Source text - Danish For få måneder siden var mit liv fyldt med mit arbejde. Jeg havde altid ment at mit arbejde ikke skulle være det vigtigste i mit liv. Jeg ville, at det vigtigste i mit liv, skulle være min familie og mine venner. Men uden at det egentlig var gået op for mig, var en rigtig stor del af min identitet alligevel blevet mit arbejde. Det var så overstået nu, for nu havde jeg ikke noget arbejde.
Jeg må indrømme at jeg var bitter over at have mistet mit arbejde. Jeg var blevet ramt af en diskos prolaps, og imens jeg lå underdrejet, smækfuld af morfin, havde min arbejdsplads så fundet ud af at jeg kunne undværes. Da de ikke kunne fyre mig mens jeg var syg, var de så venlige at vente indtil jeg var kommet tilbage. Det var en hård pille at sluge. Inden jeg blev syg havde jeg været en vellidt medarbejder, der var afholdt, og altid fik ros for min arbejdsindsats og mit arbejde, og pludselig efter at have været syg, var jeg en dårlig og upålidelig arbejdskraft.
Så stod jeg der. En midaldrende kvinde uden arbejde. Hvad skulle jeg nu bruge mit liv til?
Jeg besluttede mig til at tage til Thailand i tre måneder. Få det hele lidt på afstand. Tage mit liv op til revision, finde ud af hvad fremtiden skulle bringe. Jeg lejede en lejlighed gennem internettet i Hua Hin, en lille by, omkring 240 km syd for Bangkok, og drog afsted.
Translation - English Few months ago, my work filled my life. I always thought that my work shouldn’t be the most important thing in my life. I meant the most important in my life ought to be my family and my friends. But without realizing it, my work had become a big part of my identity. It was over now, because now I didn’t have any work.
I must admit that I was bitter, because I had lost my job. I had been hit by a prolapsed discus, and while I was lying, full of morphine, my workplace decided, that I was dispensable. As they couldn’t sack me, while I was sick, they kindly waited until I back at work. It was hard. Before I got sick, I was a respected worker, well-liked, and was always mentioned as being a good and reliable worker. But suddenly after being sick, I was a bad and unreliable worker.
So there I was, a middle aged woman, without any work. How could I use my life?
I decided to go to Thailand for a period of three month. Get distance to it all. Make a revaluation of my life. Find out what the future should content. I rented an apartment through the internet in Hua Hin, a small village, approximately 240 km. south of Bangkok, and went of.
