Few things put together

maart 15, 2010

Friday i called in sick. I blogged before about how my head was spinning all the time and friday was worse then ever. When i got home from work i just couldn’t stop crying and i felt terrible. It felt like i had flu, so i thought it was best to call in sick and stay home.  Satruday morning i stayed in bed for hours, which i never do. I always get out of bed the minute i’m awake, because i always think i have so many things to do. But not saturday morning. I woke up around 8 and only got out around 11.30 am. Which felt good for a change, but not something i want to do all the time. Now, i feel much better. I can even smile again without bursting into tears.

Haven’t seen my interview online yet. So i can’t say anything about that. I really hope the pics she took are a bit decent. I always feel like i look like a fool on pics. There are only a few pics of me that i really like. And no, that’s not the one that my mom made me take with her. We were on a market last year together when a photographer wanted to take a picture of us together. While i think i look good in it, i look an aweful lot like my mom… Can’t say i like that very much :/

Still have 5 books to release. I wanted to release those with the interview, but the weather wasn’t great, so i rather stayed inside.

Yesterday i heard the news that a older woman was killed in a nearby apartment building. How i love Twitter. Now you don’t have to go out to catch up with the latest news around your area. I now am wondering who it was and if i know her. WANT NAMES! Please! Nothing wrong with a good gossip, right?! Mom in law hasn’t called about it yet. I wonder how long it’ll take before she calls me. I think around noon today is a good bet. Or maybe my mom knows something by the end of today. She worked in that building a few years ago.

Do i have anything more to blog about? Not really. I already told you on Twitter about the hot (and i mean really HOT) guy i saw in a car on friday. Nothing more to add there :D

Interview about BookCrossing

maart 10, 2010

Today was my interview with the local newspaper. The journalist was very interested in BookCrossing and loves to read, so we talked about books for a while before getting to the BookCrossing bit.

I told her about how i came into contact with BX (thanks Aaltsje) and told her about a few really nice catches i remembered from the top of my head. Including the book ‘found’ by our Queen and my moms book which traveled from Groningen to Bahrein. I alos told her a lot about OBCZ, releasing, themed releases and all kinds of stuff. I threw in a few numbers about how many books were registered, how many members there are worldwide, in the Netherlands and in Fryslân. She absolutely loved that i new that. We talked for more then an hour and she told me that she wanted to place the piece in next weeks paper. The internet edition of the piece will be up as soon as possible.

I’ll link to it when it’s up, but it’ll be in dutch, so you might not be able to read it. But then, there’s a picture of me included, so you can just admire me :P

Interview

maart 1, 2010

A few weeks ago i wanted to bring the subject of BookCrossing to the attention of the local newspaper. I emailed them, told them a bit about BookCrossing and asked them if they wanted to do an article about it. Today i got an email back saying they wanted a full interview with pics and all.

I am so thrilled about it. I never expected them to even concider an interview about it. So next week i’ll be giving an interview and doing a wild release in front of the camera. I hope more people will get interested and register with BookCrossing. It would be fun to have a few more Crossers nearby.

Job interview part deux

februari 16, 2009

I’m back, finally. The interview went very well. Although i have a bad feeling about it. But that’s probably because they had job interviews the whole day and they were tired.

I could answer all their questions and i think my answers were pretty good. I’m getting the results later this week, so let’s wait and see what happens.

The woman from terschelling called back to say she couldn’t locate my letter, so Jay was kind enough to ask her emailadress so we could send the letter to her. That’ll save another day trying to find the damn letter. I’m really hoping she has some good news tomorrow.

As for now, i’m pretty tired. I didn’t think a job interview would have such an impact, but it does. And tomorrow i have to work early 7-11 am. Not long, but it’s the busiest time and i’m on my own. I’m not backing anyone up as i sometimes do. Ah well, it’s just two more days and then i’m done with that stupid training period.

Job interview

februari 16, 2009

Today’s my first job interview. I’m expecting that i’ll be having another one this week or next week. Remember i said i had to apps going? One nearby and one on the island? The job interview today is for the job nearby. But i called the island (or the person on the island that knows about the job there :P ) and they hadn’t receaved my letter. So she asked me a few questions and is going to track my letter down. Than she’ll be talking with her collaege about my letter and she’ll be calling me back tomorrow. Exciting!!

Job Interview, Fridge and more

februari 15, 2009

Got a job interview on monday. Had to go out and buy a new pair of trousers. Jeans might be a little too casual for such an event…

New fridge is standing proudly, doing what it’s supposed to do. I did read the measurements of the thing, but i had no idea how tall 1.87 m really was… Man that thing is big… Now i need some microwave supports on the wall, cause there’s just no way i can get stufff from the microwave down without a stepladder…

Twitter’s awesome. I like the way i can get small updates wihtout having to log into my blog and type it all out. I think i’m gonna use it a lot… Now all i need is that plug-in. I’ll ask Jay about it when he’s a little less tired.

It’s 5 am and i’m awake for hours. Can’t sleep, it’s too hot. I don’t get it, the window’s open and it’s below 0 C outside. But it’s not just me, Jay’s up too. Maybe i should take off a few covers… Hmm…
