It isdecember in sweden.... It should be cold. it isn't. Both october and november were the warmest since measurements began which is about 150 years ago or a little more. The grass is green and the only thing corect is that the trees are naked except for afew dried out leafs that that more look like dried up bats hanged up in the tree as protection for something. it is about 3-5 C during days and and a few minus C at most at night. very mild fordecember. The christmas trees that are getting in the big squares are looking lost like they walked in from an alternate reality. It feels strange. Not that i likecold, i don't, but it just feels strange when things are different.
The good news is that is that my christmas vacation is approved. My last day this year will be the 18 december and i dont start again until all the holidays are over. the 7th of january? Not sure of the date now. as little as i have been sleeping i'm gonna need it to catch up. Not planning on doing anything special, just being..........

Unusually warm in Florida too. I wish you a wonderful vacation- a time to catch up on your sleep, read, just do things you have put off while working.

Quiz: What Was Your Job In Ancient Egypt?

Scribe
de14cd60-d399-445d-8cda-f8665a528cd2.jpg

Intellectual and driven, you would've been an Egyptian Scribe! To some, this may seem like the most boring possible result, but not you! Knowledge is power, and for you and your innate intelligence - it is a way of life. Egyptian scribes were high up on the social ladder, and very important allies to everyone from merchants and nobleman to priests and even Pharaohs. Scribes went through rigorous schooling to become masters of the Egyptian hieroglyphic systems, and were generally some of the only citizens who could read or write in one of the first civilizations to truly master a written language. Your position would have been one of wealth, involvement, and influence in an otherwise harsh ancient world.

What Year Should You Have Really Been Born In?

1950
e49b185e-d8d3-4614-9273-9f676e4492f6.jpg
You should have been born in 1950! You are fascinated by all things 60s and would grow up during Beatlemania. Also, as someone who yearns to create a better world, you would be sure to be active in the student protests and political scene of the later 1960s!
1926
9a731909-f8ea-4270-9ec6-9c8b30015009.jpg

You should have been born in 1926! Although you would have been born in the swinging 20s, you would have grown up during the rise of World War II, and maybe even served your country. Your respectful nature and fierce loyalty is perfectly suited for this time period!

It's going to be the cutest, bestests thing in the whole wide world in here.
Shaping up. Propped pictures where I want them to go. Put books on shelves.

Bedroom almost done. Just have to put pictures up.

Hopefully, the shower is fixed - I think it is, I called. They said they were here today and took care of the problem.

I had cold water again today, after 2 minutes in.

NOoooo!!. Hello! Wake up!

Water pressure is insane in there. I have to get some guardrails or maybe some strap on weights for my ankles to keep me from flyin. Grabbing round. Hold on. No kiddin.

It's great. I can breathe again.

You should have been born in 1910! People may call you old fashioned and they're right! However, you do know how to have fun when you want to! You would have been a major fixture at the local speakeasys of the swinging 20s and always the 1st one on the floor to do the Charleston!

Congratulations on your move NN not_nadine! I'm relieved to hear you're out of that other roommate situation. They may be annoying at times but it sounds like at least some of the crew you work with have their hearts in the right place.

Thank you, Ms. Marsha. You are right. Just today, asked boss with urging from co-workers to change my work hours by just 15 minutes in order to walk with them in parking lot. It gets dark early now, and I had that trouble - and my spot is in the back.
Good giggle fun. We will see what happens. I am just not used to nice. Guard coming down.

Has had big problems with a talker at the office. It is impossible to focus!! He is mostly here on afternoons and talks all the time. About music, politics, history, books and every subject in the catalog. I almost get nothing done after 1 pm because of this. It is difficult to concentrate on getting the words right when someone talks constantly to you. I'm not the rude type but i wish i could just say cant you just shut up!!! Maybe i will.... The guy just cant take a hint....But i asked for another place to sit instead. Dont want to cause conflict or bad tempers in the office. well see what happens
