Sad day

Today was a sad day for me. It was my last day at work because as from January 1 my work no longer excists.
It's hard to grasp although I've known it for a long time but it's so final when you have emptied your room and lock it for the last time. Nothing left that reminds of me just a computer a desk and a chair and some empty shelves.

To think that I have been working here for 28 years! That's almost a lifetime. I have enjoyed it immensly and I have always been able to grow and to develop in my work. That's probably why I've stayed so long. I liked working at SRSA College Rosersberg and being a part of educating firefighters and sweepers. Now they are supposed to go to Revinge in Scania or Sando in Northland. Neither of them really suits the vast majority of firefighters to be since they live in this region. Well, we must be honest - In the region of Stockholm, Malardalen, Ostergotland and Vastergotland lives 3 million people and here we will now have no college to train firefighters. The ones that don't want to go to Sando or Revinge is to be educated on distance studies via computer. OK, I only say Good Luck to you who gets one of those trained when a fire starts or when a car crashes.
This is something most people don't know because our media hasn't brought this to peoples attention.


Enough wining now. I don't have a work, yet, but I have a lot to look forward to. Like tomorrow when our good friends, I and K and "grandchildren" are coming over to celebrate New Year with us.
Then on Friday our very good friends J and K are coming over for Christmas dinner (yes, yet another one).

Next week I'm off to London to see H.E.A.T perform. Then back home for a couple of days and then off again to New York. Back home from that I go to Gothenburg for an intense week of education.

And then up to Skelleftea for Melodifestivalen.
So you see I have plenty to do right now.

But now I will go to bed so I have the strength to be up until the new year dawns.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you out there. May all your dreams come true in 2009.

  1. Mia, I'm sorry about your work. After all those years, I can imagine that you feel very sad. Enjoy spending time with your friends and your trips to London and New York!

    Love you!

  2. Gott Nytt År själva! Jag är ganska nöjd med 2008 måste jag säga :) Upplevs så himla mycket. Nu sitter jag och hoppas på att det inte ska blåsa för mycket när vi är på båten. Ska strax iväg och åka skridskor. Kram

Anyone??

I wonder if anyone can see and read my blogg? I haven't had any comments in so long that's why I ask. Erik didn't win a Grammy last night but he had a blast and he and his fiancé looked just great! Another Swede, Ludwig Göransson, won 3 prices though. Congrats to him.

Oh my God

The Christmas smorgasbord I just realized I haven't written anything since November 23! But I can tell you I haven't been lazy but there has been so much going on that I haven't had the strength to write. I had meetings that week and I was supposed to be at a conference hotel for lunch that Friday but I was to tired I had to cancel it. So instead I baked safron buns (!) and made chocolate troufles with ginger.  The ferry On December 1 it was Staffan's birthday (Hasse's oldest son) and I worked and worked at my job. Thursday I and Hasse were supposed to go to the theatre and see Come again Charlie, which was one of my birthday presents - thank you Pär and Brita. But Hasse wasn't feeling well so instead I asked Linnea, my bonus grand daughter if she wanted to go and she was very happy that I asked. We had a really good time and the play, which was a comedy, was funny but also with a message which made you laugh and then stop. It was about the si...

Sad day

Tonight Olle, my adoptive father that has been like my father almost all my life, died just before 9PM. It was very quick. I talked to the nurse at 6PM and everything was calm then. Just a bit over 2 hours later she called and said he's gotten worse. I asked how and she said his skin changed colour and that he could have 10 minutes or 10 hours left. I was just trying to get to my sister on the phone and ask her if we should go down when the phone rang again just 15 minutes afterwards and it was the nurse telling me that it was over. He went very peacefully and in his sleep. At the end he was given a lot of morphine so he wouldn't be in pain, which he wasn't. I called my sister but we both felt that we already had said our goodbyes and therefore didn't go down to say a last goodbye. He is probably up there somewhere looking down and sensing our feelings. We haven't been able to reach our mother yet and we probably won't tonight so I will tell her when I go there ...
