To work or not to work..??

Posted Jul 19, 2000

Back again...
I'm a bit in stress. About two months ago, I emailed with someone who could give me a job. I wrote a letter to make it official, a real nice letter as I may say so..
I heard nothing till one month ago. A lady called me, I wasn't home, so she left a message I could call her..so I did, but she wasn't home, so I left her a message, she called again, I wasn't home, she left a message..I called again, she wasn't home...S**T!! Finally, we got hold of eachother and she said she had a job for me! What great news! First we had to make an appointment..that was a bit difficult to, but we picked a date..The day of the appointment, she called to postpone it..
She also said that there was now an opportunity she could get me a better job! I was interested..again.
This was last week.
This week, a guy called (from the same organisation) he said I could get to work temporarily, if I was okay with it..Of course I was okay with it, 'cause I thought it would make my opportunities for the better job bigger.
Today the lady called again, she also asked if I could get to work there temporarily...
Like you probably are about now, I was really confused now. I don't get it anymore..WHAT job do they give me now, for WHAT time?? WHEN then?? My god....
Friday morning I have an appointment with the both of them (not at the same time, of course, to keep it confusing) and I will get to know things better...I hope..I gave up hoping...
Do I, or do I not get the better job, or have they (quite smart) put me in the lousy temporarily job, making me confused so I wouldn't notice that until it was too late???????
Like I said..I'm in a bit of stress...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today is the first day of my personal page..I feel quite fine about it! Like I said, this week is the most interesting week in Nijmegen, because of the 4-days-walk Summerfests. The whole town is changed in some sort of a festival. People from all over the world visit our town. I remember from last years, that at first I found that very nice. Later on in the week I start to get frustrated: what are all those people doing wandering in MY town! Besides that, I spend almost every night somewhere drinking beer or wine, dancing with friends. I tend to get so addicted, that at Saturdaynight -when the fests are over- you can still find me in some pub..quite sad, eh! So, paradoxly, I have love-hate relation with the Nijmeegse Vierdaagse Feesten (as they are called in Dutch).
