It’s been quite some time since i posted here now, 7 days to be exact. There are several reasons to that. First of all, it’s because I’m simply not in the “posting mood”, see sometimes when you blog you hit a dry period, when you really don’t feel like sitting down and typing random gibberish. I mean sure, it’s not like there’s nothing to blog about, but sitting down and actually write about it takes a bit of effort.

So what’s news? Hm, to sum it up work has been dominating most of my days the past couple of weeks. Ever since I started on work I have been feeling a bit stressed out, not in a kind of “too much work” way, far from it, but in a “oh no i have to go to work in only 4 hours” kind of way. Silly i know, but working late makes the day before you head for work feel like it’s just a waiting period. Anyway, I’m working, which is a good thing. And work is far from tiring, I mean, i came home from work about an hour ago, and what little tiredness I might have, is gone as soon as i get to sit down in my sofa, have some food and a cup of warm cocoa.

Now economically, it’s a bit different. I’m currently waiting for my paycheck from work, which haven’t showed up yet. All tough I’m not that surprised. In most cases they take everything from 1 day to 11 days after month change before they show up, but i wouldn’t mind having it right now. I need to pay the rent for this month, and it would be nice to have a couple of coins to spend on bread. I have let Wilma know that my rent will be late though, and she’s cool with it, so there’s really not that much rush. However, I wouldn’t mind paying back the people i owe money to as soon as possible, seeing as what annoys me the most is having debt. I will however just have 200kr left by then, but I’ll feel a hell of alot better :)

You might be wondering what i do at work, right? Well, okay maybe you don’t, but I’m going to say it anyway, so HAH!. Ok, first week i asked people about cellphone subscriptions, then i asked people about the climate and then it was about recycling glass and metal, and now I’m on to asking people about an electric company. So far the ones i enjoyed the most was the ones about cellphones, the others have either some really insulting questions, or too repetitive, or they’re too long and boring. This week I’ll probably stay on asking about the electric company for tomorrow, then I’ll probably get something else. We need about 400 interviews on that one, so it should be done by tomorrow.

Yesterday was great fun by the way, thanks a lot to Elin and Julian for having us over to such a great Tuesdays night, with cocoa, food and snacks. We were about 10 people, and I felt as social as I’ve not been for weeks. I’m really looking forward to the next Tuesdays night gathering :)

Speaking of social, I really need to get more social again. Lately the only things me and Alina have been doing is waking up, hanging around in my room all day, then I head of to work around 4. Tomorrow she’ll be at school from 8′o clock, so hopefully I’ll be able to drag my lazy bum outside the door, get some errands done, then meet up with someone. If anyone is up for something, let me know! I’ll be starting work at 4 as usual.
And just as a side note, from week 42 I’ll be working from 9 to 14 (I think), so I’ll be available all afternoon instead then :)

Now, as for computer stuff go, I’ve made myself some notes while being bored at work about what i should blog about, and the following topics have been brought to mind:

- Write about Jumpingmushroom.com statistics
- Make some notes on how I’m doing on the AdSense moneymaking.

Write howto on:
– Getting SymbianOS applications
– Running ScummVM on various systems
– Pimping your Gnome or Fluxbox UI
– Pimping your bash prompt

- Top 5 desktop applications for GNU/Linux
- Top 5 movies you must see

We’ll see what i can get done. Most of the topics have either been done, or are a bit too boring, but it would be nice to write something more then an inner circle of friends would be interested in reading.

Oh, and while i remember it.
TODO:
- Add avatars to every post on the blog

That’s it for now, I think. Not much else i can write about that would seem much of an interest to people. I mean, I could write about how it’s going with me and Alina, but by how much you guys have been seeing of me lately, I’m sure that explains most of it ;)

Ciao for now, I’ll try to get some more blogging done during the next couple of days, or in worst case during the weekend.
