Ok…I have to confess…I love Flat Eric. He was a puppet used the Levi company is some commercials back in 1999, early 2000 (I think). I mostly like the commercials where he is dancing, mostly because he and I dance the same way.

So without further adieu, here is Flat Erik and his dancing….as mov files

I am going to Oslo tomorrow and I am pretty excited about that. I feel like it should be a lot of fun. I don’t know that I am using the right word when I say fun, but I basically mean that it will be nice to take a break from all that is Stockholm and be anonymous for about a day. There is a lot of crap and drama happening in Stcokholm now on all levels of my life and I am just looking for a clean break to get away and thing. And although there is absolutely nothing happening on Sunday, I just wanna walk out of my hotel, find a place to sit down with a glass of champange and something to read, and just relax for a few hours. Nowhere near a hotel…just a local hang out to have a relaxing evening. It sounds so nice when I write about it that I wish I were there now…

Well, the audit i talked about two weeks ago is finally coming to an end. We don’t know the result as of the time I posted this, but I am sure we will know soon. The whole experience has been devastatingly tiring and I for one am glad that its over. But now I must get back to my normal operations and my day job, so no rest for the weary. wicked. whatever.

I have been thinking about what do to this weekend and I am unsure. A big part of me wants to really fly to Olso for the weekend and just have fun and celebrate. But it is also a holiday here on Monday, which means that the Sunday clubs will be open. However, I have a business reason to be in Oslo on Monday, so maybe I should just have a relaxing weekend and then fly to Olso on Sunday night. I have some friends there that I can meet up with since I have not seen them in a really long time.

Right now I should be working during my lunch time, but I decided that I shall blog instead. And speaking of blogging, my company now released guidelines on blogging. Having not even read the guidelines yet (although I will soon), I am not sure how I feel about the concept of companies telling someone how to blog on their personal time. I mean, I completely agree that when I personally blog, I shouldn’t give away company secrets, sensitive information, or make pretend that I am representing the company when I am not. but other than that, that should be all. People should be able to post whatever they want. The individual is the person who has to live with the consequences of what they post.

So anyway, back onto other things. I ate a realy nice restaurant in Stockholm called Gondolen. Steep price but the view was amazing and the company was nice.

So I guess before I go I better say one more thing…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARA!

🙂

I know that the past few weeks have seen me substitute useless quizzes and other stuff for information on my life, so for that I am sorry. But it has been a really busy time for me and I have had a lot of stuff to do and on my mind.

First things first…my wireless router just basically stopped working, so I had to go with the standard network switch. SO now I can have my laptop and desktop connected at the same time again.

Yesterday I got to work at 07.30 and finished by 19.00, so only a 12 hour working day for a change. This week we would usually have had to have added an extra 2 hours to that. I have been coming home, having dinner, and then going to bed because I have been so tired.

On Thursday Max, Markus and I went out because it was going to be the last night that Markus was around for a few weeks. For those that don’t know, Markus and Max are my best friends in Stockholm. We usually go out as a group and while I can call on my other friends to go out, I really don’t invest the proper amount of time for my other friends, so I need to begin to do that. And Max has been partying really hard the last 4 or 5 days, so I doubt that he’ll be up for going out tonight.

And I have been reading LJ entries for a good chunk of time now. Even though I am busy, I feel like I need to find 45 minutes or so a couple of times a week to just keep in touch and connect.

I also talked to Steve on Thursday night, and that was really nice and cool. I will make a trip to the states soon I hope and he and I can meet up and catch up on what the year has brought to each of us.

At any rate, I hope that everyone is doing well. Take care everyone and hugs!

Love, Rodney
