My wallet, driving license and passport are missing. I think they got stolen at my work, but I don’t want to dwell on it. I would hate it if I found out that somebody I’ve been helping stole my stuff. Today I went to the police to get a letter saying I lost my papers. Then I had to go to city hall to tell them that I lost my papers, prove that I was me, pay 150 euro’s and wait for 5 workdays. I surely hope by next Thursday everything is in order, because Friday I have to go to France for a wedding.

I stopped working in Germany last year August and said so in an email, a fax and a letter. Looks like I’m still able to go to a German dentist, physician, or God forbid a physiotherapist. I despise bureaucracy.

Ok, I admit it. I’ve got a problem when somebody tells me I have to do something. Unless of course it’s somebody from the female persuasion in my close group of friends and or family. With the proper voice, correct posture and logical … never mind. It just goes to show that I do not only have an authority problem I have a complex authority problem.
My first reaction to the must-word without listening to what is actually being said is; I do NOT have to do anything. Or as the literal translation of a friend of mine goes; I must nothing.

Sit down and gather around me and I’ll tell you a grueling story about…a pension plan mixed with a pinch of bureaucracy. Being in the Netherlands again as a physiotherapist I was informed in August 2008 by the SPF (Foundation Pension plan for Physiotherapists) that I had to join their superannuation fund. Bladibladibla… so now I’m very pissed because I’m right and they are wrong.

Friday after work I drove to Froukje. After a lovely diner we decided to go to a pub for a drink. One drink became two, became three, etc…
This morning we slept in, had some breakfast, slept some more, did some chatting and finally…had a nap. I can say I am thoroughly rested now.

In the evening I wanted to go to Merijn and help him out with his mother’s house. I went to my car and what do you know? Somebody smashed in a window and took out my tomtom. I know, I shouldn’t have left it in the car. To whoever did it, I hope you enjoy it.
Luckily somebody came over to put in a temporary window, because he did not have a new one for my Yaris.

This gave me a chance to meet a friend Froukje who I otherwise wouldn’t have met.

I love buying over the internet. It is so incredibly fast. You see the washing machine you want to buy, you click on it, you pay via your back account and voila six weeks later you have what you want.

A perfect morning with sun and a mild hangover. Going to the supermarket to buy some stuff. Unfortunately there are a lot of people who decide to do their groceries this morning. Parking lot full so I park a little further. I come back and what do I see under the windscreen wiper?

Wraaaghhh, a perfect day ruined.
