Note to self: Must improve on my updates for this blog. It just don’t work out to update once a week, think I must solve that problem. Not that much has happened since I last wrote here, or I’ve continued to work my ass off and I’ve also visited Lund, a university town in Skåne (south of Sweden). It was really nice to get away for a while and to reload, specially after the first hectic days at my new job.
I got a month’s contract so we’ll see how long I want and have the strength for working as a members’ recruiter. It’s a fun job, most of the time, as you got to meet new people who you could have the most interesting discussions with. The feeling of that you have the power to affect other people’s opinions is to me worth the hard work. In some cases people have been positive towards death penalty early in the conversation, but when they’re leaving they’re against. The right to a life is in fact one of the human rights, and unfortunately many of us Swedes take that right for granted.
Then you meet a bunch of weirdos as well. Last Friday a man asked me why I was dressed in black (it was a cold day so I had chosen to wear my black pair of jeans and I had to have my Amnesty west which is black), does my clothes have anything of importance with how I do my work? Another man said that he was more in favour of ‘human obligations’ rather than human rights. People… And all those who seem to be so scared of us! That’s so silly. It’s enough to say “No thanks, I’m not interested.” and then we’ll leave you alone. We don’t actually want people who are not interested of human rights! And readers, the next time you see a members’ recruiter – be kind ’cause it’s probably harder to be rude.
