Everything is okay... I quit cycling for a while because of a souring elbow (tennis elbow?) I had a souring headache Friday and couldn't keep attention to the things I was doing. But okay, I'm OK now. My computer is running out of memory and my bicycle is not in perfect condition. But I'm fine. It's nothing to complain about when you read the blogs of the youngsters in Mosul.
After being back for 4,5 weeks I still feel the hardship of cycling through France. I can imagine cyclists in the Tour the France who have a difficult resting day tomorrow. After that there will be 2 days in which the famous TdF will be decided.
I'm okay, the weather here in Holland isn't (much rain, wind and temporarily autumn temperatures) and too much television and internet will kill me.
I still got to write a letter to mme Jaillard, order some photo's and get a new curtain.. (I need one, what I got now is poverty)

work
In the last weeks I had to accept that my vacation is over. It was very difficult for various reasons. The main reason was the time between arrival and going back to work. It was only 2 days. As I need some kind of structure in my life it was hard work to overcome that change. But at work they had changed the whole department a week before I returned. The majority of the employees work in 3 different teams. The 3 teams have their own room.
For finance, which isn't part of any team, was no room left so my colleague and I were placed in the room of the team which had some free space. It was the noisiest place I've ever been.
My colleague has spent a week on our new workplace and wasn't happy with it at all. He told our department manager about his problem with the new spot. It didn't help. My co-worker felt that our manager didn't listen seriously.
A week later I returned and heard about his complaint, the problem, frustration and the problem between 2 other colleagues who planned the removal. (one can be weak if one stands alone). Wednesday, 3 day's after returning, I told my colleague that I got to talk with our manager about the spot where we ought to work. Thursday I sat somewhere else and Friday too. Our manager came to me and I told my story why I moved to another place. It had to do with all those incentives of constant loud voices, my weakness to process those incentives and of course my medical background.
Monday I had an appointment with our company´s medical officer. And he told the same I wanted. I had his support! Luckily on Tuesday our manager came with an option to move to a quieter place in another team´s room. Last week we moved our bureau´s and worked on an improvised workplace. But it´s so much better. Hopefully next week everything will be installed.
It were stressful weeks after a superb holiday.
