OK, the time has finally come to get a “real” job. On the first of March I will start working as a clerk in a court in southern Sweden. It is tradition for Swedish lawyers to serve two years at a court after their education and, as I understand it, the job is also condsidered as semi-education. But anyway, it’s my first paid job as a lawyer.

Hey! Good on you! Congratulations!
[...] Jag ska alltså jobba i Malmö i två år med start 1/3. Jag har egentligen inte alls tänkt flytta till Malmö utan kommer snarare att veckopendla och åka hem till Göteborg på helgerna. Det är ju lite för långt för att man ska vilja åka varje dag . . . [...]
[...] I am writing this on the train home after my first (short) week at my new job. These are just a few random thoughts really . . . First, I still don’t have a permanent place to sleep down there, which is kind of annoying. As a consequence, I don’t have internet access, except at work (where I am, after all, supposed to work). Hopefully, I’ll find a nice small and cheap flat with broadband soon . . . The job seems OK. The people are nice and i like the atmosphere at the office (even though I have to share an improvised “office” created by putting two book shelves as a “wall” between our desks and the busy corridor. The environment is more relaxed than I expected (having read Tingsnotarien). I am also almost disapointed that no one seems to have noticed my long hair. Not a single comment in three days! Then again, people seem to wear ties at random and yesterday I noticed that one of the judges was wearing sandals (he wore a tie, though). The actual work seems OK and I expect to learn a lot. The cases at this kind of court are not really the kind I am interested in, though. It’s mainly taxes, revoked driving licenses and disputes related to the social security system. Still, it seems highly educational, and I get paid. Once I get more permanent internet access down there (or at least get my Palm back from repair) blogging might get back to normal. War walking through the blizzards with a laptop did not seem feasible. [...]
