Few bloggers can boast about such quite long track record. Despite being short of time and other adverse circumstances I’m soldiering and don’t plan to give it up. To mark the anniversary, a short list of several out of over 300 posts that deserve to be remembered. I’m not judging they are my best, nor claim they are outstanding, but think are the ones worth reverting to.
The very first serious post – in the middle of option crisis in Poland
The first post on linguistic puzzles – first of many
The timeline of Polish history after 1989, but before its defining
moment which ensued 10 months later.
At the end of this trifling post – an appeal for support to Paula
Pruska, young Polish blogger, who documented her fight against the cancer, lost
on 31 August 2011…
A look at pathologies of Polish banking from before the times when I
immersed to it – as a 3rd year student with no job, no income and little assets
I was offered a huge loan…
The shift from socialism to free-market economy – who was better-off,who worse-off.
My take on martial law in Poland – hasn’t changed since then
Why I don’t commend pursuing loose monetary policy – a recommended read
less than two weeks after fourth consecutive interest rate cut in Poland
What’s to blame for the crisis – Lack of fear or other factors?
Black swan theory – posted two days before Smolensk crash – what a
coincidence…
A hilarious attempt to write a letter of application in English – one of
many lost battles betweens Poles and the most often used foreign language in
Poland.
How end justifies the means – after three years I look at how PiS and its
followers have no scruples to harness any method to attain their political
goals – this will never change…
The whole series of posts on the story of 1,000 PLN I lent to my classmate who turned out to be a compulsive gambler – I haven’t recovered the
money, but it’s nothing compared to him, up-and-coming lawyer expelled from
university, doing a sentence for unpaid debts and after a few suicide attempts…
Probably the most controversial post on Smolensk crash – number of
comments proves this best!
A comprehensive description of workings of Polish pension system,
written in time when it was one of the most topical issues – part 1 and part 2
Memories of 9 April 2010 and 10 April 2010 – for posterity…
The last post on studying at my university – foreign language teaching
evaluation
On taking risks – indispensable in our lives
A gloomy picture of farewell to the ruthless corporate world – this year
my company is going to lay off 600 employees, or over 10% of its staff. Here we
go again!
My last year’s examination of conscience – helped me understand a lot
and realise how many mistakes I had made…
A conversation between my guardian angel and me – over four months have
gone by, I have broken away, but still there are days when I have to chase away
ghosts of the past… And here is when it began. Over a year wasted?
Corpo-life in a nutshell – a wry look at absurdities of corporate
capitalism and similarities between it and the communism.
On top of this, I’d add all reviews of films and books – it never hurts
to have a dose of culture here…

...but keep at it just the same. Always a pleasure to pop by and catch up on some serious erudition. You are still my pick for Prezes NBP in 2035!
