Yes i feel that people are bothering me a little bit lately..not people in general, no no general people are good, but people in particular. The People that sit in their offices with their bread crumbles in their laps, and with their pictures of smiling family members in front of them, people that sit there, surfing their days away, googling their own names, passing time by the water machine and bothering me with their trained bureaucracy. I came to Sweden thinking that the people would welcome me, like a long lost daughter or at least send me a ice cream cake, but nope..they are instead trying to make everything as complicated as possible. Like registering me in the country...Today i was walking to through the central station to have a cup of coffee with my good friend katarina, when i got stopped by a young guy with shiny teeth...stop he said, don't i know you! ..no no.. i answered you don't... YES i do, we went to the same high school, i cant believe you don't recognise me he continues, with a shiny teeth smile....i say that i don't recognize him, and ask suspiciously what the name of the school is that we shared....He doesn't remember that ,but he is a mobile phone salesman and has a great offer for me. He shows me this very nice phone that works like an ipod with everything in it.and its for free..almost....I'm trying to get away thinking that this must come with a hatch..people just don't give you nice phones for almost nothing like that...but he continues, he really wants to sell me this deal..and goes on and on..finally i say..alright yes i take it just give me the goddamn phone..i sign the papers feeling that this was probably the best thing this day, while he is doing a check on my social numbers...I'm all set to plug the phone in, when he says with tears in his eyes...you are not a Swedish citizen are you....yes yes i am..he says No, you are not listed in the country.....in one second he has demolished the signed papers and turned away from me..so i have to walk away with shame, no phone, no country..the thing is that i registered when i came back, but some of this particular people seem to have spilled coffee on my application or something so...
The list could go on...like the stupid people on the Internet company or the people that are supposed to give me a job...
i need a beer.
