It is now 11 months ago, I moved to a new appartment. I still think it was a good move (so to speak).
It is half a month ago, my new job began. Still early, but I think that was a very positive change too.
The weather is gray and rainy, and the activity on the building site just outside my windows are intensified. But with the housing and job situation in mind, it is hard to be anything but glad at the moment.
You may not know it, by following my blogposts, but 2017 has been a changeful year.
There has also been a lot of uneventful months, which does show, when you look at earlier posts.
In February I moved to a new apartment in Copenhagen. Not downtown Copenhagen, which I couldn’t afford, but close still.
Born and raised in the countryside, it has been quite a change to move to the big city. But I really like it. A lot.
Let’s jump to one of the last days of September. The company I work for, has noted us all to be in place by morning, since they would announce an unspecified number of people, they had to terminate. I have been to events like this before, but this time was a bit special, since I was one of the people, the company had to let go!
In a way, I had seen it coming, but still it came as a shock.
Two months later, I fortunately managed to land a new job, which I start at in the beginning of 2018.
It even sounds like a better company, with better benefits for the employees. A job I most likely would have applied for anyway, had I known it existed (I only heard about the position, because friends and colleagues had been sweet to notify me of job positions).
I look forward to 2018.
Happy New Year!
Two months ago, I got fired. The company I worked for, wanted to move my job to a low salary country.
A week ago I landed a new job. 🙂
For as long as I can remember, I have been searching for ways to live better and to be a better person (better than myself up to that point, not necessarily better than other people).
I have also for some time (okay, way too long time) thought about how to expand the better living to also include my work life.
Once again, reality has knocked on my door, telling me I really should do more than just think about it.
Within the next few months, I must figure out what I want to do from now on – and make it happen within this time frame.
I did not decide the time for the wakeup call, but I do have something to say in what I can do now.
Cryptic? Yes, but right now I’d rather avoid being too specific.
More to follow …

In the beginning of this month, I have been on holiday in Russia: Moscow and Saint Petersburg. I have just returned home.
I have never been there before, and though I have heard it should be a beautiful country, I was surprised on how fantastic those two cities really are.
There has almost always been – and still are – some political issues. But it is hard to find a country, where this isn’t the case.
Everywhere I went, I met very nice and helpful people.

It is not much I write here.
But in short: In February, I got the keys to my new apartment. Since then I have moved some of my stuff there; gotten rid of the rest of the stuff, I did not want to move there; and got some new stuff.

Two and a half year ago, I moved from a small village to a larger town.
Now I am moving again. Much closer to Copenhagen.
I hope I am able to – and want to – stay longer this time.
Happy New Year, let’s hope it’s a good one, without any fear!
