[Amy Grinstead @ContentCPH]

Finally time for a lil job update! Super happy to be starting today as senior digital experience writer at @IKEA 💡

It’s a company I’ve loved for so long, and commuting over the bridge from Denmark to Sweden is SO EXCITING to my little English brain 🇩🇰🇸🇪

@omDSB Hej! Hvorfor har du ingen oplysninger om Öresundståg-strejkerne nogen steder?

[Amy Grinstead @ContentCPH]

The great thing about learning Danish is that I finally get to live out my anxiety dream of finding myself in a language exam that I have 0% chance of passing

[Amy Grinstead @ContentCPH]

Bye Irma 😢

@LauraParkerUX I have nothing official, but personally yes to all 3!
I deal with Danish and Swedish public services, and anything I can do online is great because it means I don't have to struggle on the phone, or get stuck in a recorded message I can't understand.

[Amy Grinstead @ContentCPH]

@LauraParkerUX I used to use this pretty often, and share it with colleagues. https://t.co/bAj5KnQb4B

(also anecdotally from arriving in a country with very little of the language, and same for friends and colleagues too, the Google Translate 'translate this page' extension gets used A LOT)

@robin_parker If you have kids with you, I've heard the Disgusting Food Museum is supposed to be decent 😅 and if you have time, it can be worth walking to Västra Hamnen (new built area) to see the Turning Torso building

[Amy Grinstead @ContentCPH]

@robin_parker Stortorget, Lilla Torg and Gustav Adolfs Torg especially. If the weather is good, there's a nice walk through Slottsparken and around Malmö castle, that I think you can go in. And a decent food hall, Malmö Saluhall

[Amy Grinstead @ContentCPH]

So many fields, so many calculators, so many opportunities to just really fuck it up 🤡

[Amy Grinstead @ContentCPH]

Highly recommend changing to a new job because you love the company and want to feel creatively inspired again.
Unless you live in Denmark and the new job is Sweden, and you're a foreigner struggling with your tax return (forskudsopgørelse). Then you're just an idiot.

Last day working in Sweden of the year and the buses wished a merry Christmas 🎄

[Amy Grinstead @ContentCPH]

@TimTugendhat Sounds like you need #duvetknowitschristmas

[Amy Grinstead @ContentCPH]

@JoeGlombek @umbraco Yay! If you're in the town centre, La Cabra has great coffee and their bakery on Borggade is also very very very good

[Amy Grinstead @ContentCPH]

@JoeGlombek @umbraco Ahh enjoy Aarhus dude! ❤️🇩🇰

[Amy Grinstead @ContentCPH]

@TimTugendhat I always appear when someone sends the salty fish signal

[Amy Grinstead @ContentCPH]

Weeeelllp, I’ve had a good scroll back through the years and old DMs, in case it’s the end.
The best times have been Eurovision twitter, UK weather twitter (especially #DrummondPuddleWatch), and #duvetknowitschristmas
