Opera and a Warm Welcome

Sunday. After leaving Pasco for forty minutes to go for a quick work out, we return home to see this:



This is the joy of having a dog... I had prepared to take all the recycling out later in the day. Should have known I was really just giving him something to play with... Get the fealing he doesn't like being left alone.

Later Nicklas and I went to te opera. Sounds so grande! My first time at the opera I might add. We saw "Friskytten" - no clue what the English title would be. A german opera, which had been translated into Swedish. Lets just say I don't think I'll ever be opera crazy. Some parts were good, but I'm just not a fan of the traditional female soprano in the opera sense. Can't here a word they say, and don't even think it's all that pretty. Sorry. But I'm not saying never. Will keep an open mind, and maybe Jonas will manage on his quest to convert all opera antis out there... including me. :)

Happy Days

It's interesting how some days can be just about perfect, and others so profoundly crappy. Yesterday was one of those profoundly crappy ones, but today has really quite made up for it.

Friday morning started with me locking myself out of the "tvättstuga" (common utitilty room) at a little past 8 am. This meant that I had to sit outside the door waiting for the next person who had it booked before I could go anywhere (2 hours later!)... and that was really just the start of it.

Today on the other hand started with a really nice sleep-in and then driving out to Drottningholm. We enjoyed the sun and a wonderful walk while letting Pasco have a play with all the other dogs for a good hour and a half. Then home for a relxed lunch and a nap. I love naps. Then it was off to the gym for a bit of treadmilling before heading home to rent movies and get pizza :) Hehe. What else is the point of working out??

Now we're watching Resident Evil no. 3 - not my choice I might add. Turns out it wouldn't have been Nicklas's choice either had he known it was a zombie flic. So I figure I'll websurf my way through it so as to have something other than zombies to focus on. I have a terrible habit of having some seriously weird dreams after stuff like this...

Other than that I'm just enjoying a little time off before starting the new job a week from Monday. So looking forward to it. :) Not often I've said that about going to work before in my life!

New job... EXCITING!

So, just wanted to let everyone know, that from now on there will be no more panicky entries about job hunting, interviews and all that. I just received the call I've been waiting for - I got a job! Start date is still a little unsure, have to check som stuff first, but soon. I will be the new project manager for www.studentum.com. YIPPEE!

Now, I must pack, eat and get ready for London. Ciaaaooo!

Google me

So, for fun I thought I'd google myself, and see what came up. Turns out I'm a little tricky to find. Unless you know of my alter ego of course... lundiberger. Now google that, and just about every account I ever set up anywhere plops up. Oh, and if you know I have a dog named Pasco, that'll help along the way too.

Too bad I had no clue of the workings of search engines before I went online. Must better that next time. And next time should be soonish. Rigerstered my very own domain the other day: www.monikalundberg.se. Now I just have to finish the website to go with it. Design is done, just have to web it up, and figure out what to write on there... and we're good to go. Until next time. Toodles.

I see the light?

So, here we go for todays take on my life by my somewhat neurotic self. In summation - today would have to be considered a pretty good day.

I have just gotten back from a call-back interview at a place that really sounds quite good. I think the interview went fairly well. Hard to tell, but a little bird whispered in my ear that references are being called up as we speak. I guess that means that it can't have gone too badly. Now I just have to put my trust in these chosen individuals to sing my praise to the heavens! Haha. Not that there can ever have been any doubt about my greatness - of course - but a little help is always appreciated. ;)

And as if these bright news weren't enough, the fun doesn't end there. Tomorrow I make my way to Ericsson for an interview there. This would be a Manpower gig, but the job sounds ok, and I think I'm pretty likely to get it. To top that off Karin called today to ask if she should refer me to a job she interviewed for last week but felt I would be better for. :) And then Poolia called for a job I applied for last week with some extra questions. Can't be bad!

Now hoping I haven't jinxed myself by writing any of the above, I am off to the gym. Unwillingly I must admit. Not really feeling the vibe today, but since London is calling I only have two days to get my two stamps. (Reward thing for working out at least twice a week a the gym...) So tomorrow takes me London, and my parents for a few days of working for Dad, and living in what must be the most high tech house I have ever been in. Not seen it yet, but word has it it's a little out of the ordinary. Must remember to check if the lights come on when you clap!
