this morning was another one of those mornings. the kind where for no good reason I wake up early. i have developed this thing in recent years where no matter what I do, I just can’t sleep in.
anyway I do have more interesting stuff to post I peomise, but for the moment I am still testing out some features on my ‘new’ phone (new to me anyway).
hope this post finds everyone well. today is bon fire day in sweden so maybe i will take some pics.
for some reason i just can’t sleep tonight. i think i will just get out of bed (where i am typing thanks to wireless lan and my cool mobile) and watch tele until i fall asleep.
after all i am on vacation this week.
It’s just kind of a weird day. A weird week. I feel like screaming at the top of my lungs, yet all of the pressures kinda serve as their own feel. I feel kind of dead inside.
It’s a good thing that there is vacation next week.
Everyone once in awhile, I get a message from one of you out there about why it has been such a long time since I posted.
The truth is I have really bad reasons. I’ve never been known for my communications skills. I tend to keep in touch with people using technology-enabled methods, such as Facebook or here on LJ. Sometimes even on IM. And always SMS. I’m not big on phone calls and e-mail.
I think that the way I choose to communicate with people causes problems sometimes, and I know that everytime I try to change it, I do really good for a few weeks, but then I settle back into my old habits.
So, for those who have written and called, please know I haven’t forgot you. Just try to imagine that I spend lots of time in front of a computer and taking phone calls (even when I am traveling). So in my free-time, I tend to lead a tech-free existence.
I’m working on getting better at communication more often and more frequently. So your patience with me is appreciated 🙂
Well hello again…after a long haitus from LiveJournal. We’ll forego the usual sorry-I-did-not-update message.
Anyway, since I have last updated I had a really long assignment that saw we traveling back and forth from Denmark to Stockholm. It was really intense and exhausting and I hope we get the right result from our project work. We’ll know more in the next days.
In addition to a lot of time in Denmark, I also went on a weekend trip to Paris. Markus and Tomas were also traveling at the same time there, so it was good. And of course, Niclas and Pontus were so it was good to go around with them out. Alex met Chloe, and we found another great restaurant in Paris (surprise surprise).
So really everything was quite nice about the weekend. I did manage to pick up a cold shortly before going, so the last day in Paris wasn’t all that much fun, but still I managed to make a good time of it.
Next stop…Barcelona!
But first, rest and recovery since this cold managed to kick my ass last night and this morning.
Hola amigos…so once again my promises to update during the week days unfulfilled, here is an update on the weekend.
For those of you on Facebook, you know that I have been so very very busy in Copenhagen working on a major project. We have 3 more weeks until it is finished, but I certainly hoping that the end result will be good. It has to be good in fact so we will do our very best to ensure a positive outcome.
Anyway, since I last updated, Tomas has had a birthday and there is another birthday coming up. So many birthdays coming around the corner. Alex and I will take a trip in March but it is up to me to make the planning and ensure that it is all a surprise. I have several destinations in mind, but we’ll see what actually happens.
But other than this, there is not much happening. I am quite happy that the writer’s strike is over in the US, because hopefully my season pass for Desperate Housewives can start to deliver some value (Apple, I hope you are reading…I expect you to compensate those of us who paid you in advance so that you could book record revenues).
Anyway, more later. Hope everyone is having a good day.
Thanks, Rodney
Well, howdy everyone. I wish that I did have more time to post something with more meaning, but for the moment I don’t.
At any rate, I hope that this message finds everyone well. After I come back from 2.5 hours of spinning, if I am still alive, I’ll post more I promise 🙂
Hola Guapos…
Well I do have to say that since I have last wrote, I have been hella busy. I would like to be able to lie and say that I have just been too lazy to write, but the truth is, life has been non-stop since the beginning of the new year. But no matter, I am making the time to write here now. And since the link between here and Facebook now seems to work regularly and flawlessly, I don’t have to worry about information being in one place and not the other.
My personal life is overall okay…there have been up periods and down periods. Things are better now than they were a few weeks ago. Heard back from my sister which is always nice. Seems my parents have asked about me which I think is also nice. I decided that this year I would need to cut my expenses by 15% and so far I have drawn up a budget to do that. Things in the finance department are okay as well. It is just that I had decided last year to cut down and I actually increased expenses. So it is an opportunity to make financial amends for last year.
But really, I don’t want to explain all of the details of work, but I basically have been working a lot of hours, combined with travel to Hungary and Denmark.
I do hope that everyone had a good end to 2007 and a great start to 2008!
Lots of Hugs!
Rodney
A Total tool actually!
I have christmas cards that I didn’t send out this year (but be ready for 2008..sigh). I have presents for people not yet sent (I’m thinking of sending them as a combo christmas present vs happy-US-______________-month (you fill in the blank…every month has multiple official items).
I went to the gym today and I had a lousy workout…and it was a long time since I had went. I performed at only 75% of my potential…so now I am motivated to go back tomorrow and for the next 2 day thereafter to kick-start my workout routine. And I’ve fallen in love with digestive crackers and vegetable spread. And I haven’t had meat in 33 hours.
Sigh, but at least I have my health. And booze.
Hugs!
