LANYUK

I'm getting actual work! It feels nice to be relied on. I edited a sort-of proposal for work and I was thinking that somebody else had final say, so I made my changes tentative, but they told me that it's my decision. They trust me. That feels good. 

Today, Mikko and I arranged to get me internet at home. We decided to buy a 12-month package because I get everything I need, and it's all free for the first three months. Then, when I cancel the package, I have to pay a 99 euro fee. But that's all. I don't pay anything else. And considering it would cost 30 to start and about 35 per month for service without a plan plus some extra fees (for equipment), it was actually cheaper to just get the package. I will, of course, cancel it in three months' time. Mikko is helping me with everything so I don't fuck up. Plus, he got free cable TV from it (at least for the time I have the package). Since I don't have a TV, I didn't care about the cable. But Mikko also said that if I do end up getting a TV somehow, he would give the cable TV card back to me. Good deal, I think.

I (accidentally) stole a pack of BBQ sauce from McDonald's today. Mikko and I went to eat there for lunch. We had to find something quick since we had spent so much time arranging my internet. I forgot that you have to pay for condiments in Finland, so I walked up to the counter, picked up some BBQ sauce and walked off. Mikko laughed and told me I had just accidentally stolen it. No one cared, though. Hm.

I might take Friday off of work, which everyone is saying is OK, since Jaba leaves on Sunday. Who knows if I'll ever see him again. I'm not sure yet. I need to see how much work I have to get done before then. 

I'm also randomly sick again. Apparently, what I have went around the office a few weeks ago (and all winter), so I just picked it up from the air. Ugh. It sucks.

I LOVE LANYUK.
