"Pleasure in your job means perfection in your work."

If you work on something and you do it more often, your getting handy in it. I never thought working with wood would be that fun for  a guy with a metal-background. I have a few diplomas for welding, and I worked in four metal/steel factory's, now I'm having fun with wood. Today I made again a child's table and two baby chairs, and it went faster then usual. In the afternoon I had a easy/boring job, I had to saw planks into little pieces, actually the planks were three meters long and I had to saw the plank into little pieces of thirty centimeter. Don't worry it all has been done with a electric saw! But still it was a tough job, the little pieces will be used in another factory.

Today was the day I had to make a desicion about 'the job' they offered me last Thursday, my project leader offered me a job in a steel factory, I had to devide steel. I won't get paid cause it's a internship job (I hope Google translate has it right) The job is a thirty minute bike ride from where I live, that's a bummer and a minus point. The project leader called me today at work and she asked me if the offered job was a yes or a no. I thought about it this morning one more time and I told myself it's a 'no,' the project leader asked me why and what's the reason. I told her that the distance will take to much energy out of me, and I don't think I see a future in this job. I won't get paid aswell, I didn't like to refuse the job offer...

...but I had too. I don't see myself biking three or four half days towards Rijssen. (the city where the job is) It's a internship job, but how long will that take before they take me for good? And do I want to work there for good? To many questions were in my head about this job, and no, I don't want to work there for good. I would prolly have to live there, and I don't want that. There must be something better for me, a better job, I'm sure. My project leader didn't mind the refuse, but I didn't like to say no, but she reminded me to work aswell on myself, think twice before you refuse, the jobs are not growing on tree's here. In the past when I was jobless I refused to many times a job, and I don't want that anymore. Now it's the perfect time for a new job, new goals, a new house, and a new job, perfect! Note to myself: think twice or more oftenwhen they offer you a job, GO for it!!

Funniest little thing today when I got home from work, I came back from work and Ricardo wasn't there, prolly went out with his Mom and Dad. I sneaked out to my room fast (you lil' devil, LOL!) But he found me, just before I wanted to make myself dinner. He knocked on the door and I knew right away it was him, he has a certain knock. "I was just about to make dinner little man," I told him. He bombard me with questions after he first hugged me, "Maybe you can eat with my Mom and Dad, so that your not eating alone, shall I ask?" I told him that I was okay. "I can eat with you, so your not alone? shall I ask my Mom?" That's okay I told him. He went on and on, he asked me how long does it take for you to make dinner, and when are you done, and on and on and on.....

In the end Ricardo run to his Mom while I was prepairing dinner in the big kitchen, he came back with a plate with food and was ready to eat with me. But I wasn't done yet, the potatoes and steak were still cooking and baking. I told him to wait till I'm done with my dinner so we can eat together, I warmed later his food in the microwave. After our dinner Ricardo went a bit naughty spraying with his juice towards another guy and we both told him to stop, but he laughed and refused. The crazy ten minutes of adhd began. Ugh, he was nasty, and I grabbed him gently by his arm and took him upstairs to his Mom and Dad and told them what happend. His Mom took care of him, and wow! I never saw his Mom acting like this, she wasn't violent but did a good job I must say.

I sat with Ricardo's Mom and Dad for a while and Ricardo calmed down, while sitting there I saw a note on the wall! Now here comes the funny part, and a small lesson in parenting. On the note were smileys and some sad faces, with written on it, "I may not shout! If I'm naughty I must stand in the hallway for five minutes! ---> I may not go to Sjon if he wants to rest! <---  Hahaha, that's cute, I laughed when I saw my name, Ricardo is so attached to me it's almost insane. Perhaps that explained all the questions before dinner, he wanted to eat dinner with me! Johannus told me, your almost married to him, he always asks about you. I was touched but I know I have to keep my distance aswell sometimes, I'm not his Dad or parent. It's all good, I know what I'm doing.

Just before I went back to my room, I hugged and kissed Ricardo's  cheek and told him sorry for grabbing you on the arm,and explained him shortly why I did it and that he has to listen, just like his Mom said when he goes to me. "You have to listen to Sjon, do you hear?  Yes, Mom!"
