Thank you, BooFae, Dopers are so much better than the dictionary!
Oooh! Exciting news! 'im indoors has a telephone interview at lunchtime for a job in Belgium. If it goes well, he could be off to Brussels tomorrow for a face-to-face interview on Thursday morning and they want someone to start straight away. Woohoo! Keep everything crossed, folks!
crosses lots of things
Brussels is real pretty, too! Very visiteable city!
(is a word too)
The job is south of Brussells, in the Louvain area but I’m sure equally pretty and visitable. Yes, I’m declaring that a word! He worked in Belgium before for five years, but that was in Antwerp which is why we go back and visit there quite often. I really hope he gets this one, it will be a big boost for him because he’s been out of work for over a year now. We’re not struggling because of that, but he is bored at home and getting depressed over the whole lack of job thing.
Currently, it looks like he may be getting ready to work in a Civil War Zone… :eek:
OK, a Belgian-style Civil War, but still… 
If it’s a Belgian civil war, will he even notice?
Various appendages crossed!
Of to cleanse.
The streets will be knee-deep in chocolate and waffles!!! :eek:
That’s the kind of civil war I could get behind. Do I have to take sides? What about the frites and mayo?
You make it sound like this is a bad thing.
Nah, it’s supposed to be a Civil war. This stuff isn’t civilized!
There are all kinds of “bad” things you can do with chocolate.
And don’t even get me started on the Maple Syrup… 
Oh really?
My birthday’s coming up. Can you give me a hint as to a few of them? :p:D
But it’s the perfect snack for wandering round the zoo curing your hangover…
Chocolate, of course, covers a multitude of sins - but you’re advocating being bad in a good way. Is that your means of corrupting the young and innocent?
You know Nooner, he won’t give you hints but he will offer you a practical…
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienated!
Special1 shows up and the place goes right in the gutter!
Somehow I imagine a Belgian Civil War to be sump’n along the lines of each side insultin’ the other’s taste in crystal stemware.
Don’t forget the beer.
:: keeps stuff crossed ::
Chocolate and waffles, mmm.
Making the Pioneer Woman’s lasagna. I’ve added spinach to make it just a teensy bit healthy.
Ah, a person speaking from experience! 
That’s a step up, right…?
That goes better with the frites than with the chocolate and waffles, though.
But yes, mmm, Belgian beer! 
Stop changing the subject! We’re talking about Belgium, not about Italy!
Up, caffeinated, off to work.
: waves at Lunch :
: crossed appendages for 'im indoors :
Blurf. I did not dream of waffles, chocolate, or Lambic beer last night.
I have a suspicious wet spot in my yahd. Alas, I will be stopping at Lowe’s on the way home for plumbing parts, because I believe my water line has sprung another leak. At least it is outside this time, instead of under the house. :rolleyes:
I’m grumpy today, so I don’t have much else. Carry on.
