Ok, mom contacted the mobile operator, and those nasty sms messages have stopped now. That's good.

Also, it was very pleasant to wake up to the sight of first snow. 'twas about time :)

My brother's been screwed.

To cut the long story short, some bad people have got ahold of his cell number, and have been sending him blank texts. The problem? Those texts cost 7 Euros a piece to receive. We don't even know how that happened, but he likes to oder DVDs and stuff from the internet, so that's the most likely way. We've already ( Read more... )

Today was the last day of my service. Well, technically not, but the HR department wanted to get rid of those vacation days I still had left, so all there's left to do is to go and pick up the certificate of the accomplished civil service on the 15th, and then I'm officially a free man.

It does leave me a bit sad though. It's a pleasant workplace ( Read more... )

Whew, this week was busy, but it paid out rather handsomely.

First off, the HR department noticed that I have way too many unused vacation days on my account, so next week will be off, and most of the following two as well. Not that I complain, though, even if four working days in three weeks seems a bit silly way to end a civil service. Oh yeah, ( Read more... )

You think you got a problem? Take a good look, pal.

Haven't posted for a long time, have I? Not that I have much to write about nowadays, but let's give it a try anyway.

First off, the civil service that I'm currently doing will soon come to an end, at November 15th to be precise, which has been putting a bit pressure on me lately, since this is the first time since...well, since ever when I've just ( Read more... )

I had a chance encounter with wildlife last night.

I went to balcony to cool off after a workout, when suddenly there was this flapping sound, and then a bat swoops over my head, pretty damn close I might add. Didn't see it well enough to identify the species, but it was a bat alright.

A bat...a damn living bat. I've never even seen one in my life, ( Read more... )

( Just a thing that's been brewing in my head for some time now )

Just a little dialog from yesterday that I found rather amusing:

Bro: Hey! Where are the tick tweezers?
Me: In the vestibule cupboard...Wait, Rita has ticks?
Bro: Yup. *turns her over* See? There's at least six of them attached.
Me: ...
Me: Those are nipples, dumbass.

To his credit, he's not the first one to make that mistake. Mom once thought they were ( Read more... )

In a normal day in an office you don't get to haul dead animals around. Well, looks like today was not an ordinary day.

The municipal vet has her practice in the same building where I work, and sometime after 12 she showed up into the mailing center, looking for help to haul a 45kg  Rottweiler that she had just put down. Guess who volunteered for ( Read more... )
