Something About Me
- Jenn in Holland
- The story begins like this: A couple of years ago my husband got a crazy notion in his head that returning to school after years in the professional world might be a good idea. So he and I along with our three children left our suburban life in the U.S. and traded it for a new adventure in The Netherlands.
The saga continues like this: A year of post graduate study was so much fun, we figured we'd stay a while longer. Working in a new field, attending new schools and living in a new city, I dare say we have settled into a rhythm in our expat lives.
This blog is the record I keep of our experiences here; good, bad and hilarious. Intended as an outlet for my expression, this is the place for me to say my something.
I welcome you warmly.

I want to work with you!
ReplyDeleteeach friday? All those glasses for you. Wow, talk about coming out of the closet !
ReplyDeleteI wanna drink at work!
ReplyDeleteNow, I'm really jealous. I wanna drink at your work! Because that means you're buying. Right? Or you can bring a bottle (or so) to my work; we'll close the door and no one will know. Or bring it by on Fridays when everyone goes home at 12:30 and we can go to the park and drink. Either way, it'll be fun.
ReplyDeletemmmmm.... let me know when you get home, I'll join you in a glass. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty cool...bring happy hour to the office instead of taking the office to happy hour. At $8 plus a glass, this would be a lot cheaper over the long haul.
ReplyDeletewow! cool working area.... really your from Netherlands? I'm from other part of Europe too... Hope we can exchangelinks... Happy WW!
ReplyDeletenice one, cool working ground!LOL.... mine's up too hope you can drop by.
ReplyDeleteAh now that is a great sight! Happy WW
ReplyDeleteOkay, pour one more glass, I'm coming over. Why is it, that that's not acceptable in my job? Huh? (but it IS at my school, wel university, they have glasses and bottles of wine with meals...) Something a Canadian friend of mine convinced me into believing that is was very "European". Right. If that makes any sense.
ReplyDeletethat's like mine, too! 4pm happy hour. next friday, i'll send a virtual toast your way!
ReplyDeletehappy ww.
Pretty cool office. Employees there must be happy.
ReplyDeletewe the alliteration works :)
ReplyDeleteany openings there?
ReplyDeleteToo bad you have to work under such deprived conditions!
ReplyDeletehehe that looks like the perfect way to wrap up the week!
ReplyDeleteAhhh Jenn, 'happy hour' without having to leave early! Do you have any job opennings?
ReplyDeleteHappy WW, thanks for checking on us (dog and me).
That is my kind of office!! Sign me up!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Would you think less of me if I said that was my office at 9:00 in the morning? *grin*
ReplyDeleteGreat picture.

I wish I could drink at work on Friday afternoons, I love a good glass of wine! But I am a teacher and I think drinking would be hugely frowned upon! hehe
ReplyDeleteNice shot! Happy WW!
That's keeping T.G.I.F. at the place that makes you look forward to Friday. (Did that just make sense? Maybe I need one of those glasses)
ReplyDeleteI could use an office like that. Although, my weekend doesn't start until well into Saturday, sadly.
ReplyDeleteWow, you make me wanna grab one wine lol! Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteOh by the way i just got back from one month away of participating the WW so these are my entries now.

Beautiful Sunset
Interesting - are the glasses different or is it my eyes playing tricks on me.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to move to to Ireland later on this year - my husband has been offered a job there!
I love red Wine - but due to the Tannin, I can only smell it. It is very inetersting of the different Grapes develop, smells and tastes.
ReplyDeleteGreat entry and certainly a good place to work
awwwww man! I work til you get home on Fridays!!! ; ) Sooo jealous you get to booze on the job when I work there too and am never in the know. You lucky little office lady! : P
ReplyDeleteHey don't start that wine yet...you have to wait until 4 PM!
ReplyDeleteok, I know it's happy hour in the office, but seriously Jenn: 5 glasses in one hour is too much!
ReplyDelete(hey just teasing you, just joking around)
Let me just say, your job ROCKS.
