Same As It Ever Was

[This post is the exclusive copyright of KillerBoob.]
So here I return to you, now having officially returned to work! It’s a somewhat surreal thing after 2 years out (in a completely different lifestyle) and I think I’m going to talk quite a bit about airline stuff in the near future and I hope you don’t [...]

Welcome to America!

It just so happens that I am tired, hungry and poor. How fitting.
My trip here yesterday started early, as there were planned demonstrations all over Brussels to protest the gas prices (some unions want government subsidies on fuel). Not [...]

From 0 to 100 mph

I’m leaving you a hurried post today. As hurried as I actually am!
Instead of the relatively relaxed week of apartment closing and other affair-tidying here in Brussels…I now have to do it all at breakneck speed. Work (again) completely lost the thread of my bureaucratic situation and I had to go through the “when to [...]

They’re Here!

Today was my surgery and “they” have finally been received! It’s all very exciting. I’ll jump up and down when…well, once I’m able to. Right now I can barely stand up and down. For a preview, look above. (Ha – I wish! )
I won’t stay here long as I’m pretty sore and tired, [...]

Hectic Days

Oh hi there. Have you been waiting long? Nice to see you.
Since getting my work clearances, I have been going nonstop. Joy at the knowledge that I can work next month means no more watching the bleak economic reports on the TV, wondering if I will get to join the global economy again before sinking [...]
