3 hæsblæsende dage


har det været at have besøg af Henrik, Lene, Mathilde, Ida Marie og Christoffer. Men også tre rigtig dejlige dage fyldt med positiv psykologi, solskin, karameller..., dobbeltdækkerbusser, undergrundstoge, langt travende børn, Nintendo Wii og masser af kultur!

Undertegnede havde det med at blive væk... og nedenfor kan ses, hvad jeg så oplevede!!

America has got Barack Obama, Johnny Cash, Bob Hope and Stevie Wonder where as England has Gordon Brown, no cash, no hope and no bleeding wonder

Credit Crunch - if lucky enough to hold on to your job this is what you are likely to find...











NEW OFFICE POLICY - EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 1, 2008

Dress Code:

1) You are advised to come to work dressed according to your salary.

2) If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we will assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise.

3) If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a raise.

4) If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a raise.


Sick Days:
We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

Personal Days:
Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturdays & Sundays.

Bereavement Leave:
This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers. Every effort should be made to have non-employees attend the funeral arrangements in your place. In rare cases where employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled in the late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and subsequently leave one hour early.

Bathroom Breaks:
Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door will open, and a picture will be taken. After your second offense, your picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under the 'Chronic Offenders' category. Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sectioned under the company's mental health policy.

Lunch Breaks:
* Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more, so that they can look healthy.

* Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure.

* Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.


Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide a positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternation and input should be directed elsewhere.

Forældre i ét årti








Dejligere pige findes bare ikke. 10 år er der gået, siden hun holdt hele barselsafsnittet vågen den første nat i hendes liv - alt sammen fordi hendes blodsukker var lavt, og hun var sulten. Det er hun stadig... altid!! Men hun er også meget mere end det. Hun er det, man her kalder en tough cookie: Hun lader sig ikke så nemt slå ud: allergi, eksem, astma, gentagne flytninger ml. Danmark og England, nye kammerater, nyt sprog, ny kultur, ny skole. Therese er, i vores øjne, en gennemgående positiv pige med gå-på-mod i utømmelige mængder. Hun elsker fodbold, har masser af venner, klarer sig godt i skolen og er for det meste hensynfuld og god ved sine medmennesker. Alt dette og mere til elsker vi hende for - ikke mindst hendes fjollethed, hendes humør og frækhed. Bare en skøn pige, som vi er stolte af :-))

Den runde fødselsdag blev fejret af to omgange: Først fodboldfødselsdag i parken med een pige samt 8 drenge fra klassen - og det blev spillet for at vinde... - og på selve dagen London Eye med Bethany. Gaver alle med Chelsea-logo; dog ingen tvivl om at den bedste er billetter til hende og Morten (!) til Championsleague mellem Chelsea og AS Roma om to uger.

Phantom of the Opera



Den mest intense musikoplevelse nogensinde!

Når musikken brager ud fra orkestergraven og den lille spinkle pige (for det er hun -hende, der spiller den kvindelige hovedrolle) synger så hårene rejser sig, føles det som om, hele ens krop skal sprænges.

Ganske enkelt uden sidestykke!!

About me
