* Wedding of a colleague
* Becoming an Ikea expert (well…almost)
* FC
*T-t-thesis

All good things must come to an end…including 5 months at the International Office as a Coordinator again…all pregnancy leaves end at a certain point.
Of course I could see this coming for quite a while, but until long it wasn’t totally clear when exactly would be my last working day and/or if there’d still be a chance for me to stay to do some other stuff for a little while. Well in the end, this didn’t happen…and maybe that was for the better, at least it was just meant to be that way.

Called the temp-agency that paid me for this job early this week to tell them I’m available again, and they had some nice things to offer…but when they said I could easily do a secretary job because that was just what I had been doing at the job I was doing now, I got a bit pissed to say the least. Not that I wouldn’t want to do a secretary job for a while, but what I was doing now wasn’t one!
Anyway, in the mean time I also tried to reach my old manager from the university library, took me until Thursday morning to reach her. But with success, she immediately remembered who I was (always good!) and when I told her I was looking for a job at the moment her first reaction was ‘Oh please come and work here again!’, ha. So, once again I’m switching job to an old one again, I’ll start on Tuesday!

Right after I had this phone call I actually went to have lunch with my (now former) colleagues…my goodbye lunch :) After that we went on our way to Huizen, where colleague Mayke was going to get married. We had heard all about this day for months, so our expectations were high haha! Näh…it was a nice wedding, one according to the books, but in a good way. Mayke looked absolutely wonderful and they were both very happy and that’s all that counts isn’t it?
After the marriage we went to the reception to congratulate the happy couple, and eat cake! No big official wedding cake but good old vlaai as vlaai comes from our most southern province and that’s were both Mayke and now husband Marijn are from, one word… *mjam*

Oh yeah and then earlier in the week, actually starting last Friday, I helped Elise moving a couple of times. No she only moved one time, but I went over to help with things a couple of times. Main thing, after the actual moving of the boxes, was fixing all the Ikea furniture. Elise and me keep getting better and better at this and are thinking of starting our own Ikea-at-home-team, well that is if the rest of our careers fail haha! We were especially proud of the big Pax wardrobe we did, but her new couch was also quite something…It’ll be interesting to see which one of us is the next one to move house again, but the other one is for sure the Ikea-helper again.

Then Cisca was over here this week as well. We made the decision to close down the Fanclub already early this year and Cisca & me have now finally started the closing of the memberships, after that the FC is no more...
A lot around the FC happened this week as well, let's just say that some people like to milk cows even if there’s nothing to be milked anymore. To be honest I don’t care too much…the only thing I care about is that people we still owe something will get this, and they will :)

And finally, I have to work hard on my thesis this weekend…have an appointment with my professor again next Thursday, wish me luck!
