They Call Me Sweden

Today when I worked at Götgatsbacken in Stockholm I met one of my dear old teachers! She came walking with her cute cocker spaniel dogs and seemed to enjoy her life as a pensioner. She already was a member of Amnesty though.

What I love with my job is all the conversations  I get to have with so many different kinds of people. It’s a bit sad that the people of Stockholm are quite reserved and that we have the environment of that you shouldn’t approach a stranger. Don’t you think we should change that? Swedes, and specially people of the Stockholm area, are so stressed all the time, allways in a hurry somewhere. People in other countries, like UK, allways seem to have a minute over for a stranger.

As Swedes are as they are, I think members’ recruiters really appreciate when there’s someone who stops and listen to what they have to say. There’s so many great people in Stockholm, if you haven’t been here – please come and you’ll love them even if they are in a hurry. I promise

Hi guys!

This week as a members’ recruiter at Amnesty has been extremely tough. I don’t know at all what it is, but I really don’t have a flow now. Or, perhaps people just are truly not interested by human rights and Amnesty International. Think my boss wants to have a chat with me tomorrow at the meeting, I hope that my flow comes back tomorrow so that she wont be that harsh! Anyway, tomorrow’s an another day, there’s nothing I can do about today’s result.

When I had finished working I went to my hair dresser that I’ve had for about 2½ years now (I never let any other hair dresser touch my hair) for a makeover of my hair. You might know that I used to have really blonde hair, almost white, but today I chose a darker shade of blond. So it’s both dark and light highlights, but in a whole it’s still blonde. I also cut the hair so it’s a bit shorter now.

My boyfriend’s little brother has made a chocolate cake (kladdkaka) so I’ll go and see if it’s ready now. Have a nice night!
