Last week, Friday I think, I had an unanswered call on my cellphone while I was working out at the gym. The call orginated from a number owned by the Student society of Trondheim. I decided to call back, and in the other end of the line Magnus, the ring leader of the IT-committee (ITK) answered.
He asked who I was, and I responded. Moving along he told me that ITK would like to offer me a place on their committee. Having gone through the interview only a few days earlier, I was quite amused by hearing this, and gratefully accepted the offer. The shock of having made one of my long-time wishes come true made the adrenalin pump so fast in my body that I just had to do another workout, hence I ended up doing a total of 4 hours of workout on Friday.
To some of you the whole idea of being happy about getting something more to do in your spare time may seem odd. Granted, some people have weird hobbies, so do I, it’s called ‘a keen interest in the workings of computer systems, networks and the ‘stuff’ that surrounds them’. To become a member of ITK puts me right where I feel at home. In a geeky, yet friendly and social functioning group of people that wish to do good for their fellow students in the society. Already there seem to be some things I will get to work with that I might enjoy, and some things that I may dislike, but yet, have to deal with. Like in any job, you can’t love it all. Taking on the task of administrating a Windows server may not be what I long most for, but I’ll do my best to make it work, and from doing such things at work, I know, that it’s possible to do it from Linux.
To make the weekend and the Monday even more absurd I reached my goal of hitting 77 Kg’s on Monday afternoon. Weighing in at 77.2 Kg’s on Monday evening was good enough for me, and when I came to ITK at Samfundet to do my first meeting with the others I felt so good that I granted myself a piece of chocolate cake that suddenly showed up in the room. I can tell you, that cake was good..!
Yesterday I worked, then I did a two hour workout at the gym before I got home and ate pizza for dinner. Feeling good about my weight and the minor milestone of jogging 15 minutes without feeling tired during the workout made the evening complete. To make sure things were to be even better I fixed the broken tire on my bike and biked over to Samfundet and finished up a task I had been given before todays meeting. The task, ‘create a portable sizable version of TormodG with a clue and access all areas’. Okay.. So I created a mini-Tormod, sortof. Pic’s will be online later if I get around to take some.
Today it’s the first day of a new month. September will be a long, good month. First there’s the meeting today, and before that some workout. Then there’s Friday.. more about that later. Saturday a friend has a party in his new house, and on Sunday, there’s dinner with my dad and stephmom. I can’t even wait to finish work! So much to do! woha!
