I promised myself

That I would keep writing this every 2 or 3 days. So far, so good. With a few minor exceptions, usually one day more than intended, but I think I'm still doing a nice job in keeping everyone posted what happens here. Not always getting feedback from everyone, I know there's enough people regularly reading this.

I have four days to cover, as wednesday evening I wrote my last entry. Thursday, I had my first solo supervisor day in laundry, as Charlotte went off to New York for a few days. I want to go there in either December, or a bit later, in April/May. Depends on two things, one of them being the possibility to go and snowboard in Colorado instead, or having someone over in New York at the time. We'll see when I bite the Big Apple. The day went by pretty alright, doing nothing much again. Just making sure the laundry rooms (one for the collection of dirty linen and one for distribution of clean ones) are all empty or restocked, respectively, and keeping an eye out for the uniforms of all employees, or Team Members, as they like to call them. That night we played a game of indoor soccer again at AM Soccer in Hollywood. Got the shirt back I forgot there the week before, and played a game of 3 vs 3. Other people were unable to come for one reason or another. It was a little Holland vs The World thing as Bart, Marten and myself played Walden, Pedro and Matt. When we were ahead 17-10 another player joined The World, making it a 4 vs 3 match. Ended up with a draw, 27-27, after an hour of playing.
Pedro dropped us off at the hotel again, where our bikes were, and Bart and me drove back to the house.

On Friday I was off, officially, but as there were new team members coming in (see, I use it too, but won't capitalize it anymore) I had to stop by for a few hours to prepare everything for a fitting session and then finalizing all the assigned uniforms and paperwork linked to that. Couldn't get it all sorted out so left Paris a little e-mail for her to work with, if anything.
That night Sabrina picked up Bart and me, and we had a little drink at her house, with her roommate Valeska and some of their neighbors (notice how I have been using American English spelling over the last few paragraphs. It looks weird not to write neighbours, but well). Later that night we went to an Irish pub with live music. Nothing about the pub was really Irish, but nonetheless I had a great night out there. With my paycheck being issued but not added to my account yet, I had to take it easy on the spending for the night, and I mostly stuck around with the people I knew instead of handing out drinks like I do plan to do next time. Might make new interactions a bit easier at times. Anyway. This place at Riverfront started to get emptier around 2:30 or so, and Bart and I took a cab shortly after 3, as we lost Marten and Nina, who had just headed outside after a little incident of some kind, indoors.
Upon arriving at the house again we noticed Yatha wasn't in yet.

That saturday we heard Yatha story about swimming in the ocean and some random pool along the way, and how not-quite-sober he was that night. He also enjoyed himself anyway!
Saturday was spent with Georgi and Bart going to the library to hire some movies for free (yay for public facilities that way) and Yatha and I went for a little run through the park across the street, Victoria Park. Mentioned that in my previous blog too.
Later that day Georgi, Bart and myself went to Galleria Mall to set up an account with AT&T for internet and TV. Should have our own connection and such at October 13th. Everything should be fine then. Setting it all up took us well over 2 hours by the way, things just went wrong at the booth over and over. Little annoying in general, but it got done in the end anyway. Had a good time checking out other shoppers in the mean time. Remains one of my favorite ways to pass the time.
Went to the Publix on the way back to do a few groceries and Georgi later made a rice-beans-chicken dish for the three of us, as Yatha was at work.

This sunday, Bart, Yatha and myself went for another run in Victoria Park, I then got calls from my mum and dad to my phone, and tested Skype with my dad as well. When I get the internet fixed on October 13th, I can talk to more people. It broke down a few times now, with the borrowed net. Yatha and Georgi went to work, and Bart and me watched The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise. Loved the movie! Other than that it's been a sunday in all ways. Easy going, nothing to do or worry about, just playing around.
Laundry again tomorrow. I think I might even be looking forward to it slightly.

And oh! Hollywood Undead is playing in Culture Room on November 10th. I guess I'm going!
