Yeah, so for those of you who don’t read the blog… shame on you! I’ve started work at a game company in Göteborg (Gothenburg. I just can’t get used to using that name) and life has once again taken a sudden turn. Göteborg is in the south-west of Sweden so in global terms it’s just around the corner, but in more local terms, it definitely isn’t. The trial period is 6 months and Kirsi will be working in Finland until spring. So that means Ill be away from the family for quite some time. Even with the occasion “cheap” flight it makes very difficult to come home. But if all goes well, this time next year the Austins will be moving to Sweden!
Well, with today’s technology, Skype etc. you might say, but it’s harder than you might think. First of all I showed up when a majority of the staff were on vacation, so a lot of stuff (paperwork) couldn’t be done until they got back. Second, I can’t get internet connection without a (swedish) social security number. To get that done means some paperwork and possibly months of waiting.
So ALL internet stuff I do, (Skype chat with the wife, strip updates etc. ) is done on the worksite. Luckily they’re a bunch of understanding people, but I can’t spend ALL day doing my personal stuff so…
Stick with me, there’ll be tidbits along the way and I’ll/we’ll be back!

What a pretty city~!
Sucks you’re away from your family for so long. My parents went through the same thing. My dad had to move for a job and my mom was stuck selling the house. It was pretty hard for us. Over all, I think it helped with their marriage.
I hope everything goes well with you and your family. Best of luck.
Yes, it’s a wonderful city! I look forward to spending more time here. (Especially with the family
)
Congrats and condolences. Having worked away from family I can relate. Best of luck in the new job and getting through the challenges. Granted, having been a “married” fan for a while now I think your family will get through it fine. Thank you for your wonderful comic and being willing to share your wonderful family.
And thank you for being a fan.
Ich drücke alle meine Daumen.
“I’ll press all my thumbs” so we say in Germany.
Still counting…
Best of luck,don’t worry about us we’ll be here when you get back
I hope so. This turn of events has given birth to a lot of new material…
Greetings from Romania:-) Good luck with your new job. Sorry to hear about internet connection problem. I had this problem here and I solved the problem with a prepay sim card for mobile internet connection, it was quite OK.
Ah, the home of melodic death metal.
Good luck with your job, and nevermind us. There are more important things than that, heh.
