PS Carina, if you ever read this, thanks a lot.

When will we learn?

We like to think so much has happened in the past 100 years. I don't think so.

100 years ago a car was more fuel efficient than today.

100 years ago people died of KOL due to particles in the air. As today (the difference is we now have a name for it).

100 years ago people were slaved under a capitalistic, anti-democratic regime, whose only aim was to make the rich richer. As today (but now the tyranny has moved from a national level to an international level).

100 years ago international conflicts were solved using weapons. As today.

100 years ago the landscape was changed by man, ruining functional eco-systems and replacing them with industrial farms. As today (but now it has spread from Europe/USA to the whole world).


The worst thing of all: We learned so much the last time, about how it should have been done, but non of this knowledge is used today. But now it's not only about a part of the world anymore - it's about the whole world and the very existence of mankind.

Being a man

I've always been the little brother (even though I'm actually the big brother). People have always believed I'm younger than I really am and at the same time I have often worked with older people. So I have always been a little boy, in a sense, and liked that. When people have asked how old I am, I have always responded with "What do you think?" and got a guess 5 years younger!

Well, fuck that. I am a man, and I'm proud of it.

Yeah, I'm a man. I have gray hairs in increasing amounts. I have to epilate my back not to look like a gorilla. I have a bass tone competing with Elvis'. I love women. I did my military service. I was in the Swedish Sauna Masters' Final. I can kick your ass. I know how to please a woman. I know how to work. I look really good in a suit. There's nothing I couldn't build. I want to drive a Ferrari at 300 km/h. I want to rule the world.

But all that is just superficial bullshit, it doesn't make me a man.

No, what differs a man from a boy is that a man takes responsibility. He stands for his actions and views and he protects what he believes in and cares for. He doesn't hide, he doesn't wear a mask, he doesn't run away. He stands proud. Taking the consequences of his actions.

Amen

German efficiency

German efficiency is fuckin' myth! I've worked here almost 2 months and I still don't have a phone of my own. Two weeks ago I replied to a mail asking me to fill in a form. Today I called the guy and it turns out he hasn't done shit since! No, you see, he needs some other paper, he'll send a mail about that. In a truly efficient (or average Swedish) organisation he would have sent that mail like two weeks ago, wouldn't he? But no, he likes to see his paper piles growing, making him look really busy. He just sits there scratsching his fat arse until someone asks for something he should have already done. Then he'll pull out a lame excuse for his non-action and blame it all on that someone.

Exactly the same fuckin' scheme was pulled on me with the entrance card. I need to call the IT guy who said he needs 6 (six) (working) days (!!!) to fix my laptop and make him actually do something to meet his deadline (tomorrow).

Un-fuckin-believable
