Yet another day with DSB!

And they're just as hopeless as ever... This morning when I went to work, I ran between the trains to catch a commuter train that would enable me to take an earlier bus to work and not have to sit at a busstop for 20 minutes. But when I had gotten onto the commuter train after some running, and found a seat, it was announced that the train would be cancelled and the next train would come about 7-8 minutes later. The next train came and I took that one, but had to sit at the busstop for 20 minutes waiting for the next bus going to work.

Work today has been great. Many workmates really appreciated the Christmas decorations I put up yesterday afternoon after most people had gone home for the day. I actually don't think I've had such a smooth and problem free day at work for many months now to be honest. It would have been a perfect day if DSB had just done their job which is to provide public transport which is on time!

On my way home from work everything was smooth until I came into Copenhagen Central station. Looking at the departure screen I saw my train had been delayed 9 minutes and a couple of minutes later it was cancelled due to technical problems, but instead of letting people off at another platform, of course the cancelled train had to block the platform my regional train was going to arrive at minutes later. Said and done, the platform was changed for my train, and if that wasn't enough the escalator up from the platform where I was waiting was not running so I had to run up the escalator and then go down on another platform to catch a train which of course ran late because the cancelled train occupied the regional train's original platform.

I ended up getting home about 40 minutes later than usual, and that included a quick trip to the supermarket after getting off the train.

I really need to have a car soon! Can't stand DSB and their constant poor excuses and delays! It's only a matter of time until I'll take a taxi and send the bill to DSB when they do like this...

Oh, btw. The initials DSB does fit them quite well too. It's short for Dumb Stupid Bastards/Buggers!


Rant over!

TGIF tomorrow!

Only one more workday this week and thanks heaven for that! My feet are quite litterally killing me. So much pain when wearing my safety shoes I can barely even walk after a few hours of wearing those shoes. I bought new insoles today on my way home from work, and those insoles should be better than my current. The ones I bought today are also made of gel, but they have some harder gel around to keep it stable around the heel, and under the heel and front pad of the foot it has some beewax shaped pattern which makes the gel even softer in those places. My current gel insoles are just gel but not much support, stability or flexibility under, so when standing on them it's still too hard to stand on, and when walking it becomes too unstable I get that acid feeling in my legs even when walking slowly.
Other than the insole problem, my safety shoes are pretty good. I've worn them a lot now so the soles are very flexible and the leather around the foot fits my feet now too. I don't even notice there is a steel cap on the toes now, just so used to it I guess. Only time I've noticed the steel cap lately would be yesterday when my foot slipped inside my shoe and slided into the steel when playing table tennis.
Oh well enough about that.

Today I've been looking everywhere at work to find the box with Christmas decorations that should be somewhere in the far end of the warehouse, but alas, I didn't find it! Seems like there won't be any decorating tomorrow afternoon, unless some workmate comes forward and knows where the box is. I can of course buy some new Christmas decorations, but when we do have some somewhere we might aswell use that instead of wasting money on buying new decorations.

Dang, I've been having hiccups for the past 10 minutes now! Must be the cold air in the room. It has just been raining outside so it's humid cold in the room now even though the room temperature is totally fine.

Better take care of my hiccups now, and get my hair dried so I can go to sleep. This morning I was awaked by drilling at 7.50am, sure, I was snoozing and planned to get up about 5 minutes later, but it was the 2nd time this week those idiots working on the facade started drilling at 8am or before! If they do it tomorrow aswell, I will go out in nightdress or underwear, unplug their machine and then cut off the cable and put chewinggum in the powersupply thing on the wall!

Some days are just great!

There will be a Christmas after all! The project at work has been delayed again. I'm very happy about it because it will enable me to be with my family for longer than just the actual Christmas weekend, but at the same time feeling a little bit annoyed about it because the system currently in use is not the most stable on the planet. But I do think they made a good decision to wait with the new system until it's been fully tried out and everyone has had good time to learn how to use it.

Today has also been one of November's few sunny days! So all in all, a good day.

I'm going to be a Santa at work on Friday together with at least one of my workmates. We're going to surprise the morning team on Monday by doing Christmas decorations in our department on Friday afternoon when most people has started their weekend. One of the advantages with being on the afternoon team! So on Monday morning when people come to work, they'll be greeted by Santas and glitter! We might even overdo it a bit and put up some lights, but we'll have to buy some first then so I'll see if we put up lights or not.

I'm going to put up lights at home in the weekend anyways. Sunday is first of Advent! Wow, Christmas is coming fast!

Time to get my hair a bit dryer now, and transfer some Christmas music to my iPhone.
