Designer cleavage

Nicole came over for lunch after her interview.

We sat at Cafe Fresh where they do make pretty decent sandwiches etc. It's a nice place for lunch.

In the morning they did the weekly (very loud) fire alarm test. However, in the afternoon it went off for real. I had already noticed that in the city, the fire brigade has to drive out a few times almost daily for false alarms. Obviously a lot of people knew this as out of a building that houses hundreds of people only 2 dozen came outside...

Later on we found out the alarm was caused by some one on the third floor making toasted sandwiches.

A bunch of designer dressed girls came out as well. They all had the same height, the same make-up and they all looked like they were ready to go out for the night. It looked odd, not like office people. Later on Nicole told me there are 2 cosmetic companies in our building as well.

Occasions like these are good opportunities to get to chat with your colleagues a bit. Here we see Buddy (left) engaged in conversation with Luke (right). I myself was talking to a bloke called Anthony who was selling a magazine called "The big issue" which is kind of like a home-less paper.

The waiting was less boring thanks to some major designer cleavage right in front of me. The picture doesn't really do her justice.

On the way home we got pizza from Leo's pizza. I don't have any pictures but I feel sorry for Leo and his Mexican assistant. The place looked like it hadn't seen any redecorating since the 60's. It is actually a diner but because no one "dines" there anymore some tables now host a pile of pizza boxes. It was also rather dark in the back. Who needs light without customers anyway I guess.... Leo looked like he had made a few pizza's too much and the girl helping him struck me more as his personal slave (in a professional way) than a colleague. The place was completely... dead.

Oh yeah, this mural depicts the old tram with the less old tram and then cars and busses.

In the evening my aunty Kitty visited my parents and she enjoyed the miracle that is called the internet for the first time. We talked for half an hour and it was fun :-)

Tante Kitty vond het gaaf! Geweldig om haar zo eventjes te zien, haha. leuk dat ze zo even met jullie kon praten. Ik hoorde dat ze eerst helemaal tegen de webcam praatte, ofdat jullie haar anders niet konden horen;-)

@ Kees: Proefcontract?

@ Ma, Ilse: Ja, het was erg leuk om haar te spreken maar het was wel een beetje een kippenhok af en toe. Maar ja, dat gaat snel met Skype, zelfs met 2 personen...
