SEPTEMBER

Autumn is approaching fast and time flies.

Last time I wrote something here, among other things I was wondering where Armand had disappeared to. Turned out he was only very busy and had a lot of work to do. Have spoken to him several times since.

Then Ulla more or less disappeared. I've spoken to her though on the phone and she told me that after the birth of her grandson, she became ill (exhaustion probably) but is well now,. Then her husband Feri got a minor clot of blood – which is no small thing at the age of 82 – and had to get checked up. He is also back in business. Then the flat-swopping didn't get through. Turned out one of the landlords involved wasn't all that serious or respectable so they backed out of it. Which left everybody exhausted and their flat in a chaos as they had prepared for the moving. I also think she is very worried about her husband. No matter if you have thought the thought or not, I think you can never be prepared for the worst. This time it didn't happen, but what about next time?

On the job-arena there are some news and maybe by tomorrow it will all be settled. I certainly hope so.

I started to get desperate to get a job and therefore suggested I'd be the temp for S. at my old job during the time she is on maternity leave (about a year - a year and a half). The suggestion has been acccepted on condition that they get recompense for me from the employment agency. Which they would get – we have had a meeting about it – if they apply for it. Also on the condition that I would accept a much lower salary than I used to have plus a flexible part for eventual consultant jobs that I can charge for (if I have the time to do them). Still, better than unemployment pay plus the small sum for my approximatley 25 percent there which I get now. Job in itself would be mainly admiministrative. But I was then not in a position to choose and thought it would be better than nothing when I suggested it.

Only a couple of days after the meeting at the employment agency I got an offer about job from the big newspaper where I worked half-time during the spring for five months. They want me back. Full-time. Nights. Well-paid. I said yes of course. If all negotiations and formal things go through the way it is expected to do – which I will probably know tomorrow – I will start there in a weeks time.

I long to be able to say bye-bye to my old job-place and just get out the door and let them survive the best they can without me (which means without somebody updating their website among other things, and nobody to hold courses). I'd love to get out of the "hostage"-situation I've been in there the last two years.

I'dont dare to believe in it until I get an all clear. Which should be tomorrow. More then.

The last week has been cold and autumnlike. The colors of the trees are starting to shift. It has until now though been a quite warm, pleasant and sunny September. Sandal-weather is now over for this time even if we might get some nice days still before the real autumn arrives.

I've started some kind of blog recently. I'm not yet comfortable with the software for handling the blog so I still write here. The blog – with the meager content that is presently in it – can be found here. The plan is to move what is in the Thoughts department over to the blog. Eventually... Provided I get a better hang of how the blogging software works.
