So, it's the 15th, and that means payday in Holland, right?
Or is it?
I had to pick my money up at the cash, because I don't have a bank account here and thus have to pick up an envelope full of money on payday. Because I only have 1.50 left to my name and am thus really desperate, I even wrote to the head of student hr to make sure that I could pick my money up today. "Sure," he said, "it'll be there!" To be even more sure, I looked around on the website to see if there was a specific time it was open. Couldn't find anything, so I just assumed that it was open when the rest of the head office was open. So off I went after work to pick up my hard earned money.
It was closed.
I asked the front desk when it opens tomorrow, and she had no clue. Random times, apparently. Luckily, I tracked down a lady that worked there, and hopefully, I can get my money tomorrow morning.
I really need to get this money, because I have an appointment to get my social insurance number in Eindhoven tomorrow. Therefore, I need money to get there. And I need to get it before I take the train at 11:30. Interesting, indeed.
Other than that, I'm great. Interesting chat while washing dishes tonight with 4 of the boys here. The topics of conversation? I need bigger boobs, and the posters of porn stars in the bathroom should be my inspiration; and I need to wear a maid's outfit and put chocolates on their pillows. Boys, indeed. And apparently, Jamie Oliver opened another Fifteen in Amsterdam, and so they're showing the Dutch version of Jamie's Kitchen on tv - very cool. Pretty similar to the British one - lots of swears and unattractive teenagers. It's great.
