Lieve allemaal... Ik moet even heel snel schrijven, dit moet van m'n hart af...
Ik zit in huis, heb zin in thee, en loop naar de keuken. Appeltje-eitje zet ik kopje thee, maar dan... IK ZOEK NAAR MIJN DIENBLAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MENSEN!!! Dit gaat te ver!
Vervolgens doe ik boodschappen. Bij binnenkomst zie ik een oude meneer stuntelen met zijn wagentje. Ik zwiep m'n tas over mijn schouder en pulk met de man samen het wagentje uit de lange rij. Na twee minuten is het klusje geklaard, ik kijk de man aan, en zeg tot mijn eigen verschrikking: "Kan ik U nog ergens mee helpen?" En tot overmaat van ramp merk ik dat ik werkelijk iedereen groet die ik tegen kom onderweg.

Hieronder iets wat ik van iemands "Hyve" heb, ik moest wel glimlachen, maar voor alle stessen onder ons: hoe griezelig herkenbaar is het wanneer je eenmaal werkt! En lees vooral punt 10, 17 en 34... OMG!!!

Langer houd ik jullie niet op. Vrijdag in Bremen een vervolg!
