Free days are sometimes not so free

It’s a bit strange that for me holidays and weekends often don’t mean r&r, but work. Of course that’s what makes my job ideal for a full-time student – but still, I can’t help but whine and curse when I have to go to work. Like now – it’s Ascension Day, and I’d love to laze about or meet up with friends, specially since the weather is better than yesterday. But no – I have to leave soon and will be at work until 9pm. Day over.

Luckily I can take my laptop with me and, although I don’t have internet access, I can at least write, read, listen to music and play around when things are slow. And they often are – not a lot to do at the reception of an old people’s home, it’s not exactly a hotbed of action. 🙂

And with that I have to get ready.
