One of the coolest jobs in Sweden has got to be person planning state visits in Stockholm. Right now we have an international delegation here in Stockholm, spearheaded by Condoleezza Rize, to talk about the Iraq issues (as if there’s any new issue there, it’s getting really old!). And how cool is it to sit in a comfy office chair with a layouot of greater Stockholm and plan what parts of the town to shut down, what roads to block, how many hundreds of police to put where! It’s gotta be great cause no matter what, everyone, and I do mean everyone (short of the military) just falls in line and do whatever you can come up with! Even the thousands (and I was there so take my word for it, it was thousands!) of people stuck in the morning rushhour traffic when they blocked off a few blocks in Stockholm city because their motorcades where leaving, and we all just put up with it!! And they even opened up the emergency roads that are suppose to be used for ambulances, police and firedepartment, not a problem! That one day I had decided to take the car to work cause I was going to Ikea straight after and it took me 2 1/2 hours to get to work when it usually takes me 1/2 hour.
That has got to be the coolest job! Just saying “let’s block off Klaraberg at 7-9 am” and noone there to tell you “dude, that’s gotta be shit for thousands of people driving to work!” or “technically that road is only for code 3 response vehicles…”
