Mastering Insanity - Going Down

"Good Afshenoon! Disz isch your casp-tain schpeekiiing!!! We are goooing dooooown...!!!"

Another normal day at the office at Schiphol-Rijk when a Turkish airliner crashed (almost) right outside our building. It crashed near the Polderbaan so unfortunately I couldn't see anything from our building (and in all honesty, nine dead is not a real plane-crash anyways). The 'meiden van Halal' were apparantly on board and survived so I guess that Allah has failed to kill them and has to try it again.

All the managers from Unisys were watching television to see what was going on and since they are 'cutting costs' in Holland, it would seem sensible to me to fire the lot of them as they clearly don't have anything better to do. I wish I had a camera to take some pictures of them standing around doing nothing, but alas...

So, back to mastering insanity. Today was a busy day at work. I am actually starting to enjoy people management, it is a strange and crazy world. And speaking of crazy, this is a badly designed clothes hanger picture for the people that don't have me added on facebook and have never seen this picture:


- Yes, just hang your coat on the bear's hard-on.

It was an enjoyable evening at Herpes. Had a good conversation with Dick and we are going to train together in March. No expections. No excuses. No mercy. Or to speak with Paul: "No pain, no pain".

Only received five calls from the call-center today instead of the usual six. A colleague of mine gave me an excellent idea on how to answer the phone after two weeks from now. I am still writing the script but it will be something like this (if you don't understand the text below, I suggest that you should stop reading this blog):

'Brigadier de Boer. Goedendag. Mag ik uw naam en telefoonnummer noteren? Dank u. Wij hebben Krameros (peace be with him) zijn lichaam gevonden en hij is ongeveer vier weken dood. De buren hebben geklaagd over stankoverlast en wij hebben vastgesteld dat hij een onnatuurlijke dood is gestorven. Het lijkt op een afrekening in het criminele circuit. Ook hebben wij vernomen dat u hem veertig keer heeft geprobeerd te bellen, dus kunt u uitleggen hoe u hem kent en waarom u hem zo vaak heeft proberen te bereiken?'.

I am still working on the details, but it will be something along those lines. I will try and record the call as I am hoping that the person on the other end of the line will freak out completely.

Krameros (peace be with him) is going to watch the new Heroes episode now. Stay tuned for more nonsense kids -- and don't forget: "You are only as young, as the women you feel".

Krameros (peace be with him) -- Out.
