Jingle freacking bells...

So fall has been crazy...at least work wise.
My contract was to expire in end of October..then I got the new challenge in Canada and Ive now visited Calgary for the first time (will ofc post pics later from my trip that for ones was a bit more than airport hotel, office, hotel, plane home:P).

We all agreed my contract was to be prolonged til end of march 2013.
So, happy as I got not to try to find a new job. And I can tell you that in the middle of a finance crisis its not the easiest to find the most "exiting jobs" so Ive been searching on and off for a year now and I found like 17 jobs in total that I can think of doing...:/
doesn't sound to promising.
anyways. so I decided to put my job search semi on hold over the holidays at least..then BAM!
there was an audit in the Nordics and the internal billing that we been doing the past few months was not OK suddenly :(
This means that as of 3 weeks me and my friends in Canda need to figure out a way how to hire me as temp staff in Canada but without me losing my social security in Sweden where I belong.

Ive been spending the past 3 weeks calling, taking notes, filling in templates, sending it to different governmental people and at the same time holding my 150% job.
This has been far from a easy task to do.

Meanwhile my BF Centi has his job as game developer and to find jobs to keep the one you have has shown to be pretty hard in the business. So we been looking and playing with the idea that both of us are without a ob as of 1Jan 2013.

We figures out we are not going to get anything dine..sitting home watching Dexter and The Mentalist and playing WoW is not going to give us work..LOL

But luckily on Friday his company got a few contracts keeping them busy for a year or so..and it seems that my dear Canadian friends is working on getting me into Kelly Services in Canada.

So it all seems to work out again..and yes..AGAIN.
Its been like this for the past 3 years with my job and somehow they always manage to keep me just a few days before shit hits the fan.
I love the company I work for and I love the work I get to do and the travels that are needed in my role but my god I hate audits and regulations doing nothing good for anyone really just to make sure to save "a few" ones that are not capable of taking care of them selves.

In the Nordics HR is hunting my ass..they are forcing the company to hire me for good and not letting me be temp staff.
EVEN though i WANT TO be temp staff...if I wasn't temp..I would never have this much fun at work as I have had the past 6 years. :P

sick puppy

..being me..I'm about to die..for sure..
Ive caught this crazy virus in Canada. And its tryign to end my days!
Not joking...so Wednesday I went for my normal lunch training..its been snowing all night so I had to literately dig my self out of the house..and dig my self in a few hours later..so I decided I had to take care of the damn snow or we would be snowed in tomorrow morning..
so 2h I spent shuffling snow from our front door area..then I wen tot train my normal 2h Wednesday class Combat + Balance.

I felt exhausted at the combat class and I skipped (yes you read right) I skipped the Balance..to tired in my body..but then again who wouldnt be after 1h lunch trianing 2h show shuffling and an additional h of combat?

So went home..and woke up at 2am...with fever from hell.
+40c is OK when you are a child but having it as a grown up...is dangerous..
Now this fever has now been upon me for 3 days..after 4 days I'm supposed to go to the hospital..its not good..not good at all.

sick puppy has man-flu...I'm not moving form bed at all..just drinking tea and sleeping away the days :(

geography lesson...

yeah that being me!
I landed with the plane from Calgary Canada.
Yep been in Canada, will update you later with the reason why :P
Anyways..In Calgary we had like minus 3c and landing in Stockholm we had -15c
Don't know what went wrong.
I'm joking to the Canadians that Nordics is like Europe's Canada..so they all loved me..asking if the US people thought we had polar bears walking our streets to.

there is actually people out there that thinks that Sweden is a part of US.
Funny isn't it?

So I thought I know a lot of people  outside of Sweden reading my blog so here is a bit of geography for you all^^
If your lucky you might learn something

Enjoy!

1. Nordics and it is containign of 4 countries.
Finland: Where I was born,people very extroverted IF you know Finnish. Sauna is originally form this country and they are known for their drinking habits.
Sweden: Where I currently live, friendly bunch with key words like, "lagom" and "Fika" (google it)
Norway: where I work..ed. They got oil, good food and fantastic mountain landscape
Denmark: Where swedes goes to buy cheap beer^^ Say no more:P

2. This is Canada. this is where Ive just been to work and this is where I will work as it seems a few more months. Fun people, very lovable.
Climate about the same as in Sweden (at least in Calgary) No polarbears and no penguins (they live on the south pole also for those who didn't know bears and penguins is on the opposite side of the globe..not bathing in the same pool.
