BaCk From VacAtion!
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
I could feel it on the roads to work this morning. People are back from vacation! The roads remain fluid but it is definitively more dense this Monday morning. On the good side, all the tricky and dangerous turns and roundabouts are much easier since everyone is slowing down. I just hope we won’t have […]

Net Income (after tax): +2398 Euros Housing: -600 Euros Transport + insurance: -247 Euros Food/Living: -394 Euros So that makes my monthly saving: + 1157 Euros Not too bad!

I will regret these 2 weeks. It was quite nice working alone in the office with no social activities to disturb you. It was quiet and it was effective. I came in early and left around 17:10 ( a bit earlier on Friday). Even though it was a bit stressful to finish the old job […]

I love this office. 5 windows and extremely spacious! But more importantly, all mine! No sharing! And birds are singing in the morning when I arrive early. Delightful! The view is lovely as well. Just a perfect office, I am telling ya’

Back Then!

Thinking back about my job search period, I sometimes get chills. Indeed I was close to accept really shitty positions back then for much less. I could not, of course, predict where I would be today and back then it was hard to be choosy. The economy looked so bad, even now, that one would […]
