T.G.I.F.

Thank God It's Friday! I just came home from having dinner with my co-workers in Amsterdam. We had some business to discuss and we decided to do it over dinner. You see on April 20th our down period will be over. From that day on we will be on duty again and can be called up to travel abroad. The relaxed life will be over! I really enjoyed my down time. I mean travelling is fun and all, but being able to go home everyday is priceless. Our team (team #3) and team #1 are going on duty, while team #2 and team #4 are going down for a well-deserved resting period of 2 months.

Our last trip was to Beijing that ended on January 19th. The flights that I made to Kuala-Lumpur/Jakarta, London Heathrow, Manchester and Aruba/Bonaire don't count, because they were part of the down period. Working in another country is considered duty.

So after work I came home showered and changed and headed to Amsterdam. There we met up with members of the other teams. Team #2 and #4 had to inform us on what they were doing, as we would be taking over their jobs in 12 days time. It was fun. The food was good and the drinks were flowing.

Around 02.00, we decided to call it a night and I took a train to R's house in Rotterdam. R. is already sleeping and now I am also heading to bed.

Goodnight and enjoy your weekend.
