crappy day

Total crap at work today. Due to the financial crisis people got fired. And I am one of them.
So now back to the search of the jobs business.
This time I can go as far as Burkino-Faco if I need to. And then they will be so sorry for letting me go, even due to the financial crisis.

TV signal

A big thanks to the government on focusing on the problem of the many highly educated people. Tomorrow they will lose their TV signal, because they don't have flat screen TV nor cable television.
The shift to digital television signals is just one of many examples of how in a most shameful way the government did fail the cultural life in Denmark.First it went beyond the experimental puppet theaters and regional theaters. And now, the population, who prefers DR2 Channel Saturday programs on child slavery in Sierra Leone rather than DR1's reruns of X-Factor, are punished for having a different flavor than that dictated by the lowest common denominator.

typical situation at home and at work

There are two way different types of people in this world.

Nerd Alert

Davids picture, with violin and in action, made it into the TeX nerd journal. So proud of him!
The rest of us made there as well, as usual.

Denmark and Oprah

Present to my sons 8th Birthday

Being a mean mum and forcing my kid to go to French School and actually speak French there. To play violin, including extra workshops and concerts. To go swimming and actually listen to be good at that.
Well, now I have finally signed him to Russian as a Birthday present. David can understand quite a bit but he doesn't want to speak it. So from next Sunday someone is going to have 45 minutes of his mums language. My mum and I will be SO pleased. And David will be SO annoyed.

Office and old thoughts

It was a peaceful Thursday morning. I was making tea while suddenly I got hit by a ball. The ball managed to hit my nose and ended up into that cup of tea. And all that was happening in the office. And no, I am not working in a sport shop but in a prestige place with people who are wearing suits and ties.

The other news.. I am finally going to Switzerland. I have always wanted to see it, and now I am getting an opportunity.
But I can still feel the roots of my old passports. The first thought I had, when I have found out that I am going there is... Do I need a visa...
Now I am trying to tell myself. No, No, No.
