Saturday - shoppingday

Hey everybody,

Today it's Saturday. Yesterday, the day before the weekend was a day I wish to forget about when I talk about work. That day started as normal as always. I did my work as always The only difference was that I was still a bit tired of the day before because we had a Bertolf concert in Nijmegen. It really was great. I enjoyed the whole show and we even had the chance to catch him for a picture. Happy Cyn and me. Cyn send him Steve's greetings. He remembered Steve. So damn cool.

But back to the Friday. After a lonely lunchbreak (I did not care, some rest for my head for half an hour) Arthur asked if I had some minutes time. We went to a small room where Wiljan was waiting. There they told me that DHL did not wanted to give me a new contract. 14th of May will be my last workingday. It was as if they hit me in the face. Why, why, why why.... They told me. First point was the economix crisis, the second was my sick days (it's so my fault that I was hit by that truck) and the last point were my 2 conversations with Monique. All I wanted was to go back home. When Arthur asked me if I wanted to tell it to the rest I told him I could not do it. He did. When I came back to my desk almost everybody was gone. (that were all the smokers). I tried to do the rest of my stuff so I could go home but I just couldn't concentrate. When everybody came back they were all standing around me and putting an arm around my shoulder, trying to comfort me. But all I wanted was to go home. They all offered to do my work for me so I could go home. Marielle said she would help looking for a job. And everybody agreed with that. I walked downstairs with Chantal and talked about it all. She said she didn't want me to go. That when they were al outside taking a sigarette they all agreed that it wasn't fair wat DHL did.

When I got home I broke in tears again. Cyn helped me with signing in on werk.nl and calling the CWI to register that I would be without work after the 14th of May. After that we went to collect some food. I did not feel hungry but I had to eat something. So I took some frieds with Joppiesaus. After eating it all I went to bed with a book. A few minutes later Cyn joined me and we watched Star Trek Deep Space 9. After 2 episodes we put out the tv and talked a bit before falling asleep.

The Saturday started same as always: groceryshopping with my mother in law. I always enjoy the groceryshopping. It just feels good to do it all together with Cyn her mom. In this way she is not doing it alone and I can carry stuff. After putting the bought stuff away we kidnapped her mom. We all went to Oberhausen after putting away our stuff at our place. Geo wanted to take the honda so we did that. After arriving we first went to the toilet. In the iPod store George bought a new nike thingie for in his runningshoes. Hopefully this one will work propperly. Then it was Cyn's turn. Her Fossil watch needed to be repared so we were on our way to the Fossilshop. After that I lost track on the shops we all went in to. Cyn bought nikeshoes because her old ones were getting to old (as you can see when you look at them). I bought a lot more. I had a jacked, Jägermeister shir, cape and sportjeans, some shirts, another pants at esprit, some socks, another 3/4 pants army print and a shirt for me and Cyn at Foot Locker. Cyn bought me a cap at Jack Wolfkins. Halfway the day I received a very nice sms from Norma. Telling me she did not like it was DHL had done and that we would talk about it on Monday. Thnx colleguita!! We ate in a nice Irish pub. Here we 'bought' ;) a nice glass. It really was lovely. After that we ate an Icecream at an Italian Icecreamshop. I had a pina colada. After the eating and the Jack Wolfkins shop we went back to the car.... Well.... Mom and George. Cyn and I needed to have a look in the booksshop ;) ......

Now we are sitting in the car back home and I can say that I really had a great time today.
