Damn sick leave paper!

The paper didn't come yesterday. That means that a paper they claim to have sent on the 1st of December (and that I really needed the first week of December) still hadn't arrived by the 29th of December. Now I will only get half of what I usually earn in January, because the social insurance system won't give me any money before they get this paper from my doctor. And January is such a great month for this, nobody's short on money after christmas of course. Wrong!
I have seen them in person, I have called them several times and first they blamed it on the postal service and then they said they would send it the same day, it was lying on the secretary's desk. And still it hasn't come.
F**k them!! I had trouble sleeping tonight because of this and I really don't need that on top of being ill.

Sick leave paper finally arrives!!

The paper just came and now I only have to go to my job to get a copy for them and then I can send it ot the social insurance people.
It also covers January, which is good, otherwise I would have had to call them again on friday to get another paper.

The new book on the Greenland gowns!

Three entries in one day, you must think I have no life, or at least no friends. Well, I do, but right now I'm to tired from my cold to be social with people IRL, so I write lots of diary posts instead.
Anyway, when I went to my job to get a copy of that sick leave paper I've been raving about I found that the new book on the medieval dress finds from Greenland (Som syet til jorden by Else Ostergaard)had arrived. Hooray!
I don't have the energy to read it right now, but I have it, it's mine, mine, mine!
My professor also showed me a new book in norwegian that I have to order. Or rather a very old book, it's the first translation into modern norwegian of "Tristram og Isond", the 13th century norwegian version of the Tristan story. The publisher is "Det norske samlaget" which is a very funny name in Swedish because it means "The norwegian intercourse". It doesn't mean that in norwegian of course, but still.
