2007/08/08Resume of the last six months

I was on a business trip to Wuhan, in China. I almost didn't make it, because I was sick the week upfront, but on the last day I drank a lot Fernet, which really kicked some sickness ass, so off I went - destination China.

I was in China for twelve days. During those days I had a lot of exiting experiences and great fun: I tasted a lot of new food that the people from the company ordered to me. Almost everything tasted good, but there where some exceptions: Like the foot of a chicken and stomach of a cow. Another thing that was totally different was the way to drive: They didn't seem to be any specific rules, but I was never afraid and the traffic went surprisingly smooth.

I did and saw a lot more than this, but it just won't fit in this "blog-resume"... It was a bit strange to leave China and my new friends after the twelve day long stay, but it was also good to get back home.

I've started using facebook. I haven't really been the most active user, and after getting to know the terms, I've become a bit of a skeptic: Facebook owns you body and soul - or at least everything you add to your facebook. I still think it's nice to have a placeholder for old and new friends.

Sometime in May, I got a new job-offer. It wasn't a direct offer, so I needed to attend some job-interviews, but after telling about myself and what I can, I got myself a new job at Linpro. I'm really looking forward to the new job, that starts the 20th of August. I also went to an interview at Opera, but they were not interested. It didn't really matter to me, since I was already keen about the job at Linpro. Linpro is in Oslo, so I need to get an apartment. I still haven't got one, but it doesn't stress me, since I have some backup plans...

I broken up with my girlfriend in June, so you can call me "Jan Solo" now:P It was kind of ugly, but I think it was for the best, even though some might disagree.

The rest of the summer, I've been working at Eidolon, trying to tide up any loose ends. It have been a lot of work, but it's nice to know that I don't leave things half-done. Next week I'll have a well earned vacation, before starting in my new job. It will be nice.
