"You are n:th in line. Please hold!"

Called to get an appointment with a doctor today. Well my friend woke me up just before eight so I would be able to call in. (They start taking phones in 7:30.) (Well I thought it started at 8, but the lady in the phone corrected me.) After first few tires, I was sure I had the wrong number. So I checked it out. It was correct. Then few more tries... Maybe my phone was not working.

I called my sis... Yes! She answered so my phone is working :). Again few more tries (the phone didn't even ring once when it got disconnected). Then I did some snooping around and found another number (it was to renew things) and I tried with it as well. It didn't connect either. So I had to try waiting... So I waited an hour and tried again... waited and hour and tried again.

Well this time I got connected to the line... Some basic music and "you are n:th in line. Please hold!", "there is traffic on our lines. Please hold!" to keep me company for the next oh, 20 minutes. Then after telling what's wrong with my hand, the lady in the other end says " I can't give you any times for tomorrow as they are only for calls that come in the tomorrow morning. Today we have no available times. I would suggest you call in tomorrow morning 7:30."

If I would have wanted next available appointment I would have had to wait for a long time...

So tomorrow morning, ya'll know what I will be doing!
*If you do know my phone number, please call me after seven, so I will wake up in time*

Sent applications out today

Yay me! I applied to at least five jobs today. I am not sure if I will be called to the interview. I doubt it. But at least I have sent applications out. It is a step closer on finding a new job. Also my hand hurts today really bad. Well not really bad it is more like one moment writing happily (not), about something work related and then suddenly I wish I could rip my hand off.

I promise to get an appointment next week. If I am up early enough to get an appointment. I am afraid that what I need is a vacation from computers. :( That means no writing blogs... Oh well at least I could pic up my camera again :) I really love taking pics. Maybe one day I will have a really good camera (Canon of course). With long lens.

In few minutes I will go eat with my brother et al. Then I will be watching after et al. Well not his wife of course, but the kids :) I am so easy to please... My bro just called if I would like to eat something and of course I said yes :) Today I went lunch with my friend as she was driving through. She was going home from her parents. We made plans about summer. Well about bbq :)) That is one thing that I love about summer. BBQ.

Now I gotta stop and find something to wear.

Movies

Went to see the Red Riding Hood... NOT. It was sold out as today is the last day to use the tickets that one has receive as xmas present. So there were a lot of people there... So instead of RRH we went to see the Scream 4.

So I really didn't have anything in mind when I went to see it. It has been such a long time since I saw the Scream 1,  2 and 3. So When I went in I didn't have any expectations. After the start I was a bit baffled about what kind of a movie did I come to see. But after the start I started to enjoy the movie. I think the sound was too loud, but then I was sitting in the first row...

So I think the movie was good. I didn't expect the ending, even though I kind of did. You know what I mean. I would say that this one ranks almost as high as number 1. I would have to watch the first movie again to make my mind up, but as I recall the first movie was not that good. It is a Horror/Mystery/Thriller (oh why can't they just use one) film. In my opinion they could drop the Horror out. Maybe also Mystery... Thriller would be enough. Compared to good Horror movies, this was really bad one. It was a good thriller though.

I would have not been sad to have had to pay to see the movie. As I said earlier my friend had these tickets that needed to be used by today. But if she hadn't had them, and we would have had to pay the extremely high price to get to see the movie, I wouldn't have been cursing the waste of money. I probably wouldn't have chosen the movie, if I would have had to pay for the tickets...

Why o'why

Is my fridge full of food that has gone bad? I think I need to start eating more... Or at least start to think what I have eaten as I am not hungry and the stuff in my fridge is not gone. I think I might be able to make mozzarella salad. But I will have to do it today and eat it by tomorrow.

I really do not like throwing stuff out, but now I really need to. This time with stuff I mean food. Not stuff stuff like I usually do :P

Well yeah, I was about to make myself breakfast, when I noticed that almost everything is out of date. One reason for this might be that I've been gone a lot and done small trips to my brother's place. (I get fed there.) (I can't wait till summer as I'll be able to bbq over there. Well my brother is going to and I will do the eating :P) Also I did a small trip to Tornio, Pieksämäki, Helsinki, Mäntsälä and Brighton in the last month... I will also go to Stockholm next weekend.

Yes I am aware that at one point I was complaining about not having anything to do or anywhere to go... I still would love to travel a bit further than Europe. There is still continents that I haven't visited! Asia and Australia, and Africa. I would like to visit Antarctica, but somehow I think it would be as easy as going to space... (for me I mean).

Red Riding Hood

Will be going to see the Red Riding Hood tomorrow in Helsinki. I do not have high expectations of that film. I think it will be something nice to watch, but I don't think I will be wowed.  My friend promised to wake me up at eight tomorrow, so I think I will have to go to bed early today.

I will also go to Stockholm in this weekend. I promise to take pics from there and share them here. This time I will take pics, promise! I will also go to Stockholm later this month with my brothers family. We shall see how interesting that trip will be :) Two little children and three adults... We all will be running after them a lot! Pics from there as well.

Next weekend (a week from now) I will be going to see my granny in Pieksämäki. She should be off from Hospital. I haven't called her as my mom has been there. I have no intention of talking to her, so I haven't called my granny. I have written in my granny's journal when I am coming (I reserve the weekends early on, so that I can plan my other things around them. So that I will have time to go) so she knows that I am coming.

This reminds me of one (or two) of my friends who have trouble planning ahead. Sometimes it is really frustrating to watch them, as the planning is my second nature. I remember the times that I was unemployed/student and was trying to find a job. I would stay wake few days in a row, because I wasn't able to plan the near future.

So when my friend(s) are troubling with the timetables, I wish I could just say that you need to start writing stuff down. Like one has trouble with seeing her family. If she wrote the weekends in already, she wouldn't plan other things over them. I have had my trouble with friends who broke their promises because they had accidentally (or not) made multiple plans on one day.

One thing that I hate the most, is to have to change things in the last minute. Especially if the thing that caused the change could have been avoided!

Anyways, this was supposed to be about the movie... well I haven't seen it yet, so I can't tell you what I think of it. Just that I think that it is not going to be very good, and this in mind I should be able to enjoy the movie. Don't get me wrong. I like movies that are based on children's books. I loved the Little Reg Riding Hood that came five (? or so) years ago. (The animated one.)

Anyways, yada yada and have a good night!
