Have now worked for a while it has been fun but a lot of work.
The good thing about being a waitress is that I get to do a lot of walking hence I'm training :)
Lately I have been catching up on a lot of things. I have updated my CV, met with Peder (my mentor) who helps me out with My Own Company. All I need now is a name, it has to be cool, catchy and yet quite exclusive...
Jessica, a friend of mine in Gothenburg, is leaving for Tanzania in January. She will do some volunteer work, starting up a computer education among other things. I truly admire that. If I wasn't so lazy I would go too. Now I just give money and hope that they come to good use.
The d*mn shelf is not up yet. I've been drilling for hours and all I have to show for it are four more or less ugly holes in my wall. Joachim has promised to help me out. It's not that I don't appreciate his help I just wish I'd been able to manage on my own. Oh well, at least I tried and it's no point being an idiot about it. You must always know when to quit, right?!?!
Ran into Dr C downtown when I was out shopping for Christmasgift on Tuesday. Haven't seen him since then but he called yesterday and I believe he will take me to dinner tonight. It will be nice to sit down and eat while others are waiting on me :)
Was supposed to buy gifts for others but ended up getting a fakefurcoat for myself. Oh, I did get a book about fashion for sis. On the 17th I'm gathering all my friends for our annual Christmasdinner. Everyone is supposed to bring a gift worth about 5 euros/50 sek, kind of a "Secret Santa"-thing. I'm buying something Henrik so I got him a very cool mug.
Today I'm not working, will give me time to rest my feet and clean my place and do some laundry.
Tomorrow I'm holding a champagnetasting for my mum and some of her friends. It will be very basic since they don't really drink that much champagne. My parents are more into different types of red wine.
Sunday I do think Dr C should make me brunch. I'll suggest this to him later :)
Well take care

Hmm ... yes, Allie is very good at suggesting to me that I cook her brunch ... it must be a trick you all learn at girl school when all us boys are watching football or something ...
Incidentally, your comments about the shelf put me in mind of something. There is a famous story about Robert the Bruce, who fought for Scottish independence, who after a particularly bad defeat was forced to take refuge in a cave to hide from the English army.
In the cave, he watched a spider attempting to build a web - the spider would spin then fall, get up and spin again and again relentlessly until it eventually made the web.
This gave him renewed (if ultimately misplaced) belief. It also gave rise to the well-known English saying "If at first you don't succeed try, try, try again."
Then W C Fields (I think) came along and ... er .. revised it somewhat: If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it."
Well, plan two will work for you every time--batting those eyelashes!
