101 Reykjavík

I’ve been in Reykjavík for almost 2 weeks now.

I work 8 hours a day at a publishing company. I answer the phone, make orders from stores/schools/towns/farms/the phone, take care of the small super cute store, put away/send bills..the usual front desk kind of thing.

We have two cats that hang about, skinny cat and fat cat. The publisher (also the boss)  is funny and kind of awesome. The cats are his.

Every Friday morning, all the people in the office (we’re about 35) have breakfast together. One of the receptionist girls goes to the bakery and gets all kinds of good stuff. And we drink coffee together and sometimes, we even talk about…you guessed it: books.

my workplace :)

I LOVE THIS JOB. I love working around books. I love the smell of paper and books and ink and Iceland.

I have a whole hour for my lunch break. And I live 2 min away, so that works out nicely. Also, at that time is when Nick usually wakes up so we can talk for a while.

I live with my friend Steinunn (a.k.a Neinunn. Or Goldfish. Or Switzerland) in a tiny apartment.

I hate not having my own place, though. I kind of need this personal space thing people keep talking about.

Anyway, I also hate that Nick is not around. And that we haven’t seen each other for 2 months and 2 weeks. I hate long distance relationships. We’ve actually been more apart than together.

BUT I LOVE BEING HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
