"Now, Günther, I vantz you to svallov diz golfball..."
Well, this is interesting... I am, at the moment, a guiniea pig, putting my sense of smell on the line for the sake of SCIENCE! for roughly two hours, in return for a CD with pictures of my brain and two scratching tickets. In theory, at least. The people here are having difficulties getting the MR-machine-thingy to work, so we went ahead and did some smelling tests that were supposed to be done after the MR-run, and now that we're done with those I was given access to internet while we're waiting for the bloody thing to work as it should. Apparently, this is the first test scheduled since a lot of cables were replaced after a system crash or failure or something :/
I might have to come back at a later time, if the guy they just called can't fix the problem.

Anyway, other news. I has a job! Only until roughly mid february, though, if I do well. Still, that's potentially six and a half months of working experience, a chance of getting a reference from someone I'm not related to, and most importantly, well paid. After calculating a bit, I've come to the conclusion that I will most likely earn more than NOK 20.000 each month! And all it will cost me is any appreciation I might ever have for marzipan ever again. I have been hired to help out Nidar with their Christmas and Easter production, primarily the marzipan division. I will be working in shifts, though, which means that my rp-attendance will become rather reduced. In any case, rp'ing into the wee hours of the night will be out of the question, sadly. Oh well...

EDIT: Meh, the thingie refused to be cooperative (until about 30 minutes after I had left, I have been notified by mail), so a new date was agreed upon before I was sent home. Going back on 11th of july to try again. On my way home I stopped by the store and got foodstuffs for bbqing tonight, as well as a klippekort so I don't have to pay quite that much for riding the bus.

Woot! Congrats on the work thing! Many salutations, and here's to hoping your first job isn't too....y'know, terrible :P We'll miss you of course, but can't really say I can fault your choice.

Funnily enough, I signed up for the brain-scan experiments too. But I was disqualified due to braces. Who knew you shouldn't have metal in your mouth while hyper-strong magnets rotate around your head?
