Annoying employment office and lovely visit from family!

Had such a lovely visit this Wednesday, you wouldn't believe.... But first things first!

I was working during the day Wednesday and it went very well. :-) I am getting more and more hours, witch is off the good, I'd say. And I did have a really good time. They gave me even more hours next week, wohoo!

After that I had to go down to the employment office. And that sure as hell put a dent on my good mood, let me tell you! Gawd damn! I was told I should look for another job, since I am not working 100%. I was told that if I wanted to cash out the last 8 days of cash from the unemployment fund, I need to say no to work. Which, btw, I am not allowed to since then I can't get cash from the unemployment fund. Yeah... makes perfect sense to me to. Oh, and since I have no days left to get cash from the unemployment fund, I am going to get something called "activity support" from the Swedish Social Insurance Administration. To get this "activity support" I need to be "active" 100%. Meaning that I need to get a new trainee job. I just starred at the guy telling me this, like he was growing two heads. I am having a job at the moment. Not 100%, and very random, but I have a JOB! No worries, the idiot says, you can be at a trainee job the days your not at your job. I might not work full days all days, I says. No worries, the idiot says, you'll just have to go to your trainee job after you finished your regular job. But you need to be active either with your job or a trainee job, so you are active 40 hours each week, 100%. How the hell that is going to work out, I have no fucking idea. But it sounds fucking insane. I mean, seriously, WTH? I don't even.... *groan* *puts head in hands*

To say I lost a good chunk of my good mood there would be an understatement. But it soon lifted because when I got home I managed to FINALLY read up on my f-list! Wohoo! All caught up now. It just took a week. :-P X-D

And then, finally... My aunt and her family showed up. And I could finally, FINALLY give Ella-Bella a hug IRL. It was so, so good to see her again after a whole year. My aunt and her family are like my extra-family, you know? So I care almost as much about my cousins as I do about my own brother. They are my extra-siblings. So, of course I have been worried about her being away at the Maldives for a whole year. But she is doing fine. She is getting promoted all the time. Gotten a prize for best employee. Flirted with boys/men (no surprise there). And generally living a brilliant life there. I am so fucking proud of her, you have no idea!

We had a lovely evening just talking. And all five came to visit to! A rarity in and off itself making it the more special. :-) Very proud of Josse to, since she has been promoted as well. She is now the bar manager at the pub and restaurant where she works. :-D To imagine she started out picking up the dishes there.... Good work, says I!

They stayed quite long to, and we talked and discussed a ton of things plus watching some TV. :-D

Then Thursday, I worked all day. Since all the librarians were at the Book Fair in Gothenburg, I was responsible for the whole library. It was me and another temporary librarian there, leaving me in charge. It went brilliantly and we got a lot of work done. But damn, it was a busy day.. SO MANY KIDS! The library where I work is a joint library, used both by the public and by the school in the same building, so yeah... A LOT of kids that day. So, I couldn't really sit down until after lunch. And not during long moments after lunch either! Damn, my feet hurted after that, let me tell you. And my stomach muscles felt like I had done 100 sit ups or something leaving them muscles a bit sore... I was so drained when I came home! But in a good way, in that I had actually been doing a good work that day. :-)

Today we have just lazed around. Got my hair cut (very needed) and bought birthday gifts for my brother and his wife, but thats about it. :-) Tomorrow will probably be a lazy day to. I think I need that. :-P

Your unemployment and government regulations make about as much sense as ours. :/

You mean not at all? :-P Yeah it is just.... Stupid. And the interesting thing is that the government is telling us that these rules are to encourage people to get jobs and better jobs.... Yeah. Right.
