Bruges, here we come! :)

Tomorrow, Icky and I will be playing hooky for a day and night, we planned a night in a hotel in Bruges, and the kids will stay with my mum. I think it'll do us some good to get away for a night again, like it did us a world of good going to London. :)

The only downpart is that we are both working the late shift tonight and that we are already extremely tired, so my guess is that we'll sleep through our stay there, good thing we are going there with a gigantic discount! :D

Shoes at work II

Here's an update on the post I once published about shoes at work... the blue ones everyone loved have been replaced by the black and white ones in the first pic. Maybe you can all start bidding on the blue ones... I'll ask the owner to sign them to make them worth millions of euros in a few years time, when he's rich and famous ;)

Clouds... :D

I kind of love clouds, because they give an extra dimension to life, well, in my opinion that is. I really enjoy to see some sunlight through the clouds, like on the picture I took when (again) waiting for the bus with Ilyas.

Clouds can be anything you want them to be...

I was as glad as a toddler getting a candy when I was able to take this picture, it is not of a-class quality, since I took the picture with my mobile phone, but still I was quite pleased with the result.

Boredom...

It has been a while since I have been as bored as I am right now, before my lunch at 12.45 I took 32 calls, it is now 17.19 and I have taken 36 calls, that means that I took 4 calls in the last four hours, whilst I've taken 32 calls in something under 3 hours this morning...

but now I am bored bored bored...

just wanted to share this with all of you ;)

that's not funny...

I'm currently at work haha, funny isn't it!?

Personally I don't see the joke, but apparently one of the customers did. It's a rather busy Sunday, and there are just two of us here, there are some colleagues in Kortrijk as well, but you don't see them, so you forget about them and feel like you have to take the entire queue with only two people. So I answered the man's call as I always do and he then said: "you are working on a Sunday!!??"
K: "yes, we work on Sundays"
customer: "hahaha, that's amusing, isn't it?"
K: "euhm..."

He actually had no real reason to call us, he just wanted to check if we were working, since his sister had a problem with her telephone and could not reach her operator, and he found it rather amusing that he could reach us...
I really appreciated him laughing in my face for me having to work

New mission...

Yesterday I finished early, and had some time before I had to pick up Soufyan and Yaesseen, so I was strolling around the shops in Lier. And there is this shop called "Gekko Reptiles", which caught my attention a while ago, but I never went in, until yesterday... and maybe I shouldn't have... they had this absolutely cute landturtles and of course now I set my mind to owning a turtle, or maybe even two, if it's not too much to ask.

say for yourself, aren't they cute???!!!

Normality rules

My life is normal again... which suits me just fine! :D the weather changed from extremely hot and summery to normal Belgian spring; wind, rain, clouds, which suits me even better!

Last week we caught the rota virus, which is not advisory to have... from time to time I'm still fighting nausea... anyway, it'll be over soon, good thing is that I've lost some weight, so I won't complain too much about it ;)

For the rest everything is quite ok! :D

Last Wednesday Soufyan and Yaesseen had a performance at school, which was absolutely hilarious! Yaesseen had to do ballet and he was really good at it ;)
In the afternoon one of Icky's brothers who was in Europe for a visit came around with his wife and three daughters. This was absolutely nice! I was extremely nervous to meet them, but it turned out great!

By the way, the visit from my friend I mentioned in my earlier post was great. It turned out she grew up as well :D so I needn't have worried! :D
