This week has been crazy busy so I haven't had time to write anything. I had my 4-day orientation this week and I started at 8.30 am everyday. I almost felt like I was back in school again. It was fun, during the whole orientation there was a competition going on and my team won. We kicked butt!
Wednesday Jon and I went to Lake Havasu and bought our first car! A silver '07 Dodge Charger. I got out early from orientation that day so we spent that afternoon car shopping. Now we finally have our own car.
Thursday was the last day of orientation, customer service day. At the end of the day we had a little customer service test and if we passed we got certified. We all passed.
After orientation Jon came and picked me up in our new car. We went home real quick so that I could change in to something more comfortable. And then we drove over to Fort Mohave to show Jon's mom, sister and brother in-law our new car. We hung out for a while and then we went to the movies; me, Jon, Fran, Fabi, Jr, Paul and Chelsea. We saw "Knowing" with Nicholas Cage, not a great movie, really weird. We were gonna see "Dragon Ball Z" but they had screwed up the premiere date on the website, so when we got there we were told that that movie wasn't gonna be showing until the next day. After the movie some of us went over to our 'ohh, not so clean' apartment and went in the jacuzzi.
I was off today so Jon and I went grocery shopping, inspected my rings and faxed some info over to the auto dealership. Cleaning the apartment was on the list, but we'll have to do that tomorrow, either before I go to work or after I get home. Hopefully, ha ha.
Tomorrow I'll start working again.

Har varit jaette upptagen hela veckan sa jag har inte hunnit skriva nat. Jag har haft min 4-dagars introduktion den haer veckan och boerjade kl. 8.30 varje morgon. Kaendes naestan som att jag hade boerjat skolan igen. Introduktionen var jaette kul, under dom 4 dagarna taevlade vi i grupper mot varandra och min grupp vann. "We kicked butt!"
Pa onsdagen fick vi sluta tidigt sa jag och Jonathan akte till Lake Havasu och koepte en bil! En 2007 silver Dodge Charger. Nu har vi aentligen egen bil!
Torsdag var sista introduktions dagen da vi fick laera oss service. Det sista vi fick goera var ett service test och klarade det blev vi certifierade. Alla klarade testet.
Efter introduktionen kom Jonathan och haemtade mig i varan bil. Vi akte hem en snabbis sa jag fick byta klaeder och sedan akte vi oever till Fort Mohave och visade Jonathan's mamma, syster och svaer-bror bilen. Vi var kvar daer ett tag och sedan gick vi pa bio med Fran, Fabi, Jr, Paul och Chelsea. Vi sag "Knowing" med Nicholas Cage, inte alls en bra film, vaeldigt konstig. Vi skulle ha sett "Dragon Ball Z" men dom hade skrivit fel premiaer datum pa hemsidan sa naer vi kom dit fick vi veta att den filmen inte skulle boerja visas foerraen dagen efter (fredag). Efter filmen foeljde Fran, Fabi och Jr med oss hem till varan, inte alls sa rena, laegenhet och sa gick vi ned till jacuzzin.

AFTER SECOND DAY AT WORK
I got to work two days this week. Next week is orientation Monday - Thursday and then I'll be back at work again on Saturday. So far so good, it's a lot of new info at once right now but it's starting to stick.
At first I thought the "Are you really from Sweden?" comments were pretty funny. But after getting about 10 of them today I realized it's not that they don't believe that I am, it's just a way to ask about it. It makes it really easy to start conversations with the customers. However I don't think that I was able to answer a single question about the rest of the casino that I got today. I memorized where the closest bathrooms, buffet and cashiers cage are located, since that is the most common question. But not a single person has asked me that yet, off course. So there I stand like a "trainee" idiot, with a big smile on my face while I'm frantically trying to find one of my co-workers that can help me answer. Or answer for me, I should say.
Hopefully I'll be able to answer a couple of them next time I work.
I'm looking forward to my orientation, everyone says it's a lot of fun. And you can win prizes!
------------------------------------------
Jag fick jobba tva dagar den haer veckan. Naesta vecka aer det introduktion mandag - torsdag och sen jobbar jag igen pa loerdag. Aen sa laenge gar det bra, det aer mycket nytt pa samma gang just nu men det gar enklare foer varje gang.
I onsdags och naer jag boerjade jobba idag sa tyckte jag att "Aer du verkligen fran Sverige?" kommentaren var ganska rolig/dum. Men efter den 10e gangen idag insag jag att dom menar inte att dom inte tror pa att jag aer fran Sverige, det aer bara ett saett att fraga OM Sverige. Det goer det iallafall laett att prata med alla. Jag behoever inte hitta pa nat att prata om, dom fragar mig om Sverige istaellet. Men aen sa laenge har jag inte kunnat svara pa en enda fraga om resten av casinot. Jag har memorerat svaren till var toaletterna, buffen och daer man "cashar in" aer, eftersom det aer dom vanligaste fragorna. Men inte en enda person har fragat mig om det aen, sjaelvklart inte. Sa daer star jag som en "ny pa jobbet" idiot, med ett leende pa laepparna medan jag frenetiskt letar efter en medarbetare som kan hjaelpa mig att svara. Eller, raettare sagt, svara pa fragorna at mig.
Naesta gang jag jobbar hoppas jag att jag kommer kunna svara pa ett par fragor iallafall.
Jag ser fram emot min introduktion, alla saeger att det aer jaette kul. Och man kan vinna priser!

FIRST DAY @ WORK
So later today I'll start working again, after +8 months as housewife. I've taken a shower and fixed my bangs. Jon and I decided that we'll go shopping after I got off of work instead of when he gets home in 3 hours. Then I'll see if I can find some nice black pants to wear at work, my black jeans will have to do until then. Maybe I should look at some comfortable black shoes as well. But that's not as urgent, I have a pair of black sneakers.
We've been getting UsWeekly the past two weeks. Well, to be honest, it's not addressed to us, it's for someone else who used to live here before us. Usually I cross out the name and write "NOT CURRENT RESIDENT" on the mail and put it back in the mailbox. But not this, I took it with me to the apartment and read the whole thing. I figured that whoever the magazine is for will call once they realize they're not getting it. But the second UsWeekly arrived in the mail yesterday. Again I kept it, took it with me back to the apartment and read the whole thing. I had no idea that Cat Cora is a lesbian, and is married with children, and that she and her wife are pregnant, at the same time!
---------------------------
Lite senare idag boerjar jag jobba, efter ca +8 manader som hemmafru. Jag har duschat och plattat luggen. Jonathan och jag bestaemde igar att vi aker och handlar efter jag slutar jobba istaellet foer att aka naer han kommer hem fran jobbet om ca 3 timmar.

Den som premenurerar pa tidningen kommer vael ringa UsWeekly naer dom inte far nagon tidning, taenkte jag. Men igar fick vi en UsWeekly till, och jag behoell den, igen. Jag hade ingen aning at Cat Cora (en kaendis kock) aer lesbisk, gift och har barn, att hon aer gravid och att hennes fru aer gravid med!
