Change

The last couple of weeks a lot has happened. Quite big changes.

But before that I was starting to feeling bored and frustrated. Coming back from the moste wonderful holiday in Rio I found there was nothing much to look forward to. Nothing much happened at work and all my friends were to busy with their families and I don't know what, but I never saw them. All normal people started to look forward to the summer holidays but that is just another stressful moment for me as I never know what to do on my holiday until last moment. Everyone was just tired or ill or just in a very bad mood. Life was simply not very fun. I took out some of my frustration in a status up-date on Facebook, a couple of minutes later I had received and basically accepted an offer of a job in Brazil!

It was an almost religious expereice, as if someone up there saw me and realised I really desperatly needed something to happen (although I know perfeclty well how it all happened). Two days later I had an official offer and the concent of my boss to leave. It all seemed like a good idea for everyone. As my previous office need to cut costs and there was not too much to do anyway it would all be fine.

What happens after that?! Well it seems the whole world seemed to go crazy. First a civil war in Libya and then the absolutely mad situation in Japan with earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accidents. Since then we have worked more than ever. It has been crazy busy and all the time I thought I would have getting ready for Brazil has just vanished. I still look very much forward to Brazil, but at the same time it feels strange to leave the office at such a busy time and sad to say so, also interesting times. Not that I like disasters or conflicts to happen, of course not, at times I have felt some kind of disaster fatigue, feeling I cant't hear any bad news anymore, getting all depressed and cynical, but still this is what we work with and then of course it is interesting to see how the systems work when things happen, it is interesting to be a part of the handeling.

But soon it is time to change focus completely! I wonder what that will be like! :-)
