Nick Runarsson is just fine. His life has taken a sharp turn and today his life is a contrast to the life he had a couple of months ago. Nick has gotten a 'real' job, first one since Emerson Energy took their stuff and moved to China 2002(!). Since then his life has been coaching classes, shitty "activation jobs" and so on, for scrap money. The last one was a one he enjoyed, at the municipality's Economy Department... as application developer and local computer support. He did his job so good so they didn't want his "activation bosses" to move him somewhere else... and they hired him and put him in the role of super user in two of his municipality's biggest IT projects. From the mud and up into the clouds... just like that. A long time of unemployment can truely chew down ones self-confidence. "Noone wants me. Maybe I'm not that good after all." It also made a difference in his paycheck, that's around 150% of the one a couple of months ago. The first one came in the end of September... almost by the time the lightning struck and killed his backup computer. His main computer had already crashed and he was back on the "backup-backup". But now it wasn't a disaster, and a week later he had a new one that he absolutely loves... a Lenovo notebook... and now he can work lying on the sofa. Yep. That will have to be the negative part about his job. It's all on servers he can access from home... and time has showed several times, that he often enjoys his job a little too much for his own good. But this time he at least has the children who constantly disturb him. LOL The bicycle accident was nothing. A few days of limping and then he was back. The police didn't surprise in their decision either. Since everything else seems to be going his way, of course she was to blame for the accident too. So next week he will get even more money... which will come nicely timed to his "Swedish Invasion" trip to New Jersey in November. (The theme of this year's International Fly-Tying Symposium: 'How <http://www.internationalflytyingsymposium.com/fromthedirector.html> Swede It Is'.) No, nothing wrong with Nick Runarsson. Today he's the last one to worry about. :o) /Jester
