When everything is the next best thing

So, naturally I'm also looking for a job now. Preferable in Helsinki, or near by. The good news is that there are lots of available jobs. The bad news is that there are also lots of people applying for those jobs.

The goal is to find a job that I could be passionate about, one that would make me want to stick around forever. I'm not picky, the only REAL criteria that I have is that it has to make me happy. And that's kinda the problem.

What do you do when you find lots of jobs that would SO make you happy? What do you do when you write the application and you don't even have to make up positive things because you're just so excited about the possibility of working there? What do you do when you send out the application and every time you get a feeling that THIS IS IT ? What do you do when you then get an answer "yes you'd be perfect but we need someone now instead of in a months time" or "if you can't be here for the interview next week then I'm afraid we can't consider you" or "sorry but the position was filled already last week" ? You get a little upset, that's what you do.

I'm someone you genuinely gets excited. Even though I know I probably shouldn't, I still do. How can you turn off the excitement of a new possibility? How do you stay calm and stop imagining what you'll wear on your first day of work in that new placement that's going  be just awesome? I haven't got a clue.

So, anyone there in Helsinki looking for an enthusiastic person, I'm here, hire me. I'm ready. I even know what to wear on my first day.

Things I did for the first and the last time

So my bucket list goes on. I tried to explain the meaning of it to the singer Davide Toffolo (3 allegri ragazzi morti), whom I met this weekend by accident. I didn't know who he was, to me he seemed just a nice chatty person in a strange costume. When my friends kindly told me who I was talking to, obviously I HAD to do a selfie with him (or is it a twolfie since we're both in it??).

So he agreed to do the photo, but also inquired what it was all about. I said "well, I'm doing things for the first and the last time, and taking selfies as I go along". I didn't care to mention that I did things for the last time because I was leaving the country, so he got kinda sad and said "ok, I'll do the photo, but mind you that I'm a little offended by the fact that you wish you never saw me again". Yes, way to go Erika, that's the way to put people in a good mood.

Luckily my friends rushed to my assistance and cleared the whole thing up. Thank's guys. Here are the latest 4 photos! Haven't ridden the bus yet, nor gone to Mass, but I'll get there!

Went to Treviso, by car, by myself. I didn't have a navigator,
so I used the one in my cell phone. Didn't have a holder
for it, so I used some tape to attach it to the
dash board. No, I'm not an ex scout.

Went to the Acqua Alta book shop in Venice. Yes I wrote it
wrong on the photo. It's said to be the prettiest book
shop in the world. I say: NI.

They had a music video shoot here for Vasco B. something.
Not Vasco Rossi, but the other one. They used a rubber
boat as a prop, so needless to say it was more or less
weird. We all got to participate, so if you see an Italian
music video with one scared blond, that's me.

And here we are, best mates with DT

Until next time, take care!!
