Of course, it isn't all cooking and running off into the forest. I've got a full-time job here in Helsinki that is the reason I get to go spend a week in Sweden. I'm shifting into the new work pattern, and I am pleased to discover that I am more tech-savvy than I thought.
My mentor's data got shuffled and misaligned, and I remembered enough MSaccess from my brief period as an environmental consultant to build a database and fix it for him. As a result, the major grunt-work is being shifted onto one of my colleagues while I am now in a more IT role. He has a number of spreadsheets that have been messed in the same way, so I am his go-to for fixing it. This is much more challenging work, and thus more interesting, than data-entry.

In other work news, I've met with a specialty coffee lady, and she seems excited that I might pick up a shift or two a week. I told her that I had a full time job, and that I need to see how the hours settle out before I commit to something else, but that I'm interested. She believes a cafe would hire me even if I only wanted to work Saturdays. I think this is because of my barista-ing so long at a quality shop.
