You can do it because … no, I can’t concentrate because images of cheerleaders keep filling my brain (thanks yojimbo! )
tatertot,
I’m chuffed you enjoy your job. But you’re no 2, I’m afraid.
Look at my profile. Now consider I’m the only full-time School chess teacher in Britain. I also teach roleplaying and computer games. Last year we came 5th in the National Schools Chess, runner-up in the European zone of the World Schools Internet and won the National Schools roleplaying. (For this last, we received a free trip to America).
Beat that! (Unless you’re head taster at a chocolate factory…)
I think you are incredibly brave. You work with (shudder) numbers and (involuntary twitch) money. And you maintain your sanity and sense of humor, as evidenced by your postings.
I am currently training to break into the world of business, and I hope I will be able to cope as well.
(Me too, tatertot, I want to know what your job is.)
Things are running smoothly. The Turk is dead and is lying on the ground in a smoldering heap of human flesh. At least he died knowing what Return on Solvency is
BTW, this happens to be a deal for an Irish sub of a Turkish bank. So I’m boosting the Dutch economy AND extracting tax income from the Irish Ministry of Finance. I feel so proud.
Plus, Mark Huizinga just won the Mens Judo Gold Medal in the -90 kg class! Go Holland!!
OK, guys, I’m off to crunch some numbers again. Lord knows I deserve my bonus this year!
As an added bonus to your daily activities, you should squat over the dead Turk and slice off hunks of meat from his thighs. Start a fire in a waste basket, and chow down.
Unexplainable chanting during a meeting stirs things up nicely too.
Paint you buttocks blue, insert a daisy between your cheeks, and run around the room balancing a jug of water on your head, screaming…" The Von Trapp family ate my sandwich!"
Oh yeah…you’ll get a bonus this year all right.
Way to go, Dutch-boy. You should make sure to make your bonus a factor of the revenues you pull in. Heck 1% of this account alone would set you nicely for the year.
Oma in Milsbeek, Aunt & family in Mook. Other Aunts in Gennep and Deventer.
I’m pretty sure my mother was born in Arnhem, but I wouldn’t swear to it, it might be Nijmegen. I used to visit every four years. I learned how to sail in Friesland when I was 12, but, regretably, I don’t speak the language. Was never taught it and could never find courses for it in HS, college or since.

I’m hoping you have a great day, but you don’t have to smile (I know some folks hate being told that, ya’ know).
Thanks for keeping me sane today, guys. You all rock like a bunch of hurricanes!
thinksnow, how cool! My family is from Arnhem too, originally. Not me though. But I know the area well, it’s a very nice part of the country. Great that you visited so much - and glad you liked it here.

I also teach roleplaying and computer games.
