Well, ain`t that just great..

Well, first of all, thanks to this lovely blog and google, I managed to send off my cv and coverletter with gmail displaying my name as `Champagne Cheeseburgers`.
So professional.
Cringe!

Well, not that much to report from today`s events,
yesterday I took Friday for her very first walk outside!
I think Friday will sum the experience up as..WOW!
So funny to see her reaction..she hid behind a bush for ages, so it looked as if I was standing there with a bush on a leash. But she walked around a little and looked really excited, so we will probably give it another try tonight or tomorrow. Pictures will follow.

Later went to engineering-guy`s place and made some chorizo and mozarella mini-pizzas and watched some more Modern Family and tv, as usual.
Not quite sure where it`s going, I am having my doubts, as usual..
Oh and I just love Gloria in Modern Family..we seem to share the same short-fused temper and double-chin..I just wish I could share her hair and figure instead..

That`s about it for now.

Episode 3: JOB OFFER - DILEMMA!

Well, I have this friend and former colleague who works in private aviation in Switzerland.
Back in October, she said I should try to get a job with her company, and so I got in touch with the cabin crew manager, went to Vienna for an interview, basically was offered the position, however, the woman left the company before I got a start date, and then my shoulder got really bad and I was signed off sick at work, and it all kind of died out.
Now, a few days ago my friend got in touch again and said that this time, there might be a vacant position on the jet that she works on, which would be perfect, and she has asked me to get back in touch with the company.
Back in October I was so excited about i all, but this time around, I am a bit undecided as to what I should do.
See, I don`t want to give up my job with my current airline, as it is really hard to get back in; they haven`t recruited since 2008 (I was the last person they recruited, actually..!), and I don`t want to lose my seniority, because I want to do longhaul in the future.
But, to be fair there are a lot of advantages with the private jet job;

14 days on - 14 days off = I could go on vacation once a month!
But what would I do with little Friday for 2 weeks at a time? I can barely stand to leave her behind for 24 hours!

Higher wages + as it is based in Switzerland, the income will be tax free = Enough said.

A lot more responsibility, variety, stress and challenges = I do feel as if I need a more challenging job, so this could be what I`m looking for, however, I don`t know how tough it gets.

Catering= well, I love my food and wine, so I guess the fact that I would be responsible for catering the flights, would also add that little bit of creativity to my working day, which is a big plus.

I`m really not sure what to do. The perfect scenario would be that I could get unpaid leave for about a year from my current airline, just to try this out. That way I would also get to keep my staff rate airline tickets..hmm..decisions, decision! And I am the most undecisive person I know!

Swap this..

For this?

EPISODE 1: RECAP

Well, today is Monday.
Mondays are shite, at least for those of us above the age of 6.
But see, today I realised, avoiding the monday morning blues is pretty simple!
Just sleep right through it!
That`s what I did today..I woke up at 2pm, slightly confused as always and for once, the sun was shining outside! Spring is definitely on it`s way!
But I guess it isn`t very good advice..I am only able to sleep through my Monday mornings because I am on sick-leave at the moment. And I have been for over 3 months now, thanks to problems with my shoulder. Long story, I`ll save that for another day.


But, let me tell you about my weekend!
See, for the past couple of months..no, years, actually, my love life has been pretty tangled up.
I have a tendency of being way too picky on the guys I meet, or maybe I`m just not meeting the right guys, I don`t know, but the past 6 months or so have been very complicated.
To make another long story short, I have managed to unintentionally break a few hearts and so my new year`s resolution have been to try to avoid that from now on.


Just before christmas, I broke up with accountant-guy after a huge discussion about a pack of bacon. Seriously.
A bit sad, but I guess I realised we are a bit too different. Or, I knew all along.
His idea of happiness is not to have too high expectations; that way you won`t ever be disappointed, he says.
My idea of hell on the other hand, is settling for average/ok/good. I want fanfuckingtastic!


So that ended. And in my usual way, I avoided heartache by deciding to stay single, but ended up moving on to the next victim, I mean potential partner for life.
I started dating IT-guy. It all started out good, we went on a spontaneous weekend to Japan, had fun. This guy is great. He is perfect boyfriend material in many ways; he would do anything for me. Way too kind, generous, caring, loving etc etc.
But I got a bit scared off when he got very serious very quickly.
By date 2, he asked me how I feel about having children.
By month 2, he wrote me a several page long handwritten love letter.
I don`t really know what my problem is, but something is missing. I see all his flaws instead of his advantages, and I can`t seem to ignore them!
So I told him earlier this month that I wanted some `time out`. I told him from the get go that I didn`t want to commit to him, and every time he asked if we could be exclusive, I told him I didn`t want to yet, but somehow he chose to ignore that (Not the first time that has happened..).
Now he is pretty gutted. He writes and says he misses me, doesn`t want to let me go this way, we have so many things and places to explore together etc etc..but I don`t think this is THE ONE, so I think I am doing the right thing by letting him go so he can find someone who appreciates all he has to give. Feel awful, I know how much it hurts, but I`m trying not to feel too guilty, as I have been honest all along and can`t help my feelings (or lack of..)! 


So, what do you think I did next? Are you keeping up?
Well, I somehow got another date!
Current guy is engineering-guy. First swedish guy I have ever dated, except from one idiot I briefly dated when I was a teenager.
I agreed to a date, and got really nervous, but the date went really well!
Our first date actually lasted a whooping 11 hours! Maybe I should be in the Guiness book of world records? 
I`m sure I hold a record in something. Failed relationships, long dates, amount of tops in my wardrobe with the pricetag still attached, no?
Back to the date.
As I am new in town, he suggested a place where we sat down for some nice cocktails and a chat. The chairs were huge, so I found it impossible to sit in it and look normal! Anyway, moved on from that to a Tapas restaurant where we had a meal, I managed to drop my cutlery to the floor with a big bang, very typical me, some beers and when the restaurant shut, it was pretty late, so the only places that were still open, were more club-kind of bars.
I couldn`t help myself, and suggested we go back to mine for some wine.
So we did. Except we had rum & coke instead of the wine.
And we stayed up until 6 in the morning, watching tv and just talking about random stuff! That`s a lot of talking!
Had to send him home in the end, when we both started yawning.




Anyway, this post is getting ridiculously long now, so fast forward;
cinema, food, film, tv, talk..
Which brings us up to present day, and my next post.
