Spreading love with random rants.
Before people jump to conclusions and cling to their assumptions, I want to let everyone know I am not a nutjob antivaxxer that believes more in hearsay and nonsense. I trust science and the structured way of conducting experiments to produce correct and truthful results.
Cum hoc ergo propter hoc.
Because the H1N1 vaccine were rushed and some people had some really odd reactions to it I honestly needed some time to make a decision if I should take it or not. On Friday, last week, I went to my doctor and got the vaccine. Apparently there are a lot of crazy antivaxxers in Australia and the H1N1 can act a bit random; so taking the vaccine or not was more like Bart Simpson would say: “You’re damned if you and damned if you don’t.”
I had a few of the symptoms, but they were probably a lot milder than the H1N1 flu itself. In other words, I think I made the right decision. Also, I am helping with herd immunity; as in minimising the risk of spread.
The worst symptom I had were two or three days of malaise. That was it.
In conclusion, if the vaccine works it is highly unlikely for me to get the H1N1 virus and pass it on to someone.
Which is kind of why I suddenly went silent the whole weekend. I was not only feeling drained for energy, the summer heat here is horrible. Seriously, I do not care if you like it hot; to me this is insane. I actually miss the feeling of freezing. When I get things out of the freezer I do not care any more if it hurts. I actually enjoy the burning sensation cold can give now. It is almost 11pm, it is about 25 degrees Celsius outside and the sweat is running down my back at the moment. I am almost soaking wet from sweat.
I really hope we can afford to go back to Europe next year. I will probably end up sleeping outside in only my boxers in -15 degrees Celsius just to remind myself how it feels to freeze again.
I am still looking for work, but personally I have given up hope on finding a job to be honest. I will still be looking and applying to anything I find; but the hope that I will get a job is not there any more. I read that unemployment is rising in Gothenburg; which I hope we will be moving to in about four years or so, but I am sure I would have found a job easy if I went there now.
I have actually thought about attaching a cover letter that reads: “I need a job, hire me now!” I do not think it will work, but at the moment I am just sending employers my CV. I am honestly sick and tired of this. Hopefully I will be able to get a job when I finish my degree. If not; well, I will cross that bridge when I come to it. Probably blow it up and burn it down in a drunken rage after I crossed that bridge.
I have befriended a Kingfisher that comes now and then begging for some food. So far it seems to enjoy the bread I am giving it. Do not have anything else I can think of it will eat.
