It's good to have those "reminders" in your mobile. You know those sounds you hear when the message or email arrives.
I gave a lift to Virpi to the work this morning and I was planning to have a cup of coffee in Ice Cream House, and already planning my next move to golf cource, when my mobile gave a sound in my pocket. It did not sound like an ordinary message, and it did not sound like an arriving email either. When I picked up the mobile I saw a "task" symbol. When I opened the expiring task, it said "Hae työpaikka!" (" Get a job !").
Even my mobile is giving me a hard time now; I did have my coffee, but I did not have me golf. Instead, I had 25km cycling to get all those unpleasant thinks out of my mind. It did worked out, I haven't applied any positions today either.
-77. The number always brings to my mind bands like The Clash, Sex Pistols, Damned... old good times.

Day 76
Cooking. I hate cooking.
Well, maybe the word "hate" is a bit strong. Let's say that I don't fancy cooking. It's been the same story for the last 7 years or so: I should decide what to cook today for me and the kids, and I'm so boooored to prepare the same food every week. I only know 4-5 different type of meal which to prepare. I know that there are many kind of cookbooks around, but I'm not keen of reading and learning. Even now, when I have plenty of time (as mentioned quite a few times in this blog), I don´t find it interesting enough to learn to prepare something new kind of meal(s). Instead, I will dig out some old potatos, sausage, eggs from the fridge, and mix them together, and shallow-fry. Nothing wrong with the content as such, when served together with salad, but I'm fed up making same type of food so often, and consider every single day "Mitä tänään syötäis".
Any help, anybody? Share some easy methods for cooking, nothing fancy but easy to go. Please.
And now Sirviö, look at the another direction but not down :)

Day 75
..exhausted.. I've been doing more exercise during last month than..ever.. or for years (and that's not much actually, but for my standard it's something more than driving a car for a destination which is just two blocks away, or .. watching telly even there's nothing on).
It's great to have a chance to walk, run, cycle or play golf, floorball.. and just because I have time. I remember saying that I'm too busy to do any exercise, when I was working. And it's somehow true: even though it's a priorisation issue more than anything else, you don't usually fancy to do things, which you are not too keen to do, or feels uneasy, if the time you have after work is limited. All that is changed as I would go nuts, if I couldn't get out of the house every day. I hope this feeling stays once I'm at working life again..

Day 74
Guess what I have been doing all morning?
I have been looking for a job via mol.fi and linkedin.com. I have also asked some recommendations from my ex-boss and updated my contacts and groups to follow in linkedin. I've been very productive! Now I can relax and just wait that those big companies are contacting me and offering a nice job for me. That was easy.

Guess what else I've been doing today?
I've been dancing -alone- around the living room in a beat of Suvi Teräsniska. I never thought to see that day coming.
But we have a wedding party coming on Saturday -not ours, but a friend of Virpi- and I kind of promised to dance with Virpi -and only with her- on Saturday.
I still have a lot to practise for, so better to stop writing.. ( I just would like to see those faces of our neighbours, if they see me dancing by myself.. Oh, luckily they all are decent people and working during this time of the day..)

Day 73
These Mondays are more restless than other week days. It took me awhile to settle down, after I had cleaned the house, visit the grocery store and cooking. Rest of the day I just downloaded games to my tablet PC and played more or less boring games.
I also downloaded a PC Magazine to tablet and it´s so handy to read magazines in an electronic format. Suits for me. I also have a local news paper only in electronic format, no paper magazines at all to this household. Apart from Aku Ankka (Donald Duck) as they don´t have an electronic format yet.
"Save the trees and save the world - use electronic format instead ... and nuclear power.." doesn't sound that good, does it.

Day 72
Sunday 26th of August
You can also spend your unemployment day in the school gym watching how youngters are playing floorball. That was my day. I played some floorball last night myself too, and I was so tired that went to sleep very early. Thus I did not update my blog immediately last night. Another reason being tired was our Saturday night Venetsialaiset as we went to sleep at 03 AM and woke up at 07.30 for floorball.

Day 71
Kind of celebration this also: "Venetsialaiset"; we celebrate the end of the summer in many parts of Finland, mainly in the west coast and south, not so much in eastern part I believe (correct if I'm wrong). Fireworks and carneval atmosphere is expected, and it's in Kirjurin Kesäravintola:

I would rather not to see summer to end, but when it does, let's do it in style:). Me and Virpi are joining the celebration tonight (after late Chelsea game). I'll update the blog with picture later tonight IF I can get some decent pictures. The weather is OK, not rainy, not windy, but the night will be a bit chilly like always during this time of the year.
