I realized I hadn’t posted here for a while now so I thought if there are by any chance someone interested in my whereabouts I better satisfied their wicked needs :)

Since the financial crisis hit us with full impact we have faced layoffs of both temp workers as regularly staff, and sorry to say I guess it won’t be enough yet. We have also implemented flexible work arrangements. This means that we are closing the entire plant and sending employees home with full salary. When times get better, we will recover the work stoppage days without overtime pay. I am a bit reluctant about this initiative, mostly because I want to stay home from work when I plan, not when the company does. But on the other hand, if this means that we will reduce the number of layoffs, then its fine with me.

Furthermore I have managed to get tickets to the AC/DC show this summer as well. This means I will see my all time favorites twice in a couple of months.


Moreover, we have spent a wonderful weekend in a Swedish ski resort. The weather was just excellent and the conditions in the slopes were the same. All in all we had a marvelous weekend and are already planning to go for a week in the end of the ski season.
