I had to go to the company doctor (MD) for a checkup. The only interresting thing there was when she did a cholesterol check. My values were stangely a big higher than the average. So she asked me if I ate root(?) vegetables like beets and carrots. Sure quite a lot actually. Then she started a long monologue about how good for you the swedish(? not italian anyway) pizzasallad is. That the sallad is cabbage and vinegar, good fat! And bla bla bla…

I’ve now worked a week in the private sector and I am a little surprised about the lack of professionalism in some areas.

In the middle of the week I bougth a new couch. And since my car is not so big I ordered home delivery. I asked them if they could bring the couch late in the afternoon so I could work. But no, the only estimate of thime when I should expect them was “In between 1400 and 1800″. So I had to leave work around 1345 and then went home. And waited. And waited. And of course got annoyed. Damn I’ve got better things to do than just wait around.

When did the delivery come? Of couse 1750. Three hours of my life that got wasted.

Later that evening I sat down in my new couch and started to relax while watching Sweden play football against Turkey. Ten minutes into the game the doorbell rang. I went to open, and there stood a huge man that immediately and started to ask me questons about my apartment, where I came from, how old I was and so on.

I nicely said that I was watching football on the TV. “Ih, football. That’s boring.” He said. “Whos playing?” I nicely answered “Sweden - Turkey.” The the man said “Maybe I can come in and tell you about us?”

What the Fuck? I don’t invite strange huge men into my apartment. Whoever would?

- “No”, I said, “I can only focus on one thing at the time.”, I added and hoped that white lie would send him away.

But no, he started babbling about something and said that if I wanted to join his club it would only cost me SEK 100 a month and I would get good laywers and shit. I stopped his rambling with:
-  “Yeah, everything costs 100 SEK a month nowadays. But give me something to read and I’ll get back to you.”

- “No. We don’t have anything to read. You will have to decide here and now if you want to join.”

What the Fuck again. Bloody mafia.

- “I dont take that quick decisions.” I said and started to close the door. This scared the huge man who handed me a pamphlet and said I could look through that. I don’t really know what I said or did then but I closed and locked the door and went to see the rest of the game.

I had lived in the apartment for three days and it was the first evening I was home before 2000 when this man showed up.

So If you move to a rental apartment in Sweden beware of the Swedish mafia subsection: Hyresgästföreningen.

I’ve forgot my mobilephone some 200 km frome here the other day and I won’t get it before saturday. Son naturally all hell is happening around me at once. This is not fun.

Now I’m truly the guy that carries the world on his shoulders.
