A day in my life: Friday December 24, 2010

Did you know that ….

• I worked my butt off till Wednesday at noon but was able to do everything that had to be done and could shut down my PC at work at noon and have a great Christmas lunch with my colleagues and also got a Christmas bonus this year, even though our country still suffers from the economic crisis.
  .
• I have vacation till January 3^{rd
  .}
  
• I haven’t worked out all week and not going to till Monday and I’m totally okay with that. No guilt at all.
  .
• We are going to have a white Christmas. The snow is still here. Temperatures are above zero the past few days but we had so much snow that it’s going to take a while before it’s all gone.
  .
• I’ve cleaned up my Google reader and threw out all the blogs on which I comment regular but who never took the effort to look at mine.
  .
• I’m thinking about starting the 365 days photo challenge again on January 1^st.
  Would you like it if I start this again even though my life can be pretty boring sometimes?
  .
• We have something here in Holland called Serious Request?
  A radio station does this every year, for 6 years now. 3 DJ’s live in a house of glass in a city in Holland. They can’t get out for 6 days and they don’t eat for 6 days. All of this to raise money for the Red Cross. Every year they have a different cause. This year it’s for 15 million orphans who lost their parents to AIDS. You can give money, or request a record for money, or send a text message. Last year they collected 7 million Euro’s, half of it was donated by our government. This year the government won’t double the amount but yesterday they already collected 3.1 million Euro’s (4 million USD). It’s on TV 24 hours a day and we watch it a lot. It’s kind of a tradition. Tonight at 9.30 pm they leave the house and the final amount is announced.

.

This leaves me with only one more thing to say and that is that I wish you and your family a happy and loving Christmas.
