21862 — zaterdag

Went to Cluj-Napo­ca on Sun­day after­noon last week. Eind­ho­ven air­port was not that crow­ded given that holi­day has star­ted in the South of the Nether­lands.

But nevert­he­less my flight was delay­ed for more than two hours.

In Cluj I went straight to the hotel whe­re I got a room with a nice view.

Was in the offi­ce on Mon­day till 5 PM and had a 5 km run in the park whe­re they were busy pre­pa­ring for the Unt­old fes­ti­val.

On Tues­day we had to stay in the offi­ce to sup­port the year­ly phy­si­cal inven­to­ry count. Only at 6 AM Wed­nes­day mor­ning we were able to post the coun­ting results.

Slept till lunch and stay­ed in the hotel for calls. In the eve­ning we were invi­ted by the VP Ope­ra­ti­ons for some drinks. We took some piz­za sli­ces on our way to his pla­ce and thought we found a nice short­cut through a park which tur­ned out to be a ceme­tery. It must have been a stran­ge sight to see us wal­king through thar area whi­le eating piz­za. Later we saw some Cluj kit­tens which I almost put in my bag to take home. We stay­ed at the VP till around 11 PM and had a nice walk back to the hotel, whe­re we ended up at the bar for a last drink.

On Thurs­day a few hours in the offi­ce befo­re lea­ving back to the Nether­lands. The Cluj air­port is under con­struc­ti­on in the midd­le of the sum­mer sea­son which wasn’t real­ly com­for­ta­ble to say the least. Too crow­ded, bad air­co and hard­ly any infor­ma­ti­on on flights or gates. At home I went to bed ear­ly as I was exhau­sted.

On Fri­day I deci­ded to work from home as hea­vy traf­fic was expec­ted due to start of vaca­ti­on sea­son for some regi­ons in our coun­try. My last call was from 3 till 4, and once done I had to pick up my grand­daugh­ter from day­ca­re. Play­ed with her, eat with her, wat­ched some tv with her and brought her to bed just at the moment her dad showed up from work. At home we wat­ched some tv befo­re I deci­ded to go to bed.

And now it is week­end.
