Yes, Yes, Yes, Oh yes!!

Hell yeah!!!
Say congrats people cause this weekend I did it!
I am now a Skydiver for real!

I have my A-certificate!
Two jumps on Saturday with an instructor
and then three jumps all by myself on Sunday and that was it!
It was sooooo fantastic!!!
Now I'm just hoping my crappy ex-job pays me
before the weekend cause then I can jump some more =)

Oh, here's an update on the job situation too.

People say it's hard to get a job these days.
Ha! Not if you're me apparently. I've been unemployed
for maybe a week and a half and already I have a job, starting on Monday.
I also have an interview tomorrow with another company
(gotta keep your options open right??)
and a third company called while I was being interviewed
for the first job and left a voicemail.
I then got interviewed by that person on the phone,
still waiting to hear if they want me to come by for a real one,
but it sounded promising.
So maybe I'll get to pick and choose from potential jobs
instead of begging someone to employ me!!
Problem is...
I don't know which one I'd choose from these three.
What if I pick the wrong one!!??
Can't I just have two weeks at each job and then decide?
No? Crap.

Well, Well. At least I am a Skydiver now!!!!

The soap-opera of my small town...

So I'm back from my visit of la familia and before that
I engaged in a weekend of not skydiving,
crappy weather as usual...
I'm giving it another try this weekend...
It's always interesting to get the latest small town news
whenever I visit the family there.
It's like watching an episode of a really corny soap I tell you.
Here's a takeout of the plot.

My uncle, on my fathers side, his wife
passed away in her sleap about two and a half years ago.
It was all really tragic and unexpected, she was only in her fifties.
This of course left my uncle devastated and
since my family on my fathers side is pretty huge
we all pitched in and tried to be there for him.

Even my aunt (on my mothers side)
who had been close to his wife was there for him.
I think they actually supported each other,
since my aunt had a lot of problems with her ex.
That would be the abusive rat that unfortunately
happends to be the father of her twelve (or something)
year old son that she had finally
a couple months earlier left for good.

Anyway, they spent quite a lot of time together
and the classic scenario took place as it sometimes does
when two people get so close,
they fell in love.

At first they kept quiet about it
but when she finally told me I had already figured it out.
It was kinda obvious for us who knew her well.
Now, my uncle and his previous wife has three
kids from the ages of 26 to 30 something.
They were not happy about this,
and after a lot of drama which I'm not even gonna bring up here
two of them completely stopped talking to their father and still don't.
They accused my aunt of being a golddigger
(my uncle has a lot of money)
and a parasite which drives me insane cause it couldn't be further
from the truth and they should know this.
The oldest son has from what I can understand
accepted their relationship and I think they all get along quite okay.
That is until we learned that the wife of this son
is spredding lies about my aunt and badmouthing her behind her back.
And get this, she still has the nerve to
use my aunt for babysitting!!
How we found out about the lies?
Another uncle of mine (fathers side) heard her talking.
But he refuses to be a part of a confrontation
because he doesnt want any drama.
Well, maybe you shouldnt have said anything to begin with??
And also, she works at the first uncles office
(if you can call surfing the internet
when she should be doing her job working...)
and we now suspect she is stealing money from him.

So we have this on-going drama and here's
a bit more to add.

# Gossiping uncle who has a polish wife
who only talks about money, money money.

#A cousin who almost dropped out of high school
but did manage to graduate and is now going back
and forth to Germany buying huge amounts of alcohol
which he then sells illegaly here.

# A brother of mine who is completely addicted
to some computergame and becomes violent
when he is away from it for too long, or
when someone says something he doesn't want to hear.

# My grandparents on my mothers side who are full on drunks
and have always been. The grandmother is also bordering on anorectic
and I'm not sure but I think she's tried killing my grandfather
on more than one occasion.

Need I go on?? Trust me, I have more.
It's kind of interesting though, I actually used
to be the bad seed in our family.
Now as you can see we have quite a few who is far
worse than I ever was =P

It's nice to see my family but it just feels
so good to be back in the real world again.
Going skydiving tomorrow and for the rest of the weekend.
(I hope)

Party people, do a tequila-shot for me!

Would you hire me??

Not quite free of the cold just yet but I've decided
I'm well enough to go skydiving this weekend.
This time we'll be going to a dropzone
a bit further from where I live and there we don't have the restrictions
we do at the regular dz which makes my chances of completing
a few jumps so much higher...maybe I'll even finish my A-certificate!?
Fingers crossed as usual =)

There's really no point in me hanging around here anyway
since I'm officially unemployed now...
yep, thursday this week
me and the girl I work with quit our jobs and just left.
It's been a long time coming since the company I work,
well guess "worked" for
hasn't been doing to well the last couple of months.
I did think for a while that things would improve
but at the end my boss was starting to turn our office
and my work assignments into something
I wasn't prepared to go along with.
He did say he wanted me to stay but listen to this, he couldn't guarantee
that I'd be getting paid for the work I'd be doing!?? What, did he think
I'd want to work for free?? Don't think so!
So we just left. And now we've contacted our union so they'll make
sure we get our final paychecks.

I'm not worried though. I feel confident I'll get another job soon enough.
But until then I'm gonna enjoy having a little free time.
Next week I'll be visiting my family in the small town.
Figure I'll stay there for a couple of days, free food is always nice =P
Don't think I'll stay too long though, my family usually gets
on my last nerves even when I'm only there for a weekend.
And besides, I have a hot guy here I can't stay away from too long.
The guys in the small town...not to eager to see them.
A lot of exes and a lot of drama...
I'm thinking I'll just stay in my familys house
and just not go out at all.
That really feels like the safest bet.
Have a great weekend and drink a couple of vodka shots for me too!

Someone hates me...

Well, no skydiving this weekend =(
Crappy weather in combination with a lot of new students
scheduled to complete their 1 level jumps made me
stay home instead of going to the dropzone. But next weekend
we are all going to another dropzone that thankfully don't
have the restrictions that our DZ has. I plan
on making 3-4 jumps and if everything goes well I might
even complete my A-certificate!! But
just to complete aff levels 6 and 7 would make me very happy.

I did however get to spend some more time
with my skydiver. I think I'm really starting
to like him...and it scares the crap out of me to be honest...
But I'm trying to ignore that feeling...for now.

He spent the night here and we both took the
same tram to work/school.
The lack of seats left us standing and after about
10 min it was getting very crowded in there
and I suddenly started feeling very dizzy.
Everything started spinning and I couldn't see straight
so I sat down against the wall waiting for it to go away.
It did...while I was down. Everytime I tried getting up
it took a few seconds and once again I felt like I
was gonna pass out. Pretty sure I freaked out mr skydiver a bit.
Hell, I was freaked out, it was scary!
Finally a lady offered me her seat
since she could see I wasn't feeling to hot.
By now I thought it had passed and after making
sure I could manage on my own my skydiver
left me at his stop to get to class.

I kept going for a few stops but I only got worse
and when I had made it almost to work
I realized I had to go home again.
Did I mention it takes me an hour to get to work
and therefore an hour to get back??
It felt like it took forever to get home again.
But when I did, I crashed on my couch and slept
until late afternoon when I woke up with a nasty cold
and a head that felt like a bowling ball.

Guess I'm sick. Again. Great.
If my memory isn't too shitty
I seem to recall it wasn't that long ago
since the last time I was sick.
Tnx a lot.What did I do to deserve this??
Be back when my head stops pounding,
my nose isn't running and I don't
look like someone who has been dead for weeks.
I have a bottle of vodka at home.
I'm thinking of downing it just to see if it will
kill all the bad shit in my system.
I mean, a hangover has got to
be nicer that this, right??

See ya.

Some valuable life-lessons from me to you.

# Why running to avoid missing the bus is a bad idea.
While running, your phone could accidently fall out of
your pocket without you noticing. You could then proceed
to panic on the bus when noticing it's gone and force the busdriver to stop
the bus after going 1 ½ stops. I'm pretty sure he thought I'd lost
my mind but no, just the phone.
Thankfully I found it on the parkinglot but
I was then forced to stand in the cold (yeah, it's cold here now)
and await the next bus...
I hardly ever run to catch the bus, mostly cause
the shoes I normally wear arent really meant for running
but this time my co-worker forced me.
Lesson learnt, next time she can catch that bus
while I walk slow enough to catch the next one instead.

# Why giving your lover/boyfriend/date or whatever
the spare keys to your place is also just a bad idea.
Did my laundry last night and since I don't trust my
neighbours, (washing mashine's at the bottom of the building)
after loading the machines with laundry I put
a padlock on the door and then went back upstairs.
After an hour I went back there and was just about
to open the lock when I froze up.
The key, the only key to this lock, it wasn't on my keychain.
Any guesses on where this key was??
You should have figured it out by now.
On the keychain I gave to him, there it was...
I knew it was a bad idea him having those stupid keys!!
Since he was a a coctailparty (some student thingie)
It took me over an hour to go get the key.
By that time I could forget about using the dryer
so now there's wet clothes and bedding covering practically
my entire apartment.
He only gave me the key to the padlock though,
and kept the other keys, smart boy huh?
But since I later woke up due to a hottie
crawling into my bed, I'd say it's okey that he has them...for now.

Oops, better get back to work now.
Later!

5 down, 5 to go!

Ok, been a lazy blogger this weekend.
Here's the update. First, skydiving-business.
This is for you Mark, since you're clearly not interested in hearing
about anything else but the lovemaking to the sky =P

Jump #5 completed!!
I was supposed to have made two jumps on Saturday
but the weather took a turn for the worse before it was my turn
so they cancelled it. But still, at least I got to jump out of the plane once.
Since it had been about a month since jump #4
I have to admit I was a bit nervous which I'm usually not.
But as soon as I had left the plane
and once again found myself soaring through the sky
it was all good. It all came back to me and it felt great!
I messed up a bit with the landing though
and had to land at an alternative landingfield.
That's kind of become my thing, I'm quite the expert
at landing outside of the actual field...
But I still passed aff level 5 without problems
according to my instructor.
Would have loved to complete level 6 as well, in that one
I get to dive out of the plane and then proceed with 2 backflips!
Can't wait!!
Fingers crossed for good weather next weekend!!
I'm so close to having my A-certificate now!!

Since Mr Skydiver just started studying in august
and will be the victim of the student hazing for the next month
he didn't join me to the dropzone this time.
I went there alone but of course I wasn't lonely.
The dropzone was loaded with hotties!
It's really nice sometimes that us girls
are a minority at the dropzone.
Especially when you're packing up your chute after having jumped.
(I absolutely hate this part!!)
All you have to do is look a little helpless
or maybe just even bored for a few seconds
and all of the sudden you have more than one of these
boys packing up your chute for you
and flirting shamelessly in the progress.
I know, I'm bad and will eventually have to learn
to do this properly myself but I just didn't feel like it this time!
And it's good to know you don't always have to =P

Sunday I was suppose to go to the dropzone once again
but as I mentioned the weather sucked so i stayed home
just doing nothing all day.
While I was doing just this, nothing
the doorbell suddenly rang followed with the turning of keys
and Mr Skydiver standing there all surprised to see me.
He thought I'd be at the dropzone and had
just stopped by to grab his bag full of books for school
that he had left there earlier last week.
Don't really know if I like him having keys to my place...
Sometimes it's good, like tonight when he's
sleeping at my place but will probably
be quite late due to the hazing. That way I don't have to
make my way downstairs and let him in the building.
But I'm not sure I'm up for these surprise visits just yet.
Sure, he didn't mean to drop in uninvited,
he did think I wouldn't be home but still.
Maybe I'll just steal back my keys tonight, we'll see...

Okey, reading through this I realized it was all
kind of skydiving related.
But I really don't have anything else remotely interesting
to write about so there you have it!

Later!
