Being a superhero... again

Last Friday (12th August) I found a wallet on the bus.  Amazing how these things always seem to happen to me!  I didn't give it to the bus driver and I didn't pass it to the police because of my previous experience losing my wallet.  So what I did instead was that I kept the wallet with the intention of returning it to the owner myself.  Losing a wallet really sucks ass and turds.

Lost your wallet?  Never fear Supes is here!

Turns out returning the wallet was a bit tricky.  I had a name but I could not find them in the telephone directory.  And I sent them a friend request on facebook but there was no response.  I contacted a friend of theirs and passed a message to them to contact me but that didn't work.  So I had the brilliant idea of creating a new profile called Ms M's Wallet with a picture of said wallet and lo and behold, friends instantly!  If that didn't work I was going to pass it to the police.

The girl actually lives 500+ km away from Oslo.  She's only visiting Oslo and staying with a friend who lives in Bekkestua which is 2km away from Stabekk.  She was going to go back home tonight!  So anyway we made an appointment to meet at 11:45am at Rimi Stabekk but she was late and I didn't meet her till 12:30pm.  To kill time I was window shopping in a sports shop and bought chocolates from Rimi.  I met her friend first actually, for some reason I just knew it was her friend.  Ms M wanted to give me money but I said to keep it in case she loses her wallet again. ;)  So instead she gave me a hug.  And I can certainly live with that. ;)  I also gave her the chocolates I bought in Rimi.  Yes I am just too nice.  You can just call me Superman!  She also sent me an sms with a <3.  I guess that's a good thing.

So that's my story for now.  Stay tuned to hear about the story of my haircut.

Work permit approved plus some randomness

My work permit's approved!  I am now officially authorised to work here for 3 years.  Tomorrow morning I'll be going to the Sandvika police station (again) and hopefully for the last time to get another stamp in my passport.  Now if only they would hurry up and approve my national id so I can open a bank account!

On to some randomness, this morning whilst walking to work I picked up someone's fitness card that was sticking out in the snow.  I googled the name behind the card and turns out it's one of my neighbours, they live about 650 metres away.  I sms'd and later rung them to make sure it was the right person, so tomorrow morning before catching the train to the police station I'll take a detour and drop it off in their mailbox.  I even wrapped up the card and put in some chocolate pieces because I can.  Oh, the random things I do for strangers.
