Best, Nederland. Ora: Belgica
10 min to go. and I really hope I don't get a call :p

good thing though... out of nowhere the manager of my manager (who I'm replacing because he's having a vacation in china) gave me a box with 5 different bock beers :)
Just because he appreciated the effort I was making to keep things from derailing.
Netjes! :)
yeah I'm glad I got the beers, gave me a big mental boost, and no the boost wasn't because I drunk them all :p

:D:D:D


Sick. Fever now...

I'm back finally.

I was afraid I'd continue to get some useful things done around here! In the time I was without a computer/the internet I managed to leave the house three times, find all the food/consumables words in my German/English dictionary, colour-code each word according to its gender and copy them six times in different groups/orders.

Tip: if you like multitasking, just spam German words here. It helps. :D Plus it'll help others like me who are learning it too.

Once I counted to a hundred in German here. Pretty much knew it all by the end. :D

Wow.. I take it you didn't get travelers insurance? I'm always paranoid that something will happen to me when I travel so always have the backup plans just in case I have to pay some medical bill I can at least get something back. That's REALLY expensive! I'm glad they seemed to fix you up anyway ;)

I did have travel insurance, hence the nice cheque in the mail. What I didn't realise (until the nurses told me) was since it was a relatively small bill (considering), I was in and out in a pretty short amount of time and I didn't have European medical insurance (or something like that) I had to pay the whole lot up front then contact the insurance company later, jump through a few hoops then hope for the best. Must say it was (excuse the pun) a hard pill to swallow at the time since I had been under enough stress since leaving Bloodstock as it was without having to deal with all of that in a foreign country by myself.
