My little Superstar..
...BUT...
Already since we left the house in Örebro, Dante behaved very nice. No pulling. No barking. When we came to the train, he literally jumped on the train and just followed people in front of us untill we reached our seats. Then he just sat down, looked at me for a while and then laid down to sleep. He was calm all the way to Stockholm. In Stockholm he did not pull at all and he did not bark at all. When I had to go to some shop and Katka held him outside, he was sitting calmly just looking around. The way to Örebro was very similar to the way to Stockholm. He jumped on the train and except of a small incident with another dog (they exchanged some barking) he was calm calm calm till we came home. I was just amazed. So amazed that I went to shop and bought him Fish fingers he likes so much and gets only for birthday.
And that´s not the end of the story. This was about his bahaviour. Now I should mention behavirour of the others. As soon as we entered the train he cought attention of all the people sitting there already. You know the faces of people sitting in the train. They are far far away in their thoughts, thinking of the destination, reason of traveling, counting minutes etc. But when they saw Dante, they started smiling =) We have heard "what a sweet dog" from all the directions. And in Stockholm he hypnotized several people passing by. One woman almost forgot where she was going when she saw Dante. She stopped and was pulled to him like by magnet. Then she woke up of the trans and really (I am not exegerating) turned 360 degrees around to find out where she was and went. At least 100 people smiled at him. He was a Superstar =) He is a Superstar!
And I am very objective. Katka can prove it!
And the story continues...

Without a common part of our lives
At 09.43 a.m I heard "Aaaa!" from Maja´s office. At the same time my computer turned off. Light switched off. Music stopped playing. Out of blue we were without electricity. Scouts sitting in the conference room have not noticed anything and continued their meeting with their laptops. No clue about the situation. Maja came to my office. "What are we going to do now? Should we have a tea?" Hmmm... and how? We kind of need warm water for that =) I went downstairs there some people also noticed a sudden change! We looked out, workers from the company opposite to us appeared. All of a sudden lots of people outside in an area where u hardly see a person. =) Hihii..all of them shocked. What will we do now? When it comes to me..All my application writing was kind of interrupted. I had free time just for myself =) It did not last for long, just few minutes, but it was nice =)
First...
Good news for environment
But back to the article. It was about the latest success of scientists who invented a pill for cows. The pill "converts the cows into environment friendly elements" (exact translation). The thing is that cows produce such amount of methan that contributes by 4% to the global warming. So the pill will help to produce less gas and more milk instead. The elements of the gas will also contribute (with the help of the pill) to production of glucosis (sorry for spelling).
I also think (my "scientific" approach) that eating less meat and animal products would also help. So hey..non.vegetarians, eat them all for good and then start with soja. It is very mnami!
My life with volunteers
After we have come to the office in the morning.
Maja asking: Do u wanna tea?
Kristina: Yes, please. Roibos.
Maja: Which one?
Kristina: Roibos. Hmm..yes Roibos.
...
after 2 minutes when the water has boiled.
Maja: Which kind?
Kristina: ...
Maja: Aha!
International day for eliminiation of racial discrimination
Today is the International day for the elimination of racial discrimination
I am giving 10 points (out of 10) to my favourite radio because they are talking about it the whole morning and they are bringing interesting facts.
I also googled a bit. Nice nice things online. For example this one about the concept of Race.

New haircut - second try

Springtime - bring it on
Today is officially the first spring day (astronomic spring) Yuhuuu! But in commercial world the spring arrived in the frist february week when the picture was actually taken (8.2.2007, Örebro).
And Oscar goes to...
They are young, they do not care.
There are several reasons for me giving an award: worth of erasing to this statement:
1. I do not thing that a word "young" should serve as an excuse for not caring about what is going on around.
2. I do think there are many young people who care
3. By saynig this, we create a general belief that young people do not have to care because they are young. They they do not have to resist a group pressure because they are young. That they can do stupidities and do not have to take responsibilities because they are young and they will mature one nice day.
The jury´s (my) decision is based on a conversation I have had with a friend today, who told me that he had drunk a lot when he was younger. I asked "why" (of course). He said: "I was young. I did not care. Young people do not care" (expressing it as a general law of physics). Yeah..if everybody says so and accept it as an excuse, of course youth won´t care.
Weekend with Friends...
I spent the weekend with friends and Friends. Preparatory team of the seminar in Croatia had meeting in Örebro so i got to meet some nice faces. Some of them old friends (younger than me though ;-)..hihi) some of them new (also younger than me..hmm) and really really nice.
Except of plalnning, being together outside and talking, we were watching Friends as well. Oh..have I mentioned that my dvd collection of Friends has grown again? Now i have three seasons. Yuhuuuuu!!!!!
New function needed...
There could be a "sensor" or smth which indentifies a phrase "see the attachement" or similar and alert me before the email has been sent in the case the attachement is missing. Hmmm..I would like that!
Another solution would be to be little bit more concentrated when I am sending the emails.
Tusen tack till...!!!

Yes or No?
JT recommended a website where one could express an opinion about decrminilizing illegal drugs: http://www.ireland.com/head2head/
So I checked the page and read arguments for and against. I was "amazed" by the words of Seán Cassin (chairman of the Drug Policy Action Group) who was for decriminilizing:
"The experiences of millenniums of human civilisation seem to support the human rights view of drug use. We have been using intoxicants as far back as 3000BC when the Sumerians discovered poppies to make opiates and painted the flower on their cave walls. Despite the toxic threat, we use drugs to excite and delight, to expand our minds and find deeper meaning or simply to make our otherwise drab existences a bit more endurable.
Making us criminals for this is disproportionate, and simply adds to the drabness".
I can only say that drugs make us lazy. If we are able to do things under the influence of a drug, we are able to do them without them as well. Drug is a shortcut after which comes an obstacle...
