From Monday till this morning I was pretty bored. At work we were just idling because key persons were either sick or on holiday. On my free time I was also bored but I managed to do some shopping and I even found new shoes. But today I things just changed.

I was working with new task and I listened music at the same time through head phones. Then I realized that the song playing had excellent lyrics for my mood.

Maija Vilkkumaa - Ei susta huomaa

A part of the lyrics:
"Maailma on suuri mut mitä sil on väliä
avara ja kaunis mut mitä sil on väliä
itse olen aina sama ja aina tässä

Lentokoneet nousevat jyrkästi ja nopeaan
vievät minut kauaksi kotoani nopeaan
vievät minut kauas silti oon aina tässä
en pääse pois
en pääse pois"

A crude translation:
"World is big but what does it matter
wide and beautiful but what does it matter
I am same me always and always here

Airplanes take off steeply and fast
taking me far away from my home fast
taking me far still I am here always
I can no get away
I can no get away"

I think during this week the realism bit me. Even though I like my job it can be boring sometimes. Everyday life can be boring even though I am living abroad. Life starts to follow routines and days repeat each other. And then I think is it anyhow different here than anywhere else?
