... a little bit longer and I'm out of here!
My first going away lunch has been planned already. My trusty business manager (hohum) karin is taking me out on my last day here. Well ... Maandag can afford it since I've been here since 2007 for 4500 euro a month.
... how does one do that communicating thing anyway? I seem to be bad at it, if only evidenced by the huge gaps between posts of late.
Obviously, this is due to several things, chief of which is the following: we're having a kid. And thinking about that sort of takes up time. I'm informed that I should do something with that, on pain of pain, so, you know, I may have to write about it on here. To please the masses of followers (1) who oddly enough isn't someone I actually know. Which freaks me out a little, I have to say ...
Anyway, kid. He kicks. As he gets bigger and the housing is getting more cramped his movements are getting more noticeable. And, honestly I have to wonder how in the name of all that is holy this does not hurt the packagaing. The packaging informs me that at most things are uncomfy but I assure you, gentle readers, that from the outside at least it feels like a fucking hurricane in there. Or an earthquake. Belly-quake. And not in the nice Shakira way. Hot damn does he kick.
Anyway, bought cubboards for the kid, for all the junk he needs, which is a LOT ... seriously ... every kid should come with an extra room delivered by the interior design stork. But, yeah, cubboards. Need to finish that room, I feel. Would be nice ...
In other news: I'm leaving Amsterdam and going to work in Leiden. Still via Maandag and yet again with an environmental division of municipal government. 'S a good thing because I'm starting to suffer from Stockholm syndrome here. Besides that, yesterday we were close to having a fist fight in our workplace because people disagreed on the proper and correct procedure to rid oneself of files and folders and since this was supposed to be a cushy deskjob (yeawn) and not a visit to the trenches I'm pleased to leave the in-fighting behind. And probably go elsewhere for other in-fighting. Which will be new in-fighting and I do so love to have changes in my in-fighting.
Also: I'm making new paintings. They aren't comfortable bt rather a bit ... pornographic. Not sure how that happened but I just roll with it. It's fun!
There ... happy, readership?
