There is a time for blogging

Rule: Blogging does not take any time. It is something you do while waiting for something else.
Exception: When you have abstained from blogging from quite a while.

What happened? One day I was quite regular with my blogging. The next day - two years had gone without any input from my side!

Time is a strange thing. The leaps seem not to be related to a feeling of time, but rather to actual dates. It felt like yesterday but I can see that I haven't been updating you on my life for two years!

Well. My studies at last came to a halt - much to my own surprise. I now hold a bachelor degree in humanities as well as a master in translation (and a Swedish master in humanities).

But the biggest difference was, not surprisingly, that I started to work. It took a while to get into a new culture although a lot reminded me about working in Ireland. Funny enough I am again the only Swede working as a translator, although I work in Sweden now. I have help from three more Swedes but some days I am on my own with all my funny foreign friends (alliteration complex - they are not funny as such, more friendly maybe??).

I would also guess that some Facebook-relaterd incidents got me a bit weary of blogging. In Sweden several employees have been given the sack due to comments made in blogs or Facebook regarding their boss or their work place. That doesn't help when you are new at work.

But I am alive and kicking and even if I do not write about work (better safe than sorry) - my life is more than just work so there will be plenty to read about in the future.

I am re-claiming time ;)
