Ragnchild

This is the story of a famous book, a slightly frustrated fan and some desolated mountain areas. Once upon a time there was a girl who worked high up in the mountains, so she decided to order the last Harry Potter book through the Internet. This seemed like a good idea, until she discovered that the store had decided to automatically send the book to her home address, which is not very helpful because she is currently living in another part of the country. So the girl decided to ask her mum to forward the book, but then discovered that said mum did not return from holiday soon enough to be able to send the book so that it would arrive for the girl’s day off. She then called all her friends, and one of them was kind enough to send her copy on the same day, and the girl also postpones her day off, so that the post has two whole days to transport a book across a distance that takes about five hours by bus.

Two days later, the girl sits on the stairs, waiting anxiously for the post, and when it eventually comes, she runs to the mailbox, eager to start reading. It only takes a few seconds for the truth to sink in - there is no book there! Continue reading Can I have my book now please?

As explained in my previous post, I got a job that requires me to live where I work.  I don’t have internet access there more than once a week, so I won’t be very active with blogging for the next month. As they say; “I’ll be back”.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity of useless job advertisements and applications that didn’t pay off, I have a job. What surprises me most about it is how the job hunting situation was suddenly turned upside down, my future boss actually seemed very happy to have found someone that would work for her. When she called me back the first thing she did was to ask me if I did want the job, just to make sure, as if I had to consider my 10 other great job offers. Another funny part is the place that I’ll be working in. It’s a place that rents cabins to tourists (the way I understood it), and it’s high up in the mountains, so I’ll actually be benefiting from the parts of Norway that I’ve always found funny, and the fact that tourists seem to think that they’re magnificent.
