And so it finally happened. I got an extension on my contract at the lawfirm which means I’m legally employed here until I screw up bad enough to get fired. At first I was employed on a quarterly basis, but then they decided to extend it to the end of the year and now I can finally rest my worried little mind about being unemployed. Not only that, I got a $300/month raise too. Merry Christmas!
(and everyone that knows me IRL are going “I told you!”, yeah, you did, but I’m the worst case scenario planner that I am I need to have it on paper!)
The other day I did something really, really bad. As I was driving a friend home along Huddingevägen (a road FULL of traffic lights all the way!) I accidentally drove against a red light. Those lights are always green except that one time and I missed it. The spontaneous reaction right after was “SHIT, I hope noone saw me?” since it’s one of those things you lose your license over. But after I drove home and through that same intersection again I realised just how badly that could’ve been. It was just pure luck that noone was crossing the road at that spot! If someone had followed the lights and crossed it I might’ve killed ’em! Even though I was doing slow 60 KPH, a car vs. human at that speed is not good. But that didn’t happen. And I still have my license. But after feeling like shit over how badly it could’ve gone I’m gonna be way more observant in the future.
Over the past three week’s I’ve migrated about 230 mailboxes from one mailsystem to another. And some small errors pops up here and there and I end up having to go through their mailboxes to find that one mail among thousands to see if it’s worth doing manually. And I’ve seen alot of fun stuff while doing it! Some fun legal things about company mergers that you wish you’d seen about a year ago but also some fun private stuff. I _accidentally_ saw a mail from a girls ex after they had just split up and man was he pissed! So even if it’s a really boring thing to do, those small things makes it worth it 🙂
