TIME TO GO NIGHTNIGHT
Short update here, 'cause I'm exhausted and I need to get some sleep. I don't think I've ever been this exhausted before in my entire life. I feel dizzy, every inch of my body hurts, it's hard to stay awake and at the end of the night I laugh at anything. Fun for me, but I think Tony's getting a bit frustrated about it ;p No, it's time to slow down.. and time to stop thinking so damn much!

I'm handing the keys to my appartment over to my tendant tomorrow. It's really wierd knowing that a complete stranger is gonna live in my appartment and use all my stuff, but at the same time it's a nice though knowing that someone else is taking care of it. One less thing to think about (and two more added ;p). I hope everything runs smoothly with this.. *chew fingernails*

Last week had a very good ending though - I reached my budget! My first month in the job, and I reach the budget (with a great deal of help from the ad-consultant!). They've never reached this budget before, so that makes it extra fun. And it gives me a whole lot of motivation to make the budget in november as well.

Also, I'm borrowing a car at the moment - and it's a beauty. If I'll end up buying a car this time? I have no idea. But I love this one. I want it, I want it, I want it.. ;D

RENTED
I put in an add this week to see if anyone was interested in renting my appartment - and I really didn't think anyone would for the price I was asking. I pay 6.000 NOK (1.086 USD) a month in rent and downpayment on my morgage, so that was what I was asking for. A "reasonable" price would be closer to 4.000 NOK, but since I have to pay 28% in taxes, I hoped I would get more. And I did. A guy looked at it yesterday and he wants it! I'm rather shocked about it, but really pleased!

I have my doubts about renting my appartment out. I could end up with someone who doesn't pay. I could end up with someone who trashes the entire place. I also have a big problem if things would blow up between Tony and me, 'cause then I won't have a place to live. On the other side, it's rather stupid paying for something I don't use. And when someone lives there, they at least take care of the appartment (wich I'm not at the moment).

The bad side about this is that I have a shitload to do the next week, seeing how I need to pack up all my stuff and clean the walls and ceiling in the entire place. If everything goes according to plan, he moves in on November 1st.

MAKING UP MY MIND
Right now I can't make up my mind about how I feel about beeing a netconsultant - some days I think it's great, other days I'm just frustrated. The other consultants tell me to be more patient though, that it takes time to build relationships with the customers and to get your own approach. So I'm taking their advice and I'm giving myself one year to decide if it's for me or not.

This is turning out to be a really crappy, crappy sunday.

WEEK #2
So far, so good. Still a bit unsure if this is right for me, but I'm getting the hang of it more and more at least. I'm even "unleashed" now and can pretty much do what I feel like it seems. Kinda nice, kinda scary ;p

Believe it or not - I actually wore the new skirt to work yesterday. Made me feel kinda stupid, but I guess it's just a habit. It didn't look all that bad though, strangly enough. I always think I look wierd when I try to dress up :)

I'm back on a diet. It sucks.

I THÅT I SÅW A PUDDYTAT

Dansi found a paper bag on the floor. That was fun for days!

Dansi's also pretty comfortable when she's close to Tony :)

&
Both Lassen and Dansi enjoyes a big ol' bag to have a nap in. Btw: the bags are the same size - shows how big Lassen is compared to Dansi :)

Hihi :) I left a newspaper on the couch one morning. When I came back, Dansi
had obsiously figured out that it was a good place for her to sleep :)

Lassen's having a lazy sunday ;)

HESITATION
Allthough I get good feedback on my performance in my new job, it only took me four days to get unsure if the job's right for me or not. I'm good at the administrative part, I know that, but the sales-part? I made a few calls today and it gave me a really bad feeling. If I can't change that into something positive, I have a problem. Not that I'm just gonna sit my ass down and give up right away, but it's not a good feeling. Not right now. But I'm not all that confident these days either, so. Shit happens! Still gonna try my best :)

I also got a call from my favorite ex-coworker today - the idiot stickfigure with no soul. It took me ten minutes to get her to understand something. She's just so god damn negative and when she makes up her mind that this isn't something she doesn't understand - she doesn't. No matter how easy it is. GOOD GOD I'm happy I'm done with her!

Trying to find a new pair of pants, a new pair of boots and a new jacket's a bitch by the way. *grr* I hate fashion today. Maybe I'm not good at beeing "up to date", but I find that most of todays clothes are but ugly. And they're not suited for anyone over size 2. Fuck 'em.

MISS NETCONSULTANT
I had my first day in the new job on monday - and so far everything is going great! I'm fitting in pretty good, I'm starting to get somewhat control on what I'm supposed to do and I'm really motivated to do a good job with this. I'm nervous about making contact with customers for the first time, but I might as well just jump into it. God knows I've got a lot of spots to fill.

The computer-guy was a bit frustrated with me today though, 'cause I've changed the computer around to the way I want it. For instance - I hate shortcuts on my desktop. I've also grown very comfortable with the XP-look of things. So when I "made" the computer my way, and he had to fix some stuff today, he made a few grumpy remarks about it. He changed it back, but so did I as well.

Ooh.. and that's a big plus.. I've gotten my own laptop ;p

In other news - we got internet installed at Tonys house today. Didn't take me many hours to move my computer over ;p It feels a bit better here after my computer "arrieved", but I still feel guilty over not beeing in my appartment. I'm hoping that will pass, 'cause if it doesn't I'm not sure what I'm gonna do.
