Worst Day Ever

Maybe not, but it was a crap start of the week at least!
I almost didn't sleep last night, and then I had to go to work.

2 hours in, and there was nothing to do, so I mainly stood half sleeping at the checkout desk.
Then I see this old lady, which I know are schizophrenic, and she usually steels. But last time she came she was really rather pleasant, so I didn't bother to check up on her regularly.

Then she started yelling at me because I was stalking her (which I didn't). Then she asked me if I had helped her last time and I nodded my head. Only for her to start screaming at me again, that no it wasn't me because I was younger or something. And then she started saying that we were all new people, and that she didn't want anyone of us to help her.

All of the other customers thought this was rather unpleasant, and many left. But I can't just start yelling at my customer (besides the fact that she's sick) so I just stood there and took it while smiling apologetically at the other customers.

Then she started to refuse to pay for the stuff she wanted and everything went downhill so I just picked up the phone telling the security guards come and pick her up.

I was so relieved when she left that I couldn't have explained it properly if I could. Because you get so angry, and can't show it, and deep down inside know that it's not only her fault because she's sick.

Hope the rest of the week turns out okay, but right now, I seriously doubt it.

Collage from Madrid

Better late than never, right?
My blog decided to shun me you see, completely shutting me out so that I couldn't log in. No idea why he decided to hate me so throughly. But I outsmarted him now, and decided to call him Blob. Just because he's stupid.

So here are a few carefully selected pictures from my trip to Madrid earlier this month.

This little kid reminds me so much of myself when I was little. We get along greatly, as you can see ;)

 My amazing travel toothbrush. I wish it mooed as well!

 Cool statue straight across the street from my window.


The whole trial clan on the way to the subway. 

We're probably the worst YMCA club ever x) But we do have loads of fun!

Dinner and drinks at Hard Rock Cafè

 
This thing looks like murky river water, but don't let it fool you! It's only my very tasteful Mojito!!


If you look closely you will see the most important shop. And straight across the street from our hotell! Nice :)

If you didn't see it it was Starbucks ;) these were some delightful mini muffins, the frappuchino disappeared. And I have some pretty great idea who took it!

Notice how he has no head? Everyone was like ooook? Then he started moving x)



Saturday evening we went to see the Trial indoors world cup. The red t-shirts, that's us! We were 30 people, and easily spotted x)

It was seriously cool, and for the first time in forever, I kind of wanted to drive myself.



Well that was it really, hope you enjoyed!

Norway or Spain?

Definitly Spain. I am sitting right now in the hotel room. In the middle of Madrid. Nice, right?
We are originally here to watch some world championship events, but that's not before tomorrow! So today we have planned shopping and sightsing. The weather have been nice, but I think there is a lot of clouds today, at least as far as I can see. Hope you enjoy your day and I'll try to blog tomorrow or after I come home on Sunday.

Hope you have a great weekend!

Holmenkollen World Championship

 So I've had a pretty amazing week. First I met up with the most gorgeous boy ever seen to mankind (I'm 99% sure of it). But I'll tell you about our pretty hilarious encounter some other time.

But this weekend was scheduled for me to go down to Oslo so that I could see the last ski jumping event. Team, large hill. It had been foggy almost the whole championship, but yesterday (saturday) there was a big bright sun and a never ending blue sky.


I met up with some old friends and some new interesting people. I was placed right behind the press people, on the icy cold shadow side. But I had loads of fun so it was worth it.

And right before the ski jumping started. Therese Johaug won the cross country skiing! So great to see her win and Marit Bjorgen on 2nd place. Amazing day for Norway. And Petter Northug won today on the 50 km! It's been a pretty awesome championship for us. And for Austria.

They seem nearly impossible to beat in ski jumping, but just wait boys, some day we will get you ;)
But they are the best right now, and have been this season.

This event though was a little bit amputated because of bad back wind. So there was only one round. And Austria won, but because of two good jumps from Tom Hilde and Anders Bardal we managed to get 2nd place in front of Slovenia on third.

I uploaded some pictures for you so that you have something to look on this fine evening.

Lots and LOTS of people. 




He's from my hometown! (Johan Remen Evensen) Whoop whoop


A happy Tom Hilde after his jump :)




A VERY happy Thomas Morgenstern after his jump x 2



And then I had a great great night! My amazing boy experience is next, I think maybe tomorrow?
