons I met in my life… and eventhough I promised to my self not to connect so much with other trainees (because I hate goodbyes and losing friends), she managed to get under my skin and [...]

From Steve Ballmer`s MS internal intro letter:
Did you know, for example, that we recycle 141 tons of material every month? That employees volunteered more than 76,000 hours last year? That we donated more than $2.5 billion to communities in the past 20 years?
The data and the human stories in the Citizenship Report show how our [...]

when you are coming from a small eastern european country, and especially from one that is not perceived so well in the world like Serbia is (so basically that little that people usually know about us is crap), then you are not surprised about different steretypes and prejudices people might have about you or your people.
