A year (un)like any other
Believe it or not: I have actually read a book! ‘Submit yourself to the discipline of writing every day for let’s say thirty minutes.’That was the assignment Kristien Hemmerechts gave to her students. But in reality she gave that assignment to herself. From February 5th 2001 until February 15th 2002 she kept a diary to [...]
Second Interview
After the satisfying first interview it almost went without saying that I would be invited for a second time to further discuss my opportunities in this company. Almost without saying, because although there was definitely a click between the recruiter and me and although my knowledge and experience match with the activities of the company [...]

Party
Saturday evening we had a big party. We were celebrating Julia’s 65th birthday. We had rented community center “De Rondweg”, arranged DJ Silvia, ordered a meal for 61 people and invited our good friend Jos to be the host and ceremony master. Fortunately we didn’t get the usual boring ‘story of your life’ speech. Jos [...]
Job Interview
For a long time I thought applying for a new job was out of the question for me. Everywhere I went, people made a problem of the way I looked. But lately this is steadily improving. I have learned a lot about clothing and make-up. Taking hormones, laser hair removal and sessions at the beautician’s [...]

We had bad weather on Saturday evening. Every now and then it rained and in the distance we heard the rumbling of heavy thunderstorms all evening. That was not very convenient, because we had planned to go and see a theatre performance in the open air on the Philips High Tech Campus. Water breathes, water [...]
Eyebrows
Today I went to my beautician for the second time. I asked her to reshape my eyebrows a little further in a feminine way. That turned out to be quite heavy! She worked on them for at least 45 minutes. And this time it did hurt. But the result is very nice, another great improvement!The [...]

Ice Tea & Tea
Last month I didn’t write a report on the T&T; evening, because I wasn’t there. I was at the Gay Pride Parade instead. But this month I was there again. And again it was my turn to work at the bar. This work starts at 7 PM with moving the tables, checking the stocks, preparing [...]
