Facebook friends

I kind of understand why my family members want to be my Facebook friends. I just do not understand why would they think I would want to be their Facebook friends! My mother and aunt have asked me to be their friends. I have not approved either of them. I know that my mother can stalk me through some of the friends we share. I actually had to hide some of my feed from one of my aunts. Oh yeah, I am friends with three of my aunts. 

It is just so annoying that when I travel far, they think that it gives them the right to be in contact with me more often than what has been the status quo. Really!? If I wanted to talk to my mother more often I would call her. Or write to her. The problem is that I just might not have the uptodate information, so I don't even try. Yes I do remember when I was younger that I tried to call her and she would not answer. Or when I tried to tell how I was doing, and she suddenly was way too busy. So, I do not think I have to accept her as my FB friend. Relative or not, that does not mean that you will be automatically accepted as a friend.

Pointless job

I really need a vacation and soon. I am bored with my job already, and I still have most of the day left. Not good. It's like I'm living in a Groundhog Day movie, but the days are minutes and the minutes go forward. Why won't people read the instructions. I admit that I would have 70% less work, if people would actually read instructions... So maybe it is okey that they don't read instructions. I really need to have a steady income...

Home sickness

Couple of my friends and family members have now asked me if I am home sick already. It is really funny to me, as I have moved a lot. I do remember that when I was a small kid I got home sick, but there was nothing I could do about that. So I have lived and learned that where ever I am, there is home. I don't get home sick, because I am home. Sure I miss friends and family, but I would not see them that often would I now live in Finland. School and work really take most of my time, and the rest that is left, I use for sleeping. I do try to get out on weekends, so that I would not spend the whole year inside :)

Also where would I have home sickness to? I do sometimes miss Grenada. It was nice and warm. Sometimes too warm, if you ask me, but still I miss it. Florida! I had so many friends there and we went places together. Now there aren't that many friends, and I would not want to live there, but I still miss it sometimes. In Finland I have lived in so many places, that it feels silly to say that I am from one location. Also most of my not so nice memories are from there. Half of my friends do live there, and I do miss my friends. Pretty much all of my family members live there, but I don't miss all of them. 

Maybe I will get home sick, when I move back to Finland. Maybe I will miss Canada the most? Who will know, not me. 

Surprise!

The past weeks has been full of surprises. I was some what surprised to learn that my boss had gone on a vacation. Usually I am told when he is gone, so that I will know how it will affect my work. This time I learned it from Facebook. I do admit one thought that I had was, that he is coming here to tell me that I am fired and the company is no longer. Although, I am pretty sure he would just call me and not come and visit. But anyway, my boss went on vacation.

Few days ago I learned that my boss and aunt are getting a divorce. There is no big drama behind it. They just found themselves on different paths. I haven't talked to my Aunt yet (learned this from FB as well), but we have messaged through FB. I welcomed her to come here, if she needs to take some time off. I doubt she will be coming, because she does not like flying. 

Third surprise via Facebook was that I learned a friend of mine is having a child! Yay! It was good to read some good news for a while. I kind of expected her to have one already. She will be wonderful mother, I am sure of it. Also she is due in August, which means that the child will have a very good birthday. August is a good month to be born.
