Nå fikk jeg flashback, til 70-tallet, da jeg var guttunge, på besøk hos min mors foreldre i Nevlunghavn.
Jeg var vel 6-7 år, kan jeg tenke meg.
Og de som var var der, en sommerdag, det var bestefar Johannes, bestemor Ingeborg, min mor Karen og min søster Pia.
Og bestemor Ingeborg, prøvde å bryte meg ned.
Hun var streng da.
Og det var noe greier med godteri og sladring.
Og søstra mi, som var kanskje 5-6 år, hun var med på det.
Det var noe med å ta et gresstrå, eller siv, mellom leppene, og dra, og da gjorde det veldig vondt, i munnen.
For det sivet skar opp munnen da.
Jeg var nedtrykt av kjefting fra bestemor Ingeborg spesielt, og de andre.
Søstra mi hadde egentlig tatt det ‘trikset’ med sivet, på meg, en gang før, da vi var med mora vår, på stranda i Larvik.
Hun sa at noen gutter hadde lært henne et triks.
Men det kan ha vært mora mi.
Så var jeg nedtrykt.
Så tok søstra mi det trikset med sivet igjen.
Og jeg var nedtrykt, så jeg viste jo at jeg kom til å få vondt.
Men jeg var nedtrykt, så jeg gjorde det likevel, for søstra mi var så ovenpå, og de andre var så ekle mot meg da.
Så begynte jeg å grine da, for jeg var nedtrykt fra før.
Så gikk jeg til bestemor, som jeg visste hadde godteri.
Hun satt der med mora mi og morfaren min.
Og bestemor hadde tidligere kjefta på meg, for sladring på søstra mi.
Så dette var nok et plott fra bestemor Ingeborg, for å sjekke om jeg sladra på søstra mi.
Som mora mi og morfaren min visste om.
De satt ved utebordet, utenfor det hvitmalte huset.
Men jeg huska det, at bestemor ‘gura’, hvis man sladra, så jeg sladra ikke, selv om jeg var nedtrykt.
Og min morfar, han rista på hodet, at han ikke kunne se ditt og datt, i mitt utrykk da.
(At jeg ikke var helt nedbrutt, mener jeg).
For jeg likte ikke bestemor Ingeborg, uansett hva man gjorde, så var det feil.
Jeg syntes det var bedre på Sand, hos bestemor Ågot.
Så jeg tok ikke til meg så mye av hva bestemor Ingeborg mente om meg.
Helt fra jeg var 3-4 år, og mora mi og den tidligere stefaren min, Arne Thomassen, skulle til Malorca, ganske tidlig på 70-tallet.
Så måtte jeg være hos min mors foreldre, på Sætre i Hurum.
Mens søstra mi var hos min fars foreldre, på Sand, i Svelvik.
Og jeg var så sur, for jeg ville heller være hos bestemor Ågot på Sand da.
For bestemor Ingeborg, hun er så streng og ubehagelig å omgås.
Hun er så hakkete, at hun hakker på psyken ens, og prøver å bryte en ned nærmest da.
Så det er mulig at de brøyt ned Pia.
Hva vet jeg.
Pia, mora mi, og Johannes og Ingeborg, var nok med på det her, å prøve å bryte ned meg.
Som noe Illuminat-greier, antagelig.
Men de klarte ikke det.
Jeg beholdt fatningen da.
For jeg fikk et adrenalin-kick, for jeg visste hvordan Ingeborg var.
Så jeg bare stålsatte meg, og regnet ikke med å få noe trøst, hverken av Ingeborg, eller mora mi.
For de var litt sånn umenneskelige, nærmest.
Morfaren min var også litt spesiell, men han var vel ikke like umenneskelig, tror jeg.
Han var nok under bestemor Ingeborg-åket, hvis jeg skulle gjette.
Så sånn var nok det.
Så da ble jeg sendt for å leke for meg selv, helt øverst i hagen, i en steinrøys der, siden de ikke klarte å bryte meg ned.
Da var jeg kanskje 5, 6 eller 7 år, vil jeg si.
Så sånn var det.
Med vennlig hilsen
Erik Ribsskog

Hi,sorry that I'm asking a lot of questions.But now I'm also enclosing my grades, from two university-colleges, in Oslo, so that youcan see, that I have good grades in Computing and also some business-modules.So I'm going to explain more about these skills as well, on my CV.Also, my problem is, that my Home University in Norway, Oslo University College, theydon't want to send me a 2 or even a 3 year bachelor degree in computing, which I thinkthese files qualify for.So I feel a bit stupid, when I apply for work, since I haven't got a degree, due to this.But now I'm also contacting NHI/NITH, so maybe that university-college, have theopertunity, to send me a degree.But, when I studied, we had groupt-assignments, so I did most of the difficult Java-programming and perl-programming etc.But I didn't get to learn web-design that good, since we had group-assignments.So I dealt more with programming, and this took much of my time there, on the groups,so I didn't get to learn web-design and PHP that well.So that's why I was wondering about this again.Thank you very much again, for the help with the CV!Yours sincerely,Erik Ribsskog———- Forwarded message ———-From: Erik Ribsskog <eribsskog@gmail.com>

thank you very much for your help with the CV, it looks very brilliant now!I'm just a bit conserned, now it looks a bit like I have holes in my education and work experience.Aren't companies going to wonder what I was doing before 1998, and after I finished studying?And shouldn't I write that I won the famous Food shop-manager contest, in Norway, in 2001, in Rimi,'Rimi Goldmines', and things like that?But other than that, I thought the CV was very fine!Thank you very much for you help with this.In our meeting, a couple of weeks ago, we talked a bit about courses.I've studied computing, for several years, but when I look at the vacancies now, very many companiesare looking for people who know PHP.We talked about, in our meeting, that the Jobcenter had some courses, that could be available to me,since I unfortunatly has been unemployed for some months.But is it right that you have courses in web-design and/or PHP, you think, since I see that manycompanies advertise for people who knows PHP, so I thought to take a course in that would bevery useful for my chances for getting an interesting and challenging job.Or should I bring this up in the review-meeting later this week, at the jobcenter?Thanks again for your fine help with the CV!Yours sincerely,Erik RibsskogOn Tue, Jun 16, 2009 at 1:03 PM, Margaret Hudson <Margaret.Hudson@connexionslive.com > wrote:Hi Erik

connexionslive.com Hi Margie,
I'm refering to our meeting at the Job-center at Williamsons Sq., last week, and I'm enclosing
a copy of my revised CV, as agreed.
I've added a column called 'Personal Profile', on the CV, like you adviced me to do.
Is it right that you also want me to remove some of my work-practise, from my CV, since it's
many years since I worked in my first jobs. Isn't it valuable for new employers to also be able
to see which jobs I had, some years ago, to see that I've always been working/studying etc?
We also discussed cover-letters, and I thought I'd use something like the Person Profile on
the CV, as a cover-letter. What do you think is the difference between what should be in the
cover-letter, and what should be in the personal profile on the CV, by the way?
Thanks again for the fine advice in the meeting, and sorry that it took some days for me to
get this done!
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog
