Nothing new really. I have been sick at home for a week and it has been a slow week, that much is certain. Lots of time to think, make phonecalls, and clean house. At the moment I am in the process of ironing curtains for 6 windows. Actually it is a lot you can think of while doing something as monotonous as ironing endless amounts of fabric. What ( Read more... )

It's lazy sunday. I spent all saturday doing housework, watching tv, and drawing for Illustration Friday. Fun. Not the housework, but the drawing. Will post it during next week after I've had it scanned at work ( Read more... )

Sorry I have been gone so long, but time sort of passes without me noticing...there's been a lot of work, in two workplaces. Spektrum is quite fun, and a place where I feel welcome and happy. It is just a little too much on top of the other job. I've had a case going with some of my leaders. I was given a warning, and they very likely expected me ( Read more... )

Time flies and no update here in months. I have worked a lot, both at my normal job and at spektrum. I've got to see a few shows here and there, nothing spectacular, but ok enough. And all that standing around doesn't bother me anymore LOL. Other than that I've attended classes in media-graphic theory, and am now just waiting - and biting my nails ( Read more... )

My feet are killing me! Let me tell those who ever wondered what it is like to stand for 5 hours straight, -it's hard. I was dying to sit down and have a cup of coffee and a footbath. Had a ten minute break, that's all ( Read more... )

These are exciting days! First of all I signed the contract that makes me an apprentice for 18 months. First of all I have to read for a theory exam in december! But before and after there's plenty of courses to attend. InDesign, QuarkXpress, Illustrator, Photoshop, Flash and web-design, typography, layout, Dreamweaver, repro-classes (those and the ( Read more... )

My kids started school again yesterday. Both very happy and enthusiastic about it, thank goodness. And the ol' mama here has signed up for a two year program to get me through a learning process which eventually will lead to a certificate saying I'm a media-graphic expert. LOL ( Read more... )

I'm off on holiday in a week! Gosh I can't wait. Work has been a bitch lately, and it has worn me out completely. Luckily all of sale is off on holiday TODAY, so next week we'll have a chance to clean up desks, computers, shelves etc before I close down my mac and take off. The last two weeks my dreams have been exhausting, and I wake up in the ( Read more... )

May 17th, our constitution day, was nice and sunny. I woke up in the middle of the night before, thinking:"There must be a mistake. Do I have a disco in my living-room?" But it was only the
russ, high-school graduates in red overalls, that had parked one of their gigantic tour-buses in the neighbourhood, and blasted trance-music from arena-size ( Read more... )
