Day 2

So exhausted that I can barely see straight, but thought I'd post a quick run down of day two. Day started off very well, went down to the lobby to check out breakfast and it turns out De Klepperman had a continental baffet. Actually very delish! I stayed away from the milk since one of my colleagues said it was some sort of sour goat, but enjoyed some dense brown bread with jam and some fruit. Realized it was 18 euro after I ate, but I didn't care since it'll be billed to the client. The glory of being on business...

Made it into the office around 8:30 and pretty much just worked straight through only stopping briefly for a bite to eat. oh and found out that we are going to have to work the weekends. Actually, under European laws, we can only ask the business to volunteer to work the weekends, but all of us on the management team don't really have a choice. Luckily Barbara tried to get us all one day off so it may just be Satruday that we'll have to work. It sounds like this may be a regular thing while we're in this testing cycle which kind of ruins my plans to Paris. bummer!!! The thing is though, the management team can work all we want, but if we don't have backing from the business in NL, we won't be much good. hmm.. Anyway, made it through the day (exhausted since I woke up at 3am this morning) and decided to go along with the group to dinner in the Amersfoort square. The square is very cute... lots of shops and cafes, although we could tell that it wasn't nearly as crowded as it was in August. We ate a neat restaurnat called de 3 Vrienden which was kind of like tapas, but in a dutch sort of way. food was quite good! All of the locals are so so so nice and I love the accents. I finally made it back to my hotel at 10pm and I am beat!

Aw, that sucks that you have to work all the weekends :( On the plus side...I permanently linked you in my blog roll :)

Hope you're getting at least a little down time over there!
