Though the year started pretty bad, it soon turned around thanks to a special friend that helped me through some boring things. But after that it really took off, I had some boring courses in school but they didn't present a whole lot challange so I spent most of my time at home working on a software project. Then I also thought about the economy and decided that it's gonna crash soon (this was in march) so I better get a job. And after a while I finally got around to apply for one, and I got it It was only a 2 week gig as a QA at Configura. But after two weeks they wanted me to stay another two weeks

After that the special friend recomended me for a QA job at Opera, so there I got my first real full time job. I started in the middle of the summer so I had quite a lot to do in the beginning as most people were on vaccation, but when they got back I didn't have anything to do, which I found really booring. But some how they liked me and what I did cause I got promoted and now I get to do some really cool things (imo). And basically there I am now, with a inbox full of things I need to take care of and I'm basically married to my work, but I don't think there's any way that I could be happier.

So I started getting ready yesterday, packed my gear and went to bed really early... Cause I had to get up 2 hours before sunrise today, and today the night and is equally long so the sun rose at 6 a.m, which ment that my cel phone woke me up at 3:45 a.m., that's pretty early by my standards... Since it's the first time with my new gear it took me quite a while to get ready and ride my bike out to "my" place. So when I got out there, you could already see some light at the horizon, which meant I was a little to late, but it was good since I didn't have any flashlight and to set up my hide without it would be somewhat troublesome.. I spent almost two hours out there, got a couple of good shoots, but it since it was mostly a testrun I'm quite happy with the results. And it was -7 C out there, and that's not really that cold, but since I don't have proper winter shoes, -7 is freakishly cold...

Todo list for next time:

- Get a flashlight

- Turn the hide the right way (It was so dark today so that I turned it the "wrong" way and had to shoot through the back door)

- Reconnoitre the area better (The lagoon where I thought the birds would land was covered with ice..)

- Get proper shoes..

- Get a car (Biking with 20+kg equipment at 5 a.m. is kinda tiresome)

Gonna post some pictures soon..

First they, the doctors, supposedly knee-specialists said, "Oh, that's no problem, it'll grow away", but it didn't. Then they, and it's the same they, said "Oh, that's no problem, if you just do these exercises it'll go away", but it didn't. The last time I had a talk to them, about a year ago they said "Well, you'd better sit still for the rest of your life". And I'm TWENTY THREE years old!

This time I really thought I was on to something good, been doing my rehab training for almost a month, meticulously, and it's been good for almost two weeks now I think. But then tonight it said "I'm gonna shit on you" and now I laying here with a pain that makes me wonder if the knee is still there. The only good thing with this is that I know that the pain will go away, probably tomorrow..

I know I should go and have it checked out again, but let's just say I've lost my faith that they'll be able to do anything about it... But I'll see on monday, if it's not better by then I'll give it a try..

The only good thing coming from this is that I'll be able to watch the formula 1 race from melbourne, it starts in about an hour... (It's like 4:29 am here now)

And as far as the two previous issues, no change there, But I guess it's kinda naiv to believe that anything will change... Gotta send a thanks out to my friends, the real ones, the ones that keep me sane... THANKS!

But now onwards to more recent "issues". I should be happy nowadays, and I am. Things have really turned to the better, there are four reasons for that, and one is the spring. But there are two things that are wetting on my charcoal. And they both involve communication, or rather the lack of that thing.

I'll keep this very general, I don't want to point any fingers, but some of you may get what/who I'm talking about.

First we have this person, a very nice person if you ask me. This person suggested that I may be a happier person if I did a certain thing. So I followed the advice and indeed I became happier, and all was good until the person started to ignoring me for doing just that thing. That is not nice.

Second we have two people, they have taken this lack of communication to the ultimate level. Well, they don't speak to each other, and are trying to use me as a messenger between them. Even though they have both been told that I'm sick of that and that I don't care why they're not talking to each other. That is not nice.

Last but not least, I feel that decision-time is coming, and I'm clueless about what to do. I really am, but I can guess how everything will turn out in the end. The same way it has always turned out.

If you're still reading I feel sorry for you, because I've probably just stolen a couple of minutes of your life, and you'll never get them back, haha!

(On another, completely different, note I really need to improve my English, there are so many things I like to say but I just can't find the right words)

First I've met a new friend, really exciting You've all already seen her, since she's down there to the left.. It's nice to meet someone completely new, with a whole other perspective on things. And she comes from a great place, the same place as I . We grew up in the same small village outside Umeå, we went to the same school and played in the same sport-teams, but she's younger than me so I've never seen her before..

Second, I got a really strange but nice compliment earlier this week. My sis was taking to one of her friends about spending time with their brothers, and her friend said: "I'm happy with meeting my brother twice every year", then my sis replied "Why, I could be with my brother every day", and then he replied "Yeah, me too, if your brother was my brother too"...

Soon my enormous Easter-vacation will begin, 3 weeks without anything scheduled, except hockey play-off. Which will be great, the play-off, I'm afraid that the vacation could get boring but I'm planning on redoing my website and I've got som software that screams "I want to be developed".. and the bird season is about to begin for real..

And I'm really really looking forward to the play-off, it's the best time of the year here in Sweden...

I'm not sure why but for some reason I feel really happy, I think it's because the weather has been really nice the last couple of days, I've so got to move to a place where the sun shines more often than Linköing.. (Australia maybe? )

Oh, and one last thing. Apple must hate me so much right now, two weeks left of my extended AppleCare and I my hd brakes down so I get a brand new . I think that I've got a completely new computer during the last year, new system board, memory, one fan and now the hard drive.. But still I think I'll buy a new one soon, now that they've updated the McB pro, but I can't afford to get extended applecare on that one.. But I'll be more gentle to it, my current looks like it's been in destruction derby or something..

(Haha, I just realized I'm doing the exact same things as the last time I wrote here, except now I'm reading about ISO9000-3 and not some stupid math)

Haven't had a chance to put it to a real test yet, but it seems like the af is a lot less nervous now. I really hope everything works now, because I had to use my 30D and my 350D this week, and don't get me wrong they are really competent cameras. But once you've got used to the 1D feel, you don't want to change back, it is just better in every area.

Even though it kind of reeks that Canon released the camera even after beta-testers reported the problem I must say that their service for us who have sold our souls to then was pretty good. I could chose the date for the service so it would fit in my schedule and the whole thing to 4 working days, and if you subtract the time it was being transported the fix it self took only one day. And I got a got a 2 gig cf-card for free and that's always nice...

Anyway I'll be of to Stockholm this weekend, gonna relax and shoot my nephew and niece playing hockey and ringette so I guess I'll get to try the camera then.

On another subject, this week have been one of the most boring of my life I think. Being home, alone and doing school work all day, is not very funny. So I hope I don't drag my friends down into the "boring-hole"

These are not to be considered my best pictures, I just did a quick selection of some shoots I liked this evening.. Hope you enjoy them..

]]> ~sjooons http://sjooons.deviantart.com/journal/16490652/ http://sjooons.deviantart.com/journal/16490652/ Sun, 20 Jan 2008 13:14:50 PST ). So when the pictures after the pictures are sent/uploaded/published I don't want to touch them ever again. I don't mind watching them, and analyzing them to get better for the next shoot. But redeveloping them to publish here..........

So if you want to see some sports pictures
there is only one place to go [link]

My unhappiness has nothing to do with this post, it's just in general..
