Upstairs Neighbours

I guess I'm down to one blog a month.. Meh, works for me.

So I'm slowly getting into that state of panic again, when everything comes hurling at me all at once. It's almost three months now that I'm basically getting paid to sit at home. The recruiters still haven't found anything for most of us, and I'm also hearing sounds of others about not having their contracts extended. I've already been looking for something else anyway, the job keeps sounding less and less wonderful. I have some leads, but for now they're still just leads..

I also have to find a new residence in a month or so, and there's not much progress in this area either. Turns out that Utrecht is the most expensive place to live, at least concerning renting a place (since my work related future is as clear as last New Year's Eve, buying is not an option). Not just expensive-expensive, but overpriced-expensive as newspapers and politics say. And of course they don't just say-say it, no, they disaster!crisis!fire!!-say it as usual. Still, any possible solutions have to be discussed to death for decades before something finally happens, so I'm just gonna keep on looking myself.

It's become a rather long post, I originally just wanted to introduce you to my upstairs neighbours.
