Me and work

I work usually during summer holiday on temp work (brigáda). At first I worked like newspaper deliverer. Next summer I worked in an “Opatová Cottage”, where I cleaned rooms and helped in the kitchen. In summer 2009 I worked in one’s shop with clothes in Prior. I liked it because I met a lot of new people during my working hours, which were from eight to six o’clock. I had a one rest – long half past hour. I earned enough money, to I bought things, which I wanted.
