This past Sunday was my last day working at IKEA
This past Sunday was my last day working at IKEA… before going to Australia that is!
So I was spending the Sunday working in the children’s play area called Småland, instead of being in the actual landscape Småland in Sweden where my family’s summer house is (that I mentioned in my earlier post). By the way, I took the above photo when “Småland” wasn’t in use. I wouldn’t have my phone out if there were kids there just so you know. They have just renovated the entire space, so I took the photo when my colleagues and I got to see it for the first time after the renovation.
I also realize that I probably sound über-swedish writing about midsummer, my blond boyfriend and IKEA in the same day, but what to do… that’s just what’s happening at the moment 😉
Anyway, I really like working at IKEA and I think they’re a great employer. Just the fact that they let me take 6 months off and go to Australia without any hassle at all and guarantee that my job is still there when I get back is awesome. So I recommend IKEA to all my friends and other students that would like to work while they study. The colleagues are great, the customers are usually all nice and friendly and you gain a lot of experience working with people.
A funny side note is that we’re currently three in my class at university that all work in the same IKEA warehouse. We were almost going to be four this summer, so we’ll see how many DPU:are that we can become before I leave the warehouse entirely. Whenever that is, my gut says I’m going to stay there for at least another year.
But I think that’s about enough IKEA for a while now, congrats if you made it this far into the post without getting sick of my rambling!
Have a lovely Midsummer’s Day, all the best

There’s an old Swedish saying
There’s an old Swedish saying that if you pick seven different kinds of flowers and put them under the pillow on Midsummer’s Eve, you will dream of Mr Right. Well, I think I’ve already found him.
Gustav picked more than seven different types of flowers (it was at least ten) and gave them to me yesterday without me even asking. Now there’s a keeper :*
Busy busy summer…

I spent the first week of summer vacation at the summer house in Småland. So incredibly nice after a packed and hectic semester at the university.

Swedish vs English
Inte ett helt lätt dilemma, det här med vilket språk man ska skriva på. I den senaste bloggen jag drev skrev jag varje inlägg på både svenska och engelska, men det tar evigheter att göra…
So unless my Swedish speaking friends protest loud and clear that they want me to write the posts in Swedish as well, I’m going to stick to English this time. Starting from this post.
Over time, you’ll notice that even if I try to write in Swedish I tend to mix in a lot of English words. Don’t really think my time in Australia will make me talk less Swenglish 😉
Anyway, that’s what’s on my mind at the moment. Puss och kram, see you soon!

Nu kör vi igång!
