People are using that kind of expression, especially now after the summer vacation and when the olympic games on TV is over. And it sounds like most of them are happy about it too ..!?! Can it be like this, that most people really like routines, so they know what to do and when, how and with who?? I'm amazed at Volvo how most people stay at the same place in the same role doing more or less the same tasks year after year after year.

Normal sounds boring & Swedish. Lagom or mellanmjölkish. I start to feel that lagom-mentality almost everywhere here now, after 4 months back in Sweden and it turns the rebel mode on inside me. Perhaps not every day have to be an adventure, but I want to feel that each day is a little bit special. Routines and lack of new ideas & plans are mental killers. It doesn't always have to be better & better as long as it changes in some exciting direction. So if my work situation is a bit in an idle state at the moment, at least my training & plans for new challenges are moving forward. Also the extention of the family. Baby Goofy was due to arrive yesterday, but he seems to be a cool guy already. No getting-out indications yet ...

If I previously have identified myself a little bit with Goofy, as a happy-go-lucky and easygoing character, I realize that somehow I'm moving towards the Homer Simpson type, being the expected head of the family with lots of responsibilities etc. At least he seems to be in harmony most of the time and is appreciating the simple pleasures in life. That's not to bad. Keep it simple stupid (KISS).
