Day -85

I 'm pretty bored now-a-days. There's not much to do this time of the year and the job market is as dull as it has been, and will be.

So I've tried to find something to do, and today I went through old video tapes, you remember those VHS tapes we use to have in the era of "old good times"? I have couple of boxes of VHSs in the garage from 1980-1999. None of those had any lables thus I needed to check them all one by one. Luckily I found the video recorder also, which made me wonder how we ever have had patient to watch and rewind VHS tapes?

I throw away 90% of the tapes as a result. There were various titles like Dallas, ice-hockey, Band-Aid and other music, which I deny ever listening, Kummeli, kids programs and so on.

What next? C casettes? Where would I find a C player?

Day -87

Action rich day behind. Many useful and good things done.

Maybe the most interesting one happened during the long walk nearby. I met an elderly lady (over 75) and she looked pretty lost and helpless. She didn't have a clue where she was, but suspected to be near by her home. I asked her home address and after some time she remembered, but google map didn't find such a street name in Pori.

Then I enquired her name. She didn't remember that one either at first, but once she calmed down a bit I got it and called to 020202, but they didn't find that kind of name in Pori first, but she was now very sure about the name being correct one. 020202 put their act together and finally found the name from their records, suddenly there were too many names. I asked her age, but no luck. 020202 added 5 more years to stated one, and there it was; the street name was very closed to what the lady said at the beginning, but one character was wrong and stupid google map didn't recognized it.

Her home was about 1 km away and even I pointed the direction, she walked to wrong direction right away. So I decided to escort her. We walked very slowly and had some small talk during which she started to remember things better and I decided that no extra help was needed.

She has spent most of the her life in Canada (couldn't state which town ) and just moved back to Pori, and the area where she lived wasn't that familiar yet. Thus she got lost. Fair enough.

She didn't have a mobile or wallet or anything with her and I demanded her to take a mobile with her every time she goes out (hmmm, like I used to do with my kids some years back), and call her sister (who lives close to her home, she claimed) to inform the adventure she had had. She was denial and urged me not to tell her sister anything (like I would know her).

So, the lady made it back home and I hope she doing just fine now.  If she dies tonight because I didn't call any extra help.. shit.

Day -88

I haven't had any pictures lately. And you don't see any today either, cause there hasn't been anything to shoot. Just ordinary days without the hype.

Day -89

The day was sunny and crisp with a lot of snow thanks to the last night storm.
We checked couple of houses, but those weren't interesting enough.
There wasn't any interesting jobs in today's Satakunnan Kansa either, surprise.
And the house is still in the market, couple of enquires, nothing concrete.

Day -91

"
MTV3 Uutiset kertoi eilen marraskuussa työttömäksi jääneestä 57-vuotiaasta Hannasta (nimi muutettu), joka oli hakenut 47 työpaikkaa saamatta kutsua edes haastatteluun. Hän kokeili, irtoaisiko haastattelu, jos hän ilmoittaisi olevansa 35-vuotias. Kutsu haastatteluun tuli pian tämän jälkeen.
– Se synnyttää kuvan siitä, että tilanne on aika hirveä ikääntyvillä työttömillä, sanoo työmarkkinaneuvos Matti Sihto Työ- ja elinkeinoministeriöstä.
