Speaking of…●8


… a strong finish to the year

I just finished my temp this week.

November has been pure death, so stressful my ears have literally been ringing… (see, that’s what you get for playing Santa’s little fairtrade helper…) - actually to the degree where I was almost glad that there won’t be any chances to continue there next year.

However, the last 2 weeks have been generally nice. We caught up with the workload, stress decreased and there were a lot of christmas parties both for the whole office and the separate departments. Friday was the day where we rounded everything up, with a xmas party at the warehouse (where I’ve been spending most of my time the last months). The salesdep arranged ‘pick’n'pack’-games for the colleagues from fundraising & communication, had pizza and wine and a lot of good conversations and giggeling.

In the middle of this, T - one of my closest colleagues, a guy in his 50’s, looks up this classic Swedish song with my name in it - The dream of E - on youtube and hands out the alternative lyrics he had written the night before, and makes everybody join in in my serenade… I was blushing but truly touched!

A pretty good way to say goodbye, huh!
