Almost: I am not a very nice and grateful kind of guy:)

Nobody gives me presents, so I do it myself in full: buy and present.

Just life: I’m from Ukraine so finding a job by my specialty is difficult, so I have found a job at a local factory. Job is far from my dreams and the salary is just enough to keep me alive. But there is a perspective of a more interesting position in this factory after a few months of working as a machine operator.

Is there some English word for “Ok so far, but I expect a huge pile of problems in the nearest days that will last for years. And while those problems are avoidable, I don’t avoid them because of the chance of them leading to something good”?
