Spring Time

And once again I lost myself in my everyday life (read that as "just lazy"). And now it's the end of February. Not much happens during work, except last week when I had a really rough time. Friday, I lost one of my gloves. One of them, it annoys me even more than losing both cause now I will always be reminded about losing the pair. Anyway, went to the store to get some chicken and what happens? I don't read the freaking label and buys clubs instead of filet's. And I only notice that after I defrosted them two days later. It didn't help that the particular brand of filmjölk I like was out in the store. Does it end here? No, the following day (that's Monday) I almost miss the bus to work for some reason that escape me at the moment. The senior customers of the bank rails on me because I can't let them into the bank vaults (I'm just an intern for goodness sake). Then on the way home I take the wrong bus and the following morning I get on the bus in time, but it became delayed due to many people wanting to board it and then some cyclist walking on the narrow road. Short and easy, it was a hell of a week.

At least I had some better moments. This weekend my sister participated in a farce so me and the rest and the family was invited so I had to take a trip to Örebro. It was about Wilhelm Tell, the Swiss liberation hero. A very entertaining show if I say so. Good music, good acting and good (or so bad it's good) jokes. In the music department we had the snobbish side of me smiling for the Wilhelm Tell Overture (or it could be my Disney nostalgia), my metal head could have (but didn't) head-bang to a rewritten Hearts on Fire and then some other classic songs rewritten. One that made me smile just hearing the first tunes was a rewritten Brave Sir Robin from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The only downside was that the music sometimes blurred out the song. And most importantly, I actually helped to write part of one of the songs (or part, it was one word but still). My sister actually called me and asked for a two syllable word that had some connection to the Jönssonligan-movies. The word was flagpole if you had to know. Unfortunately I couldn't get writing credits since it was a "do over song" so it wasn't in the pamphlets and therefore no credits.

Working 9-5

Been working for a week and start again tomorrow. A really good experience. It helps that it feels like I'm taking control over the internship group from my experience, knowledge and age. Yes, I'm the oldest. And I also got my own office last Wednesday and the others were a bit jealous since I was so far back in the building that no customers would walk up and ask for my help (which would have been "It's my first week, but I think s/he can help"). Privileges, gotta love them. Another one was that I also got our only key that we interns have to share so I had the honorable duty to open the door for the others. At least I don't have to wait outside in the cold, the cold that just hit us this winter. At least it wasn't as awful as the two latest winters that really was cold with a minimum of one meter of snow across the whole nation. So have a great week, cause that is what I hopefully will do. There was something else I have forgotten about. What could it have been? Probably nothing important.
