this is the museum square in amsterdam sometime last month on a beuatiful summer evening. i showed you some pics before from this square (as you can see here). in the back you see the rijksmuseum, but we were actually going to the building behind us, the concert hall.
anyways. yes. tim is in groningen and i am staying in amsterdam. because yes! finally, finally. finally!! i am working again. it has taken forever, with lots of frustrations, desperations, hope, lost hope, hours and hours in the gym, and even more hours of searching and applying for jobs. i did not enjoy this time, so i am extremely happy to be working again.
in fact, i sent the application for the job i have now already end of february. was invited for an interview in may. did not get the job (this was painful as i made it to the last 2). was invited for another position at the same place, got it and started a few weeks later (mid-june). before i knew, i suddenly had to work again! and so, in this case, having work was more important than living together. its not ideal, but neither was the situation when i was without work while i so desperately wanted (and needed) to work!!
more about my work another time. now its about time i start working for today!!! :)) i can just tell you its science-related, but i am not working as a scientist in a lab anymore. and i am very happy about that too...... :)

Glad to hear things are going back to normal then.
That is great you have a job at last, congrats. There are many who haven't, I can imagine you didn't want to give it up right away to leave for Groningen. Weird situation isn't it? But as long you are both happy it will work.
It sounds like you're both doing well and as long as you want to make it work it will. I'm glad to hear you've found work that you're happy about. I hate job hunting.
When some takes a photo of a building I always enjoy more when they include people in the shot like this one.
I know this location well! And, congratulations on finding a job. You will be happier now that you are contributing. It is unfortunate that Tim and you are currently living apart, but you will eventually find a solution.
