Date night
Tonight is a date night.
Every now and then, beowulff and I schedule a date night. Usually we pick a movie, at a cinema and a time when he can easily get there from work. We meet up, eat out (nothing all that fancy, mostly Burger King or McDonald's), and just enjoy being out ( Read more... ) -
blah blah blah
Unfortunately not as much work to be done today. So I've looked at some translation agency sites and I may now once again agonize about the wording of a cover letter.
This is always horrible, applying for job after job. It's bad enough to get rejected, but to never get a response. I have had that as well.

When everyone was showered and fed, we discussed what ( Read more... ) -
Dublin - Friday
Friday was the start of my weekend adventure with the girls of Medusa. Luckily, beowulff was willing to get up early and drive me to Schiphol, since I had to meet everyone by 7:30 in the morning. There would eventually be eight of us going, though one girl, C¹, was only going to be joining us later as she had an exam ( Read more... ) -
