Finances and Other Stuff
I have been here for 1.5 months already and I have not been paid yet. There are delays due to the fact that they only pay once a month coupled with the fact that they screwed up payment to a foreign bank. Today I bought a package of 4 veggie burgers for 50NOK ($10CAN) and then filled a tank of gas at just over $2CAN a liter. It's good I have savings or I'd be eating dog food by now.
On other fronts, I took an introductory kickboxing class today. What a workout! I went with a guy from work who has a few years of experience kickboxing. About halfway through the class we partnered up and he got to do punches and kicks while I held a blocking pad. But for some reason, we never switched! The class was over and I was left going "but....but....?"
Tomorrow I'm orienteering again, and this time I've been moved up to the next category because of my performance two weeks ago. The route will be twice as long, the flags more hidden, and you only get to see the map 59 seconds before you go. Should be fun....
Thursday I'm hoping to bike to work for the first time now that I was taught the best route by a guy from work. He started drawing it on a map and then said that this simply wasn't working. I figured that was the end of it, but instead we got in his car and we drove it....in the middle of the day. It took about 30 minutes to get back to the office. Priorities.....are different here.
On Friday I'm overnighting at a cabin with about ten people from work (hence veggie burgers). Should be good. I'll post pictures.
