Wow, det har vært fem år siden jeg legget her sist. Jeg har vurdert å støve av denne kontoen for en stund som en del av et Toastmasters Pathways prosjekt for å administere en blogg.

Jeg har ikke mye å si. Jobben min er fortsatt den samme. I de forrige uke har jeg vært syk med brystinfeksjoner. Jeg tror det er på grunn av klimaanlegget hvor jeg ( Read more... )

Hey, nice to hear you're stil alive and kicking. How're things in the land of the long white cloud?

I attempted to learn Swedish as well, but although it sounds similar to Norwegian, the spelling differences are enough that I had trouble trying to remember how things were spelled in /both/ languages, so I'll just stick with Norwegian.

My partner has no desire to be vaccinated, but neither is he an anti-vaxxer. He also disagrees with the mask mandate, and the usage of contact tracing. It realistically can't be enforced, and he keeps his own log of where he's been; that's about the best I can expect from him.

Toastmasters is a not-for-profit organisation that focuses on giving people the skills and confidence to speak in public (or to groups, such as in a work environment). I've been a member for nine years in October. It's really made a difference for me - I've been the club president twice, the Vice President Education (which is the second in command, behind the ( ... )
