Finally....
I really have to pay some bills, remember where I was staying in the month January? That little summer house in Haarle? It was 40 Euro a day, I thought, "Oh? That's an okay price." But counting it all up, all the weeks I stayed there, (almost 3 weeks) woow! And some other bills are waiting to be paid, welcome to the world of bills Mr.! I still remember when I told the guys here that I have a guilt of a little 1000 Euro, and that they all laughed so hard. The 1000 Euro's was nothing comparing what they still must have to pay for there guilts. It made me less worried.
I just can't believe the weather today, it's more then 16 degrees outside, and the sun is high in the sky. Normally before Easter we have this kinda weather, those extreme warm days, and it's only still March. I'm not complaining, I packed away most of my winterclothing today. I started with my huge Canadian Tire winterboots, a month ago when I still had them on they all looked at me, cause they are so big. Ah! these Dutch people here are not used to those Canada's big everythings!
I noticed that I'm slowly adjusting to Holland again, but I must say the people in Canada are much opener and kinder to each other then here. Dutch people are not so open, usually they wont greet you here while walking in the streets. It's not to be unkind, but they are just not used to it I guess. In the past when I was little, the people, specially the farmers would invite you easily to there home for a coffee, or even for lunch or dinner, the door was always open for strangers. Time surely has changed.
Today was a resting day, but there were some cleaning chorces to do aswell, and usually it's always the same people who do it. The rest of the people will sneak out just to be lazy, sigh! I don't mind the cleaning chorces, but I don't like that some people sneak out. There started some new rules here with cleaning chorces, everyone has to do there own section. Every section here has a color, there is section one, first floor, (red) section two, second floor,(green and red) and section three, third floor (yellow). I'm on section two second floor (green).
It's weird though cause section red is on the second floor, and I'm on the second floor aswell, but I have a green door. On section two they have two colors, at the end of the hall on the second floor starts section two with red and flows into the color green. (are you still there?) If I have a cleaning chorce now I have to do only a cleaning job in the green section, in the beginning I cleaned what ever was dirty, then later on only what was dirty on the second floor. Now only the green section, I did the kitchen floor and the dinning room floor, what a job! Next week the guys who sneaked out can do it!
Tomorrow at work a lady from UWV will visit me, remember UWV? The people who made such a trouble and mess with my monthly income? sigh, anyway. This lady will help me with intergration to a proper job, in other words, she will help me to get a better job, a job what will fit me and will pay me. The job I do now is a project from Humanitas, this project is called Reha. Reha looks what your able of while your working, of cource you work and make selling products, but I work there for 'myself.' The UWV lady will lead me to a new intergration project and hopefully I will end up with a nice job. In the meanwhile I will be still at work at Reha. Hope this makes sense...
I'm feeling good and better, sometimes I have the feeling that I should contact Saf, just to ask how she is doing, nothing special. It won't do harm just to ask how she is or how the kids are, I'm just not a guy who likes to ignore people. Specially ignoring your friends where you spent so much time with. I don't know yet, I think one day I will just contact her or not, I don't know. (Thinking up loud now) Maybe it's better to let them be for a little while, it's better for both of us.
