# Can't you have a new temporary contract or something?
Do you speak Norwegian now?

Things are okay. I want to move house but apparently London is hosting the greatest greco roman wrestling tournament in the world soon and so everything is expensive.

# I can have a new temporary contract if I move to a different institution
in the past it was good enough just to change job title but that's the loophole they decided to close. No-one's quite sure what will happen because nothing's been tested in court yet. All a bit of a pain.

I speak less Norwegian now than when I moved here, and I feel a bit more ashamed every day. Someday soon I'll feel ashamed enough to start learning again...

You live in London already, right? Rent out your house and go on holiday! It'll be shit while the Greco-Roman wrestling contest is on anyway, horribly overcrowded, and with traffic that we can guarantee isn't going to move, hastily-built cable cars over the Thames notwithstanding. I'm expecting a massive exodus of Londoners all pocketing filthy amounts of lucre for the duration.

# I think my housemates might be a bit perturbed if the Ghanaian archery team moved into my room for a month
You should learn Norwegian and start your own anti-worker rights political party. Like the Conservative party, only moreso.

# Ah but how if it were four Ghanian *supporters* of the archery team?
No lethal weapons on open display, money in the pocket, holiday in the South of France - job's a good'un.

And I like the cut of your gib. Or jib. However it's spelled. I don't need too much Norwegian, after all, and I can copy/paste from the Tory manifesto. Hmm...

# What about working to the end of the contract, having a one-week holiday over the border and then starting a new one?

# I don't think there's a time limit on it
although I'm going to ask whether this is possible. I wouldn't mind sitting out a week of the winter in southern Italy where at 10 degrees or so it'll feel like the middle of summer...
