Occupation
I left school in 1971 after taking the extended technical preparation
exam. This line in school existed for only a few years, and today it
is not known by many. It was an intermediate between a real exam and
the usual 8-10 class. I then learned as a radio mechanic on Sunds Radio
"TV v / Kaj Hansen in Sunds, where I was until 1976. In the same year
I earned my military service at the CF barracks in Herning, but had
a lot of work next door. I still work as a radio mechanic, but at the
Hi-Fi Center in Herning, until I changed work in 1980. I was now behind
the counter to sell the equipment.
A couple of years later - in 1982 I got to work at the insurance company
Alm. Fire. The work consisted of outreach sales of private insurance,
and during the following four years the basis for my work in the insurance
industry was laid. In 1986 I came to Eurodan house as a sales consultant.
Here I was until 1988. At that time, the construction industry was in
a new crisis and I chose to find another job. The choice then fell back
to the insurance industry, where I was hired in Plansikring. Later,
this company was taken over by the German company Provinzial in Kiel,
and the name was later changed to Provinzial Denmark. In the following
years I studied at the Insurance Academy in Rungsted. This exam was
in house on April 24, 1992. It was 13½ good years until the company
was taken over by Alm. Brand, and I was back in the company where I
started. The party was over, especially when the person responsible
for the transfer of Provinzial Denmark was not someone you could trust
over a threshold.
On October 1, 2001, I started at Topdanmark. The first years were really
good, but as the years went by, the tone became more and more shrill.
The sales management had not yet discovered that no trees grow into
the sky, and instead of taking care of the customers and employees you
have, they did not care about both employees and customers. Here I was
until May 2009, when I retired a little involuntarily. In the following
years I have not had any work, and now that the age pension of the population
is approaching, it does not happen either. I enjoy being in Bangkok,
taking care of my small garden and otherwise enjoying the good weather
on the balcony
Retiree
In July 2019, I turned 65, and should be entitled to a state pension.
It just wasn't quite like that. I became a pensioner, but for my own
bill. The state has changed the rules for when I can get money for that,
the country should preferably be able to afford shelters and work shocks
migrants from the Middle East and Ivory Coast. Then I have to take as
it is.
Below is a very old quote that I found many years
ago. The boring is just that it still applies 2000 years later.
We worked hard, but every time we began to work, new plans
for reorganization were launched. I learned later in life that we
are inclined to meet any new situation through reorganization. And
I also learned what wonderful method this is to create illusion
of progress, while it actually causes chaos, inefficiency, and demoralization.
