Happy New Year!


Hi everybody.

In a few minutes we will pass into a new year here in america. Norway have already celebrated the new year for a few hours.

Today every single server was scheduled to work and I just love working with 3 tables instead of 4. This was a truly great day. Right now Trude and me are siting in an apartment with 4 italian people and we have been up since 6 (i woke up at 5 since Iselin set the alarm wrong) wich means we are tired and just want to go to sleep.

Happy new year to everyone in Norway and to all my friends here in America.

Todays posting is of me and my friend Ray from the Norwegian christmas party.

Christmas has passed





This year I got to excperience a new kind of christmas. At work we had christmas lunch, secret santa and a christmas party and all this was fun. On christmas eve we made a "Norwegian" christmas dinner in our apartment. In the morning we had introduced our Italian and Japaneese roommates for Rice porridge the way we like it in Norway. And after that Me and Iselin took a trip to Saratoga Springs resort to take a swim in the pool. It was about 30 degrees celcius this day. Now the weather has changed and we all believe we will freeze to death every morning going to work.

On christmas day i went by Norway pavillion to eat some christmas food before Susan picked me up and we went to her house. After a while we got in the car and went to her husbands family. This turned out to be a very special christmas excperience. With real people and real food. Thank you all for inviting me.

For christmas I got a whole lot of stuff in my christmas stocking from my roommates. I got a beautiful frame with pictures from Trude. From my secret santa (It was Pam) I got a photoalbum and some really nice stickers for scrap booking. From susan and her family I got a toy horse (the kind on a stick you had as a child), some really good skin products and marshmallow snowmen to paint with some special eatable pens.

Sick- im in bed in front of the tv


Yesterday we had a lack of servers in the pavillion and i worked with twice as many tables as i usually do. Everyone working this day showed that if we really want to we can do great teamwork.

Today my cold is even worse that it has been the last days. Was thinking of buying gifts for the people at home today but i dont know if i have the energy. Anyway i have to give back the nice rental car today. Even if I really dont want to give it up..

The posting today is me in a christmas hat. Maybe it gives you a feeling of christmas.

Christmas for the tired people


For some reason the Norwegians in epcot stopped working.. Instead of all the 18 scheduled servers showing up for work these days its about 8 each morning that choose to come. This means 6-7 tables on each server. usually we work with 3 or 4 tables.. Some of us are now getting really tired and sick of having to work double and really hard shifts.

But even if these days now at work sucks I want to give everyone a happy christmas smile. Last week Susan and me took susans soon Spencer to the mall to meet santa for the first time. And todays posting is from this meeting. I think maybe we had more fun than little Spencer.

And tomorrow im going to tampa to see egil. Finally a day with just relaxing. If work calls... Im dead!!
