I’ve had a very sharp wake up call, it almost frightens me. Head out the sand. I think that coupled with my ‘just got better’ from feeling pukey for a few days has taken an impact on me. When I’m ill I feel so trapped and immediately after I’ve recovered I often feel a sense of liberation and motivation. The new circumstances I am in and my life right now I am in awe at, but I need to walk a bit and not completely drift, I’ve been drifting- sleeping? Hello life.

This and getting serious to work, its not easy really, I mean I would have been limited in my English speaking surroundings with qualifications and experience, and here I don’t even have that advantage anymore of being around my native speaking tongue, although I do have the advantage that they are so short handed on people here for jobs that Its easy enough to get one that you qualify or have experience for! Such a contrast to what I’m familiar. There are variouse different kinds of jobs advertised and so many net based ones that are ‘stupid easy’ – that ‘anyone’ can do them so long as they stick to the instruction pattern..?  There may well be something morally askew in their nature. So here’s me… and I think the only way is to get active.. and change my attitude towards work. Its a family legacy where I come from to give in on the things that you would love to do, believing that YOU can’t do it, before you have even tried. What a waste. And… I’m disappointed seeing that I’ve fallen sucker to it to too.

Thanks MyLifeInStolkhome for the reality and truth in a fresh, friendly and vibrant manner in your journey of tackling the search for job and life in Scandinavia, If I fall asleep again- Wake me up!
