A last-minute trip to Glasgow
April was busy with doctor’s appointments, medical tests, getting results of the tests, and I still had to go to work. My stress level was above the chart, and when I realised I had a week's vacation coming up, I decided to book a last-minute trip. As a chronically […]

I have been looking for a new backpack for a while now. Yesterday I came across the Filson Journeyman and of course I get fixated on an overpriced backpack.

For a couple of years now, I had the same toastie machine. A Tefal Croc Time. You just plug it in, the light is red, and it turns green when ready to use.
Last month it stopped working. Fine one day, dead the next one.
While browsing online today for a new one, I see the same model and I see […]

The Dutch railway never saw snow, so my manager told me to go home early before all trains stops riding.
Now I'm warm and cosy at home, whereas at the office it was freezing cold.

I have a long travel day on Sunday, and I'm already stressed out. When are we getting teletransportation?
I'm the kind of person who can only chill out when the travelling has actually begun, and I'm on my way.
Also, this winter I'm more bothered by the early dark days than usually.

Also, sock quality has gone down the hill. I walk […]

Apparently one of the Netherlands bigger banks will be firing 5000 employees and intends to replace many with AI.
I'm already mad at the prospect of the AI bubble possible bursting and these banks come asking for bail out money from taxpayers.
I say let them suffer.
