If you ain’t digital what happened?

Being at least to some degree digital is today a most if you live in Sweden. But what happened if not?

When I work at the front office at my work I almost every day meet people who have non or extrem low connection to the digital world. Some of them because they have made an active choice to be analog in a digital world. It makes it harder but is a choice they made with open eyes. But most of them…

Is bureaucratic resistance right?

Bureaucrats are often seen like smal grey gears that make the world around us working. And this is true, the job of the bureaucrat is to implement rules in the society to make it work smooth and with some degree of certainty. As a public servant I know that more then many more and Im proud to serve a democratic elected government independent of what policies they implement.

How ever there is…

Revolt the law of Jante

The law of Jante is a terrible fictional law made up in the imaginary society Jante first described in the dano-norweigan author Aksel Sandemose in his novel A Fugitive Crosses His Tracks. It’s a law who by it’s content imprision people in their self, stopping them from being what the could be.

The law goes a

I’m not kind, I’m professional

One thing I reflected around the last days is al those who says thank you and really meen it. Yes it’s nice that people like the service I give them at work. But I don’t do it because of my warm kind heart. My decisions is based on laws, instructions and custom codex. So when I make a positive decision it’s not because I want to help someone it’s for it’s their right and for being granted what’s…

Automation aint obscene

In the tribut song Joe Hills ashesthey sing about how’s the envelope with Joe Hills ashes was stopping the post sorting machine. However I disagree with the IWW (Industrial Workers of the World) at that time and support the idea about automation. Mostly because it makes ordinary peoples life better not worse. Im happy that the factories who broke down the people their is long time gone and those…

Will Brexit ever happend? I hope not

Al my UK friends are against Brexit, maybe because most of them are expats living in Sweden. But today I was working in the reception and an Romanian guys comes in. He tells me that he hava a good job in UK but now want to move to Sweden because of the Brexit. Yes I do think that a hard Brexit would harm the EU-citizen. But was worth is that I also think that the hard Brexiters want the hard…

The grassroot bureaucrat a fighter for democracy

Working for an state authority we always follow the law even if we as private persons dislike the politics. For me it’s obvious and nothing to think about. But from time to time I meet citizens who ask why we don’t revolt, why we don’t refuse to implement the laws when we see that people could get negative consequences of it or why we don’t sabotage laws, budgets and orders that damage our…

Get a pastery

One of the thins I really like with Malmö is its coffe and fika culture. Everywhere in the city you can find a bun or a pastery to your cup of coffe or tea. You never need to walk far to find cafeteria where you can walk in, be greeted with a hello and order something small for your sweet tooth. Below I have collected some of the buns and pasteries I have enjoyed the last year.

So it’s time to rebrand. Of course I will still write about my travels. Where Odense, Östersund and Krakow is booked. But what…

The good life

For may people the good life is symbolized by champagne, RollsRoyce and private jets. And yes I would not say no to the RR och a private jet abstaining the champagne to people who drink it. But is this really the good life? For me there is two things that beat everything.

The first thing is being loved and maybe more important being able to love. I know that even if my husband call me for a diva…

The invisible enemy should not exist

Malmö have large IRAQ diaspora which maybe aint surprising if we think of its violent modern history. But its also an old cultural culture that was unlucky to have a lot of oil in the soil. Oil that the presidency of USA couldn’t resist. So their solution was to start an unlawful war against IRAQ blaming him for having chemical weapons that was nowhere to be found.

Instead of preventing a crime…

Become more then a bee

The German-American philosopher Hannah Arendt describes in her work The Human Conditionthat we need to make a difference between work and labour. This need could be found as an introvert philosophical question but is actually a question of who and what we are as humans. For Arendt work is a free and self owned and controled activity while labor is its opposite, the activity that is owned and…

My work etics

I think as a public servant it’s important to reflect over your etics. What are they and why? I have been close to the subject before when I wrote about why I likes my job. But this time I will try to describe my etics at work. You could say it’s a kind of utilitarian etics of duty. By that I mean that I try to do as good as possible for so many as possible by using the law as a liberating tool.

Lets get an oyster

Oysters are even slimmy, salty and strange or an absolute delicates. Thanks tommy French friends I have learned to not only eat them but also love them.

But oysters and just for eating, they are also small living treatment plants cleaning the water around them.

So by eating this delicious little animal I actually preserve the nature. Yes I knew I was a great friend Mother Nature.
