Just to keep you in the picture...

Cause actually nothing special (watch out for the bright response at 1:30). I got over after the translations, the next commissions don’t appear on the horizon, so hopefully I’ll spend the coming weekend ticking over rather than poring over something.

Except from this, Poland is shaken up by mushrooming reports on the cases of leakages and other irregularities during the gimnazjum final examinations (I’d dare to say it’s an equivalent of British O-Level – correct me, if I’m wrong, as usually). Such things have already happened and will surely happen, so what’s the point in drawing our attention to? Thousands of school leavers fray their nerves, an outgrown (18-year-old) school leaver and a charlady from his school will get to know each other better in a cell, a principal of the hapless landed in the hospital and pupils from the ill-fated school will have to repeat their examination. Tough luck – the price they had to pay for their folly – that’s what we call a collective responsibility…

Meanwhile the crisis is keeping well, Wall Street Journal announces Chrysler is going to go to the wall next week. Worth highlighting is that we all got insesnitive to the crisis, stock exchanges no longer react on the newly revealed data from real economy, IMF revises its forecasts and projects a contingent contraction of Polish economy. Germany and Great Britain are facing the deepest recession since WW2 and at least outwardly nobody cares…

Bank salespeople were looking for new clients on cemeteries and taking down their names from graves to set up current accounts and credit cards for them. Please keep in mind the sentence “How low can they stoop to live up to their superiors’ expectations?” That’s to illustrate the absurdity of sales target plans…

And the last point before the upcoming session of Monetary Policy Council – I’m sticking to the projection of stopover… And now I dash away to sound out what’s going on in the village…

Expect the next expert’s post on the procedures and conditions of submitting BA thesis – that will be a set of guidelines for the ones who got lost in the bureaucratic jungle of Warsaw School of Economics.

PS. Due to redecoration the dean’s office will be closed within the next week…
