Break

Today was my last day at my old job. It was heartbreaking. I know I'll meet my colleagues again, but it'll never be quite the same. It feels like I am moving out from home and everything that is familiar. I'll soon start my new job, but before I do so I need a break. And what's better than going to this place?

Winds of change


I quit my job this week, the one I never thought I would be able to leave, in exchange for another job doing something very different somewhere else.

I read this article from The Guardian just now.
"The most popular day of the week to quit your job is Monday (followed by Thursday). Friday is the least popular weekday to resign on"

Yup. Monday it was. But I am happy with my decision.

Golden Saturday



There's something about the things that were filmed in the 60's that makes me think about that decade as golden. Maybe it's just the fact that the pictures that dates from that time in general has more yellow in them, and that it makes everything looks warmer. Maybe it's because the pace was a bit slower, and everything just looks a bit calmer, more friendly, distant and dreamy.. And the fact that I never got to experience that time, since I was born almost 20 years too late.

Someone at work showed me this video on Wednesday, and the tune has been stuck on my mind since that. It makes the days seem more golden.. Enjoy your weekend!

Etsy fontpage

Nothing makes a quiet Sunday morning seem even better than dicovering that we made the Etsy frontpage on Friday. I like the different creations from this selection too. The color and the theme was really working.

Cheese commercial

This one cracks me up EVERY time it is on TV:

R.I.P

Jeg trenger et større kvanta rosa og blå baller av typen "stikkball" som rekvisitter til det ene programmet jeg jobber med. I dag søkte jeg på sidene til de store sportsutstyrforhandlerne, men fant ikke det jeg lette etter. Jeg søkte videre på google bilder, og brukte søkeordene "rosa ball", for å spesifisere søket, og kun få opp forhandlere fra Norge. Det første bildet som kom opp gjorde at jeg nå nesten har gitt opp å lete mer..


A little hard to translate this one;
Rosa Ball means Pink ball in Norwegian, and today as I was searching for pink balls to use for props at work, this picture was the first one to pop up in Google images.. and I sort of gave up on ever finding any pink balls.. I'm at least 60 years too late!
