===== gliding itself =====

{{ :blog:szybowiec_chmury.jpg?400|glider in the sky}}

still flying, still in the air. :) primary gliding course approaches an end with at a speed. in few days time there will be first lone flights around club's airfield, as a summary of gained skills.

allong with the formal skills we're introduced unofficially to other pars of secret (sacred?) knowledge. today i've learned about the existence of {{:blog:lotne_opowiesci.pdf|lotne opowieści}}((found on [[http://files.derynski.net/lotne_opowiesci/lotne_opowiesci.pdf]])) (see also {{:blog:lotne_opowiesci_2.pdf|other version}}((found on [[http://aeroklub-podkarpacki.pl/app/webroot/img/upload/File/Varia/opowiesci.pdf]]))) -- flying-oriented version of probably one of the most famous polish shanty called [[http://spiewnik.wywrota.pl/14855_szanty_morskie_opowiesci.html|morskie opowiesci]]. it somehow reminds me of another famous sond, [[http://szanty.wolomin.com/szanty/?s=264|10 w skali beauforta]] and its [[http://www.kotwica.tarnobrzeg.info/index.php?module=Pages&func=display&pageid=64|non-censored version]]... ;)

===== bureaucracy continued =====

except the gliding few days ago i had a chance (a must?) to check my kinship with the camel. since i'm about to change my employer i was sent to do so called "work medicine tests". the funny thing was that i had to do this despite of the facts that i:
1) already have exactly the same tests done for my current employer (valid still for ~3 years)
2) passed precise medical tests that confirmed my ability to fly as a pilot of a plane
3) have a driving license
i had to do the tests anyhow ("just in case" i assume). bureaucracy will never stop making me wonder! tests were passed (surprise! surprise!) proving that not only i can drive a car or fly the plane, but i can also sit in front of computer. i sure they all are going to be terrified with the result - camel gens not found...
