I don't think I've ever been in there without having to wait in line at least 30 minutes. And because of my daughter's medicines I go there regularely. Today was of course no exception. I had put in money for 40 minutes in the parking meter, but was still a couple of minutes late back to the car. No parking ticket thank god!

Sorry for the ranting, I just had to let it out of my system.

I don't blame you; I would rant about that too. The wait is just ridicules. No one should have to wait for 30 minutes or longer to get medication. There has got to be a better way to handle things like that.

I suggest flirting with the chemist, maybe hold the prescription in your cleavage when you present it to him.

They're all women. Besides, this town is way too small for a teacher to start flirting openly. I have to think about my reputation.

[Jatsie]

Send Christer to get the prescription then!

[Jelena]

*laughs*
OK, I have to tell you.... he's not known as a flirtatious person.
Actually he's becoming grumpier and grumpier for each year.
Still love him though.

[Hammerite]

You could tell him to put the perscription at the end of the barrell of an Uzi.

But the real question is, does he have a cleavage he could put the prescription in?

[Jatsie]

How about the gluteal cleft?

My day week month has been made. Twice.

Not only does Noko tell me that Apollo Four Forty will be touring Europe in the near future (= likely this year), but I just managed to organise a meet-up with one of my favouritest* people in October. Ooh. It's wonderful.

* I know this is not a word. Hush. Don't burst my bubble of girlish giddiness.

Darn right. "Favoritest" doesn't have a "u" in it.


Ona more serious note, congrats, Pink.

Mwah. I just changed all major files of the forum I used to moderate on to point to a 'hijacking' page. Forced time-out for the different fronts! Mwahaha.

Affected person: "so... um, how long is it going to be offline?"
Me: "Oh, I dunno. Someone suggested Tuesday."
Affected person: " nooooooooo!"

I feel your pain, Scandanavian saps. I was in Stockholm last weekend and it was boiling (by European standards). And there were some nutters running a marathon! A marathon! In that heat! Just a crazy as running 26 miles in a hot country like Greece, if you ask me.

Incidentally, there were hordes of screaming teenagers driving around the city on the back of flatbed lorries, pumping out some loud music and generally looking pleased with themselves. I'm sure I heard on these very forums, possibly from our own Jelena, that this was some kind of graduation ritual, which certainly allowed me to appear very well-informed and knowledgable - but am I imagining it? I can't find any hint of this conversation taking place by searching Chit-Chat. It's a mystery!

Weather here is rubbish, by contrast. Spent an uncomfortably long time queuing on the motorway yesterday, which was flooded. Not a great lead-up to summer.

It was indeed graduation from upper secondary school/senior high school.
Usually looks something like this:
I can't remembering explaining it on the forums. Here's an explanation though:
The students leave school and are met outside the schoolbuilding by family and friends carrying placard with pictures of the student. Most often some funny picture from when he/she was a small child. Then the students go through town in a huge cortège in different vehicles: convertible cars, lorries or carts.
To finish off they visit all the families houses of their graduation class and party all night long.

Dear Diary,
Ah! Another successful mission!
All in the name of THE SHADOW METAL DAWN MASTER!
That ice cream man will be SORRY that he didn't except cheques!
Ha ha ha ha ha!

From Bomber Joe Stralzerberg.

P.S. Weather is just beastly.

[Huz]

Yes Jelena, that's exactly what it looked like.

If I didn't hear about it here, I wonder where I did. It's not as though I know loads of Swedes. Hmm...

The weather is indeed still beastly. Bomber Joe, your next mission is to sort it out.

Dear blog

I'm going crazy!

the 31 of July we have to move out of our student apartment. My bf finishes his studies this summer (he's done the exams, waiting for results), so we can't live in a student apartment any longer. It's impossible to get a new apartment here in Oslo without proving a stable income, which I can't prove after august, and my BF isn't close to. Therefore he was supposed to apply for work these last months, both in Oslo and other places, so that we'd have a place to move to.

He's currently working once a week, and going to work summer for them, but they can't employ him full time. I first asked him in April to find out of this, and it was the end of May before he finally got his recommendation letter.
He wrote his first job application (of a total of two) yesterday, while being in Bodo celebrating a big family birthday.

So we have about a month for him to get a job, find an apartment and move out of this one. And with his current pace of one application a day, the chance of him getting a job at all is very slim. Add to that the fact that he thinks he might have failed two of his exams, and might not get his bachelor degree, then you might understand why I'm freaked out.

I just have to sit here, watching him throwing away our future being lazy, and not having a clue what's going to happen after July..
I'm currently getting social security (called rehabilitation compensation), but might be thrown over on unemployment social security after August, and have therefore nothing I can use when looking for an apartment. And if we get an apartment in oslo, he might be offered a job somewhere else!
Just don't know what to do, I'm stressing, and he doesn't seem interested in even trying!

[Kolzig]

That's going to be tough month Panthera, I hope you guys can make it! You should kick him around a bit to shake of the lazyness!

It's really sad thing that if you can get a student apartment no longer and all the other apartments cost so much... It's kind of the same around here too in some places.


I had my entrance exam today, I have a good feeling about this. I wrote 8 pages worth of stuff and I knew most of the stuff that they asked in the essay questions. I hope I can get in to the university. 20th July I will receive the results.

[Jelena]

Panthera
You're in a tricky situation, no doubt. You have to find out a way to get him going, but how.... ?

Kolzig
Nice work on the entrance exams!

[samIamsad]

Your bf sounds a lot like me in some ways, Panthera. In which case, even a kick in the butt wouldn't do much of anything.

I was a bit lucky back in my days... FIrst, I sent in my application just a couple of days prior to the closing date and STILL got a place in the most sought-after study course at that time. And second, I rented a flat less than a week before the whole thing started....

swimming pool included.



Here's me,

recently I've started to suspect my mom of having an affair at 54.

Yours sincerely, forever and ever and ever (really?).
