Thinking Forward

Ah, what a great lazy Sunday. Just a trip to the store, forgot to buy more coffee, but still had enough for tonight at least. Maybe that means I can get up early enough to not stress tomorrow morning. We'll see. With my sleep patterns morning stress seems to be a normal thing these days.

Having a lazy Sunday has also given me some time to think forward though. What do I want to do? What do I do if the US government says no to allowing me to work there? Even if they say yes, there is quite some time left before I can actually move. I'll have at least one more Christmas vacation trip from the time frames that have been put forward.

I know I can do better than I do today. My current work, although I enjoy it, isn't where I want to end up. I can do better. How do I know? I've already turned down better. Multiple times.

Hoping to move, it wasn't the right time. It has shown me that I definitely have options though, which is good. The question I end up with is "where do I want to go?". Wherever I might go, or if I decide to stay in Ljusdal, it's not likely to be the final stop. Once Linda is done with her education I know Ljusdal is not likely to be the stopping place.

So, if I move to the US, it's still going to be quite some time in to the future. Relatively soon, but still some time ahead. And if I don't move to the US, do I want to stay where I am? The possibilities, to be frank, appears limited. I don't see much potential for progression, and as mentioned above, I know very well I can do better.

Oh well, I guess it's a moot point until I know for sure whether I'll be crossing the Atlantic or not. If that falls through, and the potential for progression here still looks the same, I guess the choice would be rather simple.

There, that was my random thoughts for this lazy Sunday. A bit disorganized I know, but it's not like I have to write a report on it ;-)

To end the entry, what has become my favorite "lazy Sunday song". Animal Tracks by Mountain Man.

Peace out

Holy Laziness Batman, an update!

So yeah, guess it was time to write something here again, wasn't it? Not much happening in the life of a lazy ass husband, so not much to update about really. But I'll give it a go anyway.

As you can see from my last update, there are some plans that need to be laid. I don't know if I'm going to move to the US yet, but I'm keeping my hopes up a bit at least. There is a huge IF in these plans, that is the move will only happen IF the US government wants to allow me to work there instead of the company hiring someone "local". But it's me, so how could they possibly refuse right? At least that's the mindset I'm going to have until I know better :-)

Besides the hopes of moving, there have been a slight change in "lifestyle". The nerdy lazy ass husband has started enjoying company with other people more. Still nerdy, still really enjoy relaxing with my own music and still have the same nerdy hobby, but I guess some people would say it's an improvement at least. I'm trying to become what is generally seen as a "regular" human being, boring as that might be ;-)

In other news, I'm still working too much. Last night I had Excel running until 2am. This of course led to me oversleeping this morning. Some day I'll take this transformation into a "regular" human being and include normal bedtimes as well. Have to take things in small steps though. There are limits to how regular I can become you know

To end this post, a little bit of sad news. At least for I consider it sad news.

May 20th, one of the few remaining "childhood heroes" of mine passed away. Randy "Macho Man" Savage. Not going to write much about it, but I recommend watching this very well put together tribute video from WWE, formerly World Wrestling Federation, where Macho Man was a huge star.



It is a shame he didn't live long enough to get his well deserved spot in the WWE Hall of Fame.
