kribbanWork was good. Not many people called but I got to listen to a few calls. Someone said it was because of the death that not many people called. I put in my three hours, tomorrow I'll get to try the computer programme and answer my first call! I got a ride home from another girl and saw Anna Lindh's big 'yes to euro' billboard on my way to the store. Very odd.
I talked to mom and she works in what used to be the state church, the local church where I was raised and spent most my childhood. She said an elderly couple had come in and wanted to sign a list. My mom and her co workers didn't have one so they had to make one quickly. They printed a photograph of Lindh from the Internet and put it in a frame on a small table in the lobby and made a list that they lay on the table and put up a sign. Apparently all churches have been open and have had lists. Mom and dad said they signed both their names before they left.
Malin came home from training recently and she said that it had been absolutely dead today at work. Hardly anyone has called for a taxi. One of her co workers (who isn't even a social democrat) made an altar also. Another one cried. And the taxi drivers were most upset and cried on the telephone. "In my country the leaders aren't accessible like she was! That is why I love Sweden!" So anyway, that is what things are like.
One of Malin's co-workers said she would change her vote to honour Anna Lindh! Stupid people!!! Malin was furious. "Will you let a murderer decide your vote?" I liked what the leader of the centre right party (that's the most accurate description I can think of) said when asked if he thought this would help the yes side on Sunday: "I hope it affects the election in the way that people honour her by using their right to vote. Because if there was anything she stood for it was democracy." I hope so too.
