I feel like we are riding in the dark with no headlights and a maniac at the wheel. Where did we go wrong?

Nice metaphor. Let's refine it a bit:

We're in a demolition derby in the dark, with multiple contestants, some of whom are maniacs, some of whom flash their lights occasionally blinding us. The brakes and air bags have failed, but the horns and gas pedals still work. Fasten your seat belts; it's going to be a bumpy ride.

The bad thing is that Sweden is unrecognizable, no control, too much going on.

The good thing is that family wounds are healing.

2017 for me was worse than 2016, and 2016 wasn't great. I'll be glad to see the back of this year.


Was held together in 2017 mostly by sleeping tablets and good coffee. I've become closer however to my extended family (Facebook has its uses) and feel I have achieved a lot through my work. (Not a single day off sick, despite the insomnia,.....heck, in spite of it).

I will chalk 2017 up, in balance, as a good year. I hope the same for all of us here in 2018.

Actually, Obama was still president for the first 3 weeks of 2017.

Ok, now place your votes. 😛

And Happy New Year !!

For me personally:

Worst: first half.
Better: second half, including finding a job.
Best: playing in the Pirates of Penzance, and the people I did it with.


You'd be the very model of a modern major general!

Alas, only a lowly pirate... although I can almost sing the MG's song by heart, and I believe I could've doubled Samuel had it been necessary.

It honestly was an experience that made my year. The singing and playing was fantastic itself, but the people... f#$$, I needed that. I so needed that, and I didn't even realise it until I joined.

Yeah, I signed up for next year.

Thanks. It's... well, I'm learning things, I'm not bored, and my cow-orkers mostly don't get on my nerves. As for the pay, it's basic, but anything's better than zero.
