A job for me?

I just found the weirdest combination of required jobskills ever

Beskrivning av arbetsuppgifter:
Leda medicinsk mjukvaruutveckling, bedriva läkarmottagning med ayurvedisk inriktning. Rekrytera programmerare i Indien/Nepal, hålla föredrag om och undervisa i Yoga.

Beskrivning av kvalifikationer:
God kunskap i både västerländsk och österländsk medicin, Kunskap och erfarenhet av att leda mjukvaruutvecklingsverksamhet, Goda kontakter
med programmerare i Indien/Nepal. Yoga lärare. Verifierat intresse av att utveckla nya företags- och demokratiformer.

I think I pass on the programming side, but fail miserably in the eastern medicine, yoga teacher, and the certified interest in developing new forms of democracy. Bummer.

The bev rut

Buu. I had just made some pytt-i-panna, and was getting ready to snuggle down infront of a sweet episode of 90210, only to find out that it's stuck in that kind of sucky place. Kelly has been shot, and the only other drama is Donna trying to get the guts to tell her mother that David is moving in. Seriously, how the hell can Donna's mom not think that girl is on drugs?

Kinda cool

While no one in Sweden seems to want to hire me, I just got this letter from a little old company called Rockstar Games. Yeah, you might have heard of them.

Hi Magnus,

I handle global recruitment for Rockstar Games and we are actively
looking to hire talented 3d graphics engineers.

Rockstar Games has internal development studios located world-wide with
our recruitment efforts focused towards Rockstar San Diego - one of our
premier internal studios.

Wolfgang Engel has recently joined us in San Diego and mentioned your
name as one of the contributors to ShaderX^3.

We are very interested in speaking with you regarding potential
opportunities within the Rockstar family so please let me know if/when
you might be available for a phone call. I am aware that currently you
live in Sweden so please know that relocation and visa sponsorship are
standard for Rockstar.

Thank you in advance for your time and I hope to hear back from you
soon.

Sooo, if I wasn't that obsessed with moving back to Göteborg, I could be moving to San Diego instead. Oh, well, such is life.

I finally did it!

Yay! I finally got my laundry done! I'm seriously not joking when I say that I don't think I've done any laundry for, hrm, probably closer to 3 months.

I think I must have invented some new phases that come after "oh noes, my clean underwear is running out", "hrm, time to break out the emergancy pair", "sure, pajama pants are perfectly good underwear" and then 3 times "thank god Brothers still have their 3 for 299 kr offer". But hey, I survived.

It was pretty weird getting up at 8 am this morning, and actually doing something constructive, but hopefully I won't have to face another trauma like that until, hrm, September?

I did feel slightly violated though, as the guy who had booked the 11-14 slot apparently couldn't wait 5 minutes for me to rush down and get my stuff out of the dryer, so he has stuffed it all in my (pink) laundry basket, and left the basket outside the (locked) laundry room door. Scary thoughts of panty sniffers run through my mind..
