It's been awhile

Well my plan to weekly tell something about work, or my own work for that matter, didn't really work. In the end, it was my own work that more or less kept me from typing just another entry to my blog. Luckily for me, I'm sick now with a throat infection. So that gives me a couple of sick days from my work. And thus it gives me an opportunity to type the second entry.

In that last couple of weeks, since I first wrote the blog, I had all sorts of ideas for new ones, about everything and nothing related to work. But most of those ideas pop up in my head while I'm driving to or from my work, and by the time I get home I usually have forgotten them. So maybe I should rethink my plans of writing a blog every week and just write a blog whenever I have time. But I do have to find something to keep those ideas in my head or on a piece of paper so that I can work them out at a later time. But did you ever tried to write something while you're speeding over the highway? I haven't so far, and I don't think I will try it someday. The roads are nowadays way too dangerous to try a stunt like that. Just last week when I went to work, I saw an accident every day at the same spot on the same highway. Most of the accidents were just small crashes, with only the cars being the ones that were injured. Luckily. I remember an accident a few years ago when I saw a car that was under a truck, I mean really under it. The firemen had to cut the people out of the wreckage using some sort of pneumatic scissors. Now those accidents are the scary ones. The ones from last week were just small timers. But I don't think it's such a good plan to try to write something while driving. Maybe a voicerecorder is something that would work, and I can work the spoken thoughts out later when I'm home safely.

First One

Today I started my hopefully weekly blog about work, my work, other work, or just in work in general.
I have been working now for like 6 years in different jobs. Most of them were at offices doing mostly light administrative work. Nowadays I still do administrative work, in a bank. I have this job now for more than two years and it is the first job I have had for so long. The company gave me a car to go to all the places they need me to go. It used to be an Opel Corsa, but in august I received a new one, since the leasecontract had ended on the Opel. Now it's a Renault Clio, the latest model. Nice to drive, you don't really have to work in it, so you can save all your energy for the work that needs to be done on a daily basis.

Sometimes I wonder if it is possible to not work at all. But then I start to ask myself how I can pay the bills that will be stacking up in no time. Life have become expensive to live, so work is a necessarity to try and pay all the bills that come in my mailbox on regular base. I sometimes see homeless people and I wonder if I could ever be like that, without though the usual addiction to booze and drugs. Just be homeless and not have to worry about working all day. Maybe I'm romantising the homeless factor too much, because most of the homeless people I see look, quite frankly, like shit. And I'm a bit of a vein person, I do like to look good for myself and for the people that see me during a day or night.

By the way, the dude on the right is me.
