"First (exhausted) day at work."

"First (exhausted) day at work."

What  a cold day today, specially this morning. I didn't sleep so well either, I woke up at 3:45 am and I couldn't sleep anymore. I got up and got on the laptop, I sure noticed that it's gonna be a hectic, nervous week. Today could be the day of picking up the laminate or not, it all depended if the loan money was added on my bank account or not. Although all the nerves I had today, the work I did took some of the nerves away. We even danced and sung on some old disco songs from the radio, that was fun!! It wasn't a easy start though the first day at work. But I guess that's normal after 4 weeks of vacation.

Ofcource I spoke about my new house, and ofcource some were making fun and jokes about it, I laughed about it aswell. One guy was telling me that I looked so bad all day and that I didn't do my work well, causeI was to busy in my head with the house and the laminate. It was all jokes, I was nervous about the drive to Ikea to pick up the stuff I need, and the laying of the laminate. I knew who will help me with the laying, and I knew who's gonna help me with picking up the stuff at Ikea. But still the nerves, lol, will he help me? (He is Mark) I still had doubts. Two residents from Humanitas will help out , Mark and Henki., Mark is the only one who has a driving licence and a car. They both offered me, and I kinda asked too though.

Yeah 'kinda', damn, I'm just not assertive enough to go right to a person and ask him or her right away what I want or need. I should actually learn that, or just do it, be assertive! For example I asked Mark to drive with me to Ikea, and I need his help with laying the laminate. When I ask him he has to be in a good mood, and he has to be a bit enthusiastic, otherwise I'm not daring enough to ask him. Mark and his girlfriend do alot for another without sometimess taking care of themselves, there counselor told them that they should first take care of themselves and when they have time then they might be a helping hand. Not a good timing to say that now, right? Cause I need there help. Though they overreact sometimes with helping another one out.

Back to work, like I said it was a nice day, exhausting but nice,even though the nerves. I ask my Boss a few times that I could have a peek on his computer, to check out my bankaccount if my money was there. He was fine with it, he even offered if he could help out with anything. I could get two days of for the moving and the Boss even offered to drive with me to Ikea, nice! My boss has a way bigger car then Mark, but I stay with Mark cause I asked him first and in a kinda way he offered also first. But if Mark is okay with my Boss's offer, then perhaps I will take that offer. 

The day went on and I checked my bankaccount 3 times, but nothing. Even Paula called at work to ask about the money, but I had bad news. After work I drove to Humanitas with Henki, and when we arrived Paula asked us for a coffee with her, cause she was bored. Paula found a nice watercooker for me at her house, but I told her that I already bought one yesterday, it was only 10 Euro. Nice of her to think of me though.  After my dinner I didn't do much, just sometimes checking my mail on the computer. There is still a couch waiting for me, but the seller told me there are first one other buyer perhaps, but they wanted to  have a look first. If they don't want the couch, then the couch will be mine. 

Second, a fridge is aswell waiting for me, the seller told me that he will bring it one of the following days. Were getting there, but slowly. I keep my fingers crossed for my loan, it should be there cause my loan is confirmed. Tomorrow another day with nerves perhaps, but I guess they will be a bit less, cause Mark told me after dinner that if I get the money he has to get a sign and then we will drive to Ikea. Aswell the Reah staff wants to help out, and I got enough people to help me with the laying of the laminate. Roll on week!
