Long needed update
Where to start?
I guess I'd best start with the ending of my interns/holidayjob. Tomorrow is my last day and I'm rounding things up as I type this. Making an inventory of my files, making a report about my findings, telling about the report. I kinda feel I have to hold a presentation too, but if I can dodge that I certainly will.
It's been a fun time and I'm glad I took this job. It's made me realize it's not all as easy as one might think. Bosses can be very demanding, but teachers can be even worse.
Talking about teachers. I registered for a new study. I'm going for "Technische Bedrijfskunde", which I think can be translated best with 'Corporal Management', but VictorvdB must know the real translation.
I've had my first class already. It was yesterday. The teacher talked about the Suzaki Project, which we are going to follow. I feel like it's going to be a lot tougher than my last study, but that's probably because I'm not as good at this as I am/was at my last study.
It's a completely different way of thinking about assets and the way they can/should be used. But I'll manage. And if I don't, I always have the Mechanical Engineering diploma to fall back on.
Next to work and school there's my social life (obviously).
I went to a birthday of one of my girlfriends. We had some laughs, some beers, some toast and then she whooped out the tequila. This is where things got ugly ;)
I had about 6 shots of tequila (after about 6 bottles of beer) and I felt quite happy. We were having fun and laughing about eachother being drunk. I guess one should've seen it to find it funny.
Anyways at one point I decided to head into town and the rest would follow. I jumped on my bike and got a headstart, which I never lost. Apparantly being as intoxicated as I was I didn't see the others not following me, but after about 20 minutes I was already in my favorite bar.
I met up with all my friends and got straight to dancing. At one point some of my friends decided to go to another bar, but I stayed behind with Wilbert, Mark, his girlfriend and some others. Around three beer later I went to the bathroom and when I got back everybody left.
I took a look onto my watch and saw it strike 3 AM. I had one more glance around the room, didn't see anyone I knew so I figured I might as well go home.
I started walking towards the door as my phone rang. I didn't look at the number and just answered. I heared a female voice on the other side and told her I was going outside for better reception. As I thought the female was my girlfriend, Lizza, I send her an SMS asking her where she was, what she wanted as I added the "Yes I'm drunk right now. Love you, RichardD." at the bottom of the message.
About 10 minutes later I got an SMS from her telling me she was at home in her bed and she didn't call me.
I started wondering....then who did. I checked my phone for the number. "+316" I had no clue who called. And just then as I wanted to call them back, I got an SMS from that number. "Where are you now?! Kiss Inga."
Inga? Who the hell is Inga?!
I didn't have a clue, so I tried calling the number, but the noise on the background made the voice on the other end totally inaudiable.
I tried getting back into the bar, but since it was past three o'clock they didn't let me in anymore.
Probably for the best since I was kinda of drunk.
I got on my bike and went home.
I had a date with Liz the next day and she asked me what last night was all about. I showed her the SMS and she asked me who Inga was. I told her I had no clue. She looked at me and I got the impression she thought I had done strange, un-boyfriend-like things last night while drunk.
I thought long and hard and as far as I knew I was able to remember every single detail about what happened. (In my book, that makes me drunk, but not completely wasted.) So there's no way I cheated on Lizza. But still it made me wonder...who is Inga?!
I tried calling the number again. 'Service voicemail'. So still no clue on who's number it was. On monday I tried again and I got Wilbert on the phone. He apparantly has a new phone and I didn't have his number yet. Now things became more clear. I asked him who Inga was. He told me that's the name of Mark's girlfriend.
DING DING DING DING
The bell ringed.
Now I got it! But why would she SMS me where I was as they just left the bar I was in with them?!
Wilbert explained that while I went to the bathroom, Inga went too and he and Mark went for drinks. So when I got back they were all still gone and it appeared like they had left, but they actually hadn't.
DOH!
Looking back I at least did the wise thing by going home, cause I had a splitting headache for the better part of the sunday. I was also relieved to find out I can still trust myself AND my memory :)
The only thing I have to wonder about is....why do things like that always happend to me?
I don't have a lot planned for the next couple of weeks, but Lizza informed me she's probably going to be home alone for the next couple of weekends. That might be interesting ;)
Enough update for now.
I'll get back to you soon.
