Okay, so to quickly summarize:
-Still working as an orthopaedic surgeon at a small local hospital in Norway.
-Just bought a new house with my girlfriend, moved in about a week ago. Got the internet working.
-Will probably have a kid soon, we'll see.

Thanks! The tiny 58sqm apartment was getting kinda cramped, so it's nice to have a little more space!

I had two years which were rather demanding, but after that it was rather chill. Having been more driven back then would probably have given my career a faster start, but it's fine, I still managed to pivot later.

We just bought a new house, so I'm in the process of settling in, assembling IKEA furniture and stuff like that, but I'll try to drop by a few times today.

Congrats on the new house! Hope it's nice and spacious. How's things at work?

Well hello Tobbe! Did you happen to rename yourself from Tobbe777? Don't think I forgot.

Congratulations Tobbe!

Hey, congrats! It feels pleasant to read some good news here

Wow that's amazing, congrats!

I think he was Tobbe777 on RZ and Tobbe7 here.

Once again, congrats Tobbe!

It is! Two floors, four bedrooms, huge veranda. I love it!
Things at work are going better. We've been short staffed forever, but we recently got one of our surgeons back from maternity leave and managed to find another one in Romania, so now I may not have to work myself to near death anymore!

I think it was just "Tobbe7", actually. "Tobbe777" might have been on the old RZ.

In other news, I still (kinda) remember how to use BB-code (or whatever it's called )

Fellow new homeowners unite!

Thanks, you guys!

Yeah! Isn't it nice to have a mortgage? Can't believe I didn't try this sooner!

I see, yes my memory is fuzzy between the two boards. I think the BB code is just ingrained in me as a habit. Glad you were able to rename though, for example I'm happy I didn't have to use any extra numbers for my own name.

It was a special favour from teh humch

I said more in the reunion thread on how it went but I suppose I'll continue it here but yeah let's say we're paying a LOT less for mortgage than we were paying for rent, in fact a rent increase that we refused was what got us kicked out of the old place and the landlord lied about it.

Wow, good for you, then! We more or less tripled our monthly expenses by buying our house.

Good news, I hope that at least you got properly compensated for all that "overtime"!

That's good to hear, because the antiquated software that is phpBB probably isn't gonna introduce a visual editor anytime soon. In fact, when is the last time a new feature was even introduced? At least we can be thankful to the few remaining volunteers who still maintain it, but it's sad how nobody else seems to either care of have time anymore.

Fortunately, I did. Our leadership is very fair in that way, thankfully. I've heard plenty of horror stories from other hospitals in the country about people being "encouraged" to work unpaid overtime and extra shifts on a large scale.
