Finally I managed to create some order in the amount of work on my desk. I survived the last check of the yearbook for example and I also found some time to make a long awaited logo (fingers crossed that the client likes it...)
Because of the strike of employees of public transport tomorrow I had to make arrangements to get to Dedemsvaart. Erhard wants me to be able to work so bad that he offered to pick me up in the morning and luckily mom is around to drive me back home in the afternoon.
This morning I had a busdriver who isn't going to strike tomorrow, but he's not able to work, because apparently those who do strike tend to attack the busses. It's ironic that this guy did go to the big demonstration in Amsterdam 2 weeks ago (200.000 people protested against the government) and that most of his co-workers who will strike tomorrow didn't go there. Why were they not prepared to give up a day of work and travel to the capital while they don't seem to have any problem with spending the day in the cafetaria hanging around while ordinairy people and their employers lose time and money because of their strike? It's too easy and this time I really don't agree with their protest. And where can I get the money for the gas, time and waste of energy back?
My work-out this evening was great, despite the unexpected quiet arrival of 'that time of the month'. I spend my night hanging in front of the tv, we watched a lot of lousy programs with stupid people;)

I didn't think yesterday could be topped, but today it was even crazier at work; what a mess. Luckily I got through a couple of easy orders in the afternoon, that made a good impression on my planboard;)
For diner we had the steam-meals mum bought: the chicken and potatoes with rosemary were delicious, but I like my beans to be well done and steam kind of leaves them 'biteable'... But mom loved them, so she had a great big meal;)
Later we went to the arthouse, to get warm after a cold bike-ride and watch a movie (duh) It was an american one for a change: Shattered Glass.
Back at home we watched some tv and video and of course went to bed on a decent time again(?)

A new week, new chances, this time I'm really gonna update this blog every day, honest. See: this was today: a very chaotic monday, new orders were piling up on my desk, while I had to work on last-minute stuff, grr.
At home I found my refrigerator filled with off-price meals, that mum bought, even though we had agreed to empty out the freezer before buying any new groceries. And since I allready had taken meat out this morning we couldn't eat those new meals ... boy I really love living together....
After the delicious meal I cooked :-p we watched Sliders (rerun) and mom decided to come with me to the Sneakpreview. This time it wasn't really a mom-movie (unlike last weeks Wimbledon;) it even was suspiciously quiet in the cinema (most people check the internet for the suprise-title of the movie, I don't because then I might not go and usually I have a nice night out;), but we had an okay time.
At home my computer is acting up, which I hope is only temporary, 'cause I'm really not in the mood for trouble this week...

I am such a lazy cow. Today I had all day available to finally update this blog, but instead I spent it hanging in front of the tv, installing a phone-program on my computer and selecting pictures for a present for mum (it's gonna be a surprise, so don't tell her;)
And now it's already almost 11.30 p.m. and of course now I don't feel like translating all the stuff that happened the past couple of weeks, sigh. So in short: my mum moved out of the house that was our home from 1978. Because her new appartment isn't ready yet, she's staying with me during the week and with her boyfriend in the weekends. I'm still trying to get used to sharing my personal space with another person... but I do like having someone to sit down with for diner;)
That was the biggest event in my life in the past weeks, here are the highlights of this week (all I can manage, I'm sorry)
Monday I went to Sneakmovie 'Wimbledon', which I liked
Tuesday me and mum went to the theater. As a welcome-t0-town-gift I bought her tickets for all the 'new theater companies performances', which means we get to see a suprise play every first Tuesday of the month until april 2005. This week it was called 'A tree only gets applause when it's sawdust' It was a story set in the circus about a lion tamer who suddenly doesn't see the point in making the animals do tricks anymore. She is then joined on stage by her fellow cirucusperformers, who first try to persuate her to quit acting silly and continue with the show, but then start to see the beauty of her decision. Or something like that, the play was open to interpretation, at times it was more some kind of mime and on the bikeride home, my mum had some very different ideas about what happened;) It was an interesting evening:)
Wednesday is my work-out-evening and it was a good one, considering I had missed last week because of muscle-aches as a result of moving house... Mum got fun news about her appartment, they will hand her the key on October 26. (Before she can move in the walls and floor have to be installed)
Thursday we sat down in my personal movie-theater for a showing of 'I Spy', which turned out to be an awful movie, despite (or thanks to) the presents of Eddie Murphy, Owen Wilson and Famke Jansen. A spy-movie-spoof, that was neither funny nor interesting:-(
Friday was a horrible workday, I was exhausted
Saturday I went to see SharkTale, which was dissapointing
and my Sunday activities were mentioned in the introduction to today's blog.
That's all for now, hope I can find time to keep this blog updated, but I'm not making any promisses;)
