monkee’s update
One week passed by, one week of no work.
For a workaholic like me a disaster, but I’m enjoying
myself as a free person for the time being. I hope I’ll
find a new job soon, vacation is nice for a short period
of time and I can not say this is a nice vacation. I moved
to Dennis’ place in Utrecht and that’s not over yet. A lot of
things need to be moved and I’ve got till the end of July to
fix that. Tomorrow I’ve got an appointment at the unapploiment
center tingy majingy and I have to start looking for a new job.
Well if somebody is looking for a awesome game chick to work
at their company here is my Curriculum Vitae:
