A new life?!

It feels as if it was ages since I last wrote anything for my blog. I have been busy changing jobs and location. I have now moved to the townlet of Kristinehamn and started working at the international department of the SRSA, Swedish Rescue Services Agency. Before I got here I was busy making my mind up, as I had another offer that was quite tempting, and even got better after a while. So I was in the somewhat absurd position to choose whether to move to Kristinehamn or Dhaka. I still feel satisfied with my decision!

This far life in the small town seems ok. The town is by the water and is a nice summer town. I have just two minutes to a beach from my apartment and the office as well. That is another good thing about small towns; everything is close. It is quite pretty, although very quiet, almost a bit dead and I wonder what it will be like in the winter…. But what the heck, I don’t have to spend all my time here!

The job seems great!! Today we had a day of social activities at the office and I got to learn mine searching and see some nasty bombs and mines as well as some very heavy machines to get rid of them; got to see a mobile emergency hospital; do some GPS-caching and do some wall climbing. Great fun! Ok, that is of course not my normal work. I am in the strategic section and will work with strategies and policies, but it is cool to have an exciting employer. Something different from the work with migration matters! I think it will be great!
