A new flat!

Thursday, 2. November 2006, 08:31:13

Wohoo, I finally found an apartment that I wanted, and I got it!

It's a tiny little place, but it was expensive enough. Luckily it was renovated in 2006, so I don't have to do much, just move my stuff in there.

I need a lot of new stuff too, so I guess I will have to dig deep in my pockets in order to get everything I need.

I ordered an Internet connection yesterday, bad news.. Have to wait 4 weeks before I get it!

I still don't know where I want to put everything, and how it's going to be, but I think it will turn out all right, and it will be fun to buy stuff and fill the apartment.. Except the curtains, I hate shopping for curtains

Maybe I will post some pics after I got everything set up, before the moving in party

Sports at Opera

Friday, 5. May 2006, 10:31:48

So, here I am again. I haven't been able to write for a while now. Why you might ask, or maybe you just don't care

Well, the reason is that we have gotten a ping pong table here at Opera, so after lunch and every break goes into playing the wonderful game table-tennis

I can't say that I have gotten any good, but at least I am better then when we first started, now I am actually able to hit the table, for the most part. And even smash the ball on rare occasions.

I love that table!

Flying is cool!

Tuesday, 4. April 2006, 10:15:09

This Saturday, two friends of mine and me went flying. One of them, Morten, has just gotten his pilot license, so we went to a nearby airstrip and rented a plane.

First of all we had to check the plane according to the checklist, but after a while we were ready to take off. Morten sat easy and relaxed and waited to take off. I was not that easy, a bit nervous, heights is not something I care to much about.

Once up in the air, and after about 15 minutes I was able to relax and just enjoy it, and it was really fun

He did some aerobatics that made our stomachs turn, but all in all it was a great experience! We even flew over where we lived.

Flying IS cool!!

A new week

Tuesday, 14. March 2006, 10:26:19

It seems like the snow has finally stopped falling, and the weather is nice and sunny

Went to the cinema this weekend, saw a movie called "Underworld evolution" And all I can say is.. well.. if you don't like vampires and special effect fights scenes, it's not a movie for you. I thought it was an OK movie, it was entertaining in some ways =) But this is not a movie that I would buy on DVD and put in to my collection.

I am very glad to see that fluffybunny has returned to the My Opera Forums, welcome back

This is just incredible, even more snow!! 30 cm in 24 hours!!

Anyway, enough about the snow.
Joen has finally been able to get the domain http://joen.com. Check it out, I bet you will find it exiting

, you could check out his real blog at http://joen.dk/ .
Other then that he excels at filling my desk with empty soda bottles, even though he is seated in the other corner of the office.

I'll see if I can get some of his pictures uploaded to my blog

Snow snow snow

Monday, 20. February 2006, 09:48:32

It's been snowing a lot here in Norway the last few weeks. And since my car crash, my car has been located on the parking lot in front of where I live and collecting snow.

This is the result:

After about one hour I managed to get all the snow clear so I can actually get in and out of the car and drive it.

All that snow...

On the move

Thursday, 16. February 2006, 08:47:08

We have gotten new offices

Our department have now moved down to a bigger office downstairs here at Opera.
The new office looks nice and big =) I hope we have as much fun here as we did in our last office. Our department has been in this office before, so Haavard got his old desk back, I bet he is happy about that.

It keeps snowing here in Oslo, but luckily I haven't crashed again

.
But all this snow gets me into a big traffic jam every morning, I hate traffic

.
Oh well, I guess I just have to deal with it, living so far away from the office and driving every day.

So I guess I have to this for his sake.

Four jobs I've had
1. Paperoute for Aftenposten. After school job where I delivered newspaper for about 1 hour, rode around on my bike. Sometimes the job was great, other times when it snowed or rained I would much rather just stay home.
2. Worked in a grossary store where I first worked in the cash register, until moving up in the line and bossed people around
