    Sweden screws with yet another holiday tradition

    Tuesday, 25 March 2008 12:38 P GMT+01
    Easter Weekend was a four-day affair here in Vikingland since both Good Friday and Easter Monday are official holidays.

    Forgive me for this Third Eye Blind reference...

    Monday, 3 March 2008 8:19 A GMT+01
    But today was the final fitting for my third prosthetic eye, and I can't see a damn thing out of it! So I had no choice, really.

    Look in the mirror much?

    Thursday, 28 February 2008 9:19 A GMT+01
    Evidently I don't. At least not before I leave for work. (And if my colleagues have noticed, they've been too polite to day anything about it.)

    An eye for an eye...

    Friday, 15 February 2008 12:03 P GMT+01
    So I was supposed to pick up my new eye on Wednesday, but after multiple fittings and adjustments, my prosthetist still wasn't happy with the results.

    Not quite like losing a contact...

    Back before Christmas when I was being fitted for my temporary off-the-rack prosthetic, the nurse warned me to be careful when I rubbed my eyes because it would be very easy to accidently pop it out.

    "Too drunk to wok"

    Friday, 25 January 2008 7:31 P GMT+01
    I met a few former colleagues for a drink after work last night while Dr. Darling chose to stay home and get started on dinner, a beef stir-fry. I called home as I was leaving and the following conversation ensued:

    You're gonna do what?!!!

    Wednesday, 16 January 2008 7:59 A GMT+01
    I don't know what I was expecting to happen at the first fitting for my permanent prosthetic eye, but I really didn't anticipate having my eye socket squirted full of synthetic modeling goop that hardened to the consistency of frozen Silly Putty.

    Monday morning mammography

    Monday, 14 January 2008 10:41 P GMT+01
    Okay, so I can think of a lot better ways to start a week. But at least this mammographical experience was a lot better than my first one.

    When size really does matter...

    Friday, 11 January 2008 11:52 A GMT+01
    While the size of the desk in my office hasn't really changed, it sure feels bigger since the arrival of my new flat-screen computer monitor.

    So *this* is what it's like to work full-time...

    Tuesday, 8 January 2008 11:16 P GMT+01
    I returned to the office yesterday for my first full day since the surgery, and to my relief it didn't feel all that much different from any other time I've gone back to work after spending Christmas in the U.S. I was no more sluggish than usual!

    Imagining all the party tricks in my future...

    Thursday, 20 December 2007 11:03 A GMT+01
    I was fitted for a temporary prosthetic eye this afternoon, a procedure that I thought would be much more complicated than it actually was.

    Running the gauntlet...

    Sunday, 16 December 2007 6:09 P GMT+01
    I'm not sure which was more stressful...travelling home from my office alone during rush hour last Friday, or navigating the crowds of Christmas shoppers in th city this afternoon.

    Back to the grind, sort of...

    Thursday, 13 December 2007 4:23 P GMT+01
    I've been working half-time this week, but doing so from the comfort of The Penthouse-Nordic. It feels really good to be "back on the job", and four hours in front of a computer seems just about right...
