2. Which is better: being an employee or an employer?

being self employed is by far the best thing in life... only if you can handle it of course.
3. "take a job you love and you never work a day of your life" - do you agree with that?

nope, no matter what kind of a job you have, unless you are self employed, you are still stuffing someone's pockets by slaving and making peanuts.
4. Have you ever had an experience with something unexplainable by science? What was it?

I've seen things levitate.

1. Where are you going for your holiday?
Already had this ... ok sorry: office, 4th floor.
2. Which is better: being an employee or an employer?
Which gets you more dough and which lets you sleep sound at night? I choose to earn less but be able to pull the plug once I've left the office in the afternoon/evening.
3. "take a job you love and you never work a day of your life" - do you agree with that?
Yes.
4. Have you ever had an experience with something unexplainable by science? What was it?
5. What kind of movies do you like most?
Depending on my mood: comedies, thrillers, adventure, horrors, documentaries, the list goes on...

Thanks Agnieszka. I spotted that anarchy which had appeared before. As we can see there is only one lord :-)
1. Where are you going for your holiday?
to Paris, to Spain, to Bornemouth and to Wales :-)
2. Which is better: being an employee or an employer?
watching my job it's better to be employee. My boss has many things to do many more than me and the rest of my work mates :-)
3. "take a job you love and you never work a day of your life" - do you agree with that?
no, if you have a knowledge how to balance work and private life.
4. Have you ever had an experience with something unexplainable by science? What was it?
yes, some of them. once, when my son was six months I was with him at our place. I was having lunch and my son was sitting on the chair and was playing some toys and watching me. Suddenly I heard that he said "give me some mum" but he didn't talk that time :-)
5. What kind of movies do you like most?
good ones :-) - Oh, I've copied Rafał, sorry :-)Katarzyna M. edytował(a) ten post dnia 18.07.09 o godzinie 11:27

Thank you, Agnieszka :)

1. Where are you going for your holiday?
to Budapest (F1 Grand Prix) and then in August maybe someplace in Poland
2. Which is better: being an employee or an employer?
Employee I guess, you are granted things that you don't have to worry about. Besides polish labour law is more generous for employees in case of any legal action.
3. "take a job you love and you never work a day of your life" -
do you agree with that?
No, whether you love you job or not it just affects our motivation. job is always a job
4. Have you ever had an experience with something unexplainable by science? What was it?
No,I haven't
5. What kind of movies do you like most?
Well, proffessional productions of any kind, with original plot, great soundtrack, not-blind-camera-operator and some nice actors would be appreciated.
Everything has to fit to the main idea of the movie.

It's been almost 3 full days and only 7 replies to a Five4Friday?
Everyone must be on holiday! :)
Good... good...
1. Where are you going for your holiday?
To my garden. At least I'm trying. If the sun is out, I'm there for an hour for a quick sunbath.
2. Which is better: being an employee or an employer?
Probably the latter on average, but it truely depends on the job and the boss.
3. "take a job you love and you never work a day of your life" - do you agree with that?
Mostly. But it's not as sweet and easy as it sounds.
4. Have you ever had an experience with something unexplainable by science?
No.
5. What kind of movies do you like most?
Sci-Fi, Action, and romantic comedies if they have a strong script with a friggin'-good cast.ilter K. edytował(a) ten post dnia 20.07.09 o godzinie 10:21

1. Where are you going for your holiday?

2. Which is better: being an employee or an employer?
It depends on many things, for me being self-employed.
3. "take a job you love and you never work a day of your life" - do you agree with that?
yes but it's quite idealistic
4. Have you ever had an experience with something unexplainable by science? What was it?

1. Where are you going for your holiday?

Just come back from Britain and now I'm off to Augustów!
2. Which is better: being an employee or an employer?

Depends on the character. If you can cope with risk then being an employer is an option. Being an employer, you can employ yourself and give yourself promotions! This is cool because sometimes no one wants to employ you. Employ yourself: problem solved!
3. "take a job you love and you never work a day of your life" - do you agree with that?

Yeah. It's better to look at a job as fun rather than work.
4. Have you ever had an experience with something unexplainable by science? What was it?

Everything is explainable. Sometimes you just don't know the explanation yet.
5. What kind of movies do you like most?

I like movies which dare to do something different.

Thank you, Agnieszka. :)
1. Where are you going for your holiday?
I'm walking on egg shells not predicting my holidays. I was delayed twice in a few months time. One concerns a labor of love, one does not. So I ought to be even. It's been such smooth sailing so often for me so I'm just accepting my turn. :)
2. Which is better: being an employee or an employer?
Employer mostly. Then it seems that the jobs in which the bulls*** goes uphill are jobs that have to do with health, human, and civil services, at least in my observations.
3. "take a job you love and you never work a day of your life" - do you agree with that?
I'll buy it in the sense that it would rarely seem mundane or present hardships to someone like that.
4. Have you ever had an experience with something unexplainable by science? What was it?
That I was born, I'm human and live among humans.
5. What kind of movies do you like most?
I like short films, documentary films. I dislike Hollywood. I'm attracted to types of epic cinematography. I like small, independent films. I used to pay attention to the Sundance Film festival but now I don't. I like all the Hitchcock movies.Joj Y. edytował(a) ten post dnia 21.07.09 o godzinie 04:58

Already been, kinda. Went to meet up with Dave Andrew hahaha.
Going to the seaside in two weeks, to spend some quality time with the kid and hopefully catch some sun.
2. Which is better: being an employee or an employer?

Freelance.
3. "take a job you love and you never work a day of your life" - do you agree with that?

Nope; I love my job and work around the clock. The fact that I enjoy it doesn't make it seem less like a job.
4. Have you ever had an experience with something unexplainable by science? What was it?

Yeah, British customer service a couple days ago. Inexplicable 90-minute wait for lunch. WTF?
5. What kind of movies do you like most?

No preference, I like "good" (should I say "nice"?) movies.
