First of all, thank you for all the nice reactions to the new job i got :).
It’s been a while since my last post but the weather has been really nice, some might say to hot. Anyway, I didn’t feel like spending too much time behind the computer. Except maybe the Gamecube Sweety got for her birthday :)
I’m really looking forward to Zandria’s arrival; I’m taking the day of so we can pick her up at the airport. She sent us her flight schedule today. I still need to clean out the car; her suitcases won’t fit with all the junk that’s in there now :)
So, TheJob wanted me to go trough medical examination. Maybe they haven’t read the Dutch or European laws that say it’s illegal to deny somebody a job, based on a medical condition. But since I don’t really have an option, I decided to go ahead with it. So Monday I went to the hospital for an x-ray and blood sample. Next week I have to see the TheJob Health and Safety Clerk. When I’m declared healthy and get my TheJob Health certification. Yeay, another certificate to hang on my wall :) After that we’ll sign the contract and I’ll start September 1st, or the next Monday after that. I’m really excited about it!
At my current job (RIKZ) I got different kinds of reactions. Most of my direct colleagues congratulated me. Some of them asked me to lobby for them when I work there after they hear the part about not paying Dutch income taxes when you work at TheJob. I’ll keep my eyes open for some of them. My supervisor called me today from his vacation address to tell me he heard the news and he expressed some worries about me leaving. He’s afraid things won’t run as smooth without me. He’s probably right…. Just kidding. I think my colleagues will do a great job without me, especially Ms. E. What they don’t know yet: she’s looking for another job also. So are Mr. WJ and Mr. M and Mr. H and Mr. B and….. I’m glad I inspired people stop complaining about RIKZ and take care of themselves :)
