It's Sunday evening at the moment. @ Day's ago I called my doctor and as I already expected he told me that Sunday this flu must be over. I must say I feel a lot better. Tomorrow back to work again. I can't wait what to expect ;-)
I've never been a week off-duty due to illness. So it was a weird week for me. A week lying in bed, sitting on the sofa, listening to nothing, But the silence....

being sick
Since I wrote last post I catched the summer flu. A lot of people are sick, catched the summerflu the doctor told me. Symptoms: fever, headache, a sore throat, painful muscles and so on.
So this week nothing happened. I was just hanging around in my bedroom. I slept for hours and the afternoon was over before I knew it. When the evening came with a low sun shining in my kitchen-window I was out of energy. I even didn't have
the energy to use the Internet since today.
I actually called the doctor. Today he told me it's a summer flu. On the Internet in read that rating non-fresh vegetables can cause it. I think that the food of last Saturday wasn't okay.
This afternoon I got a call from a man who said being the doctor dealing with absences through illnesses who wants to know what's wrong and how I feel, if I were consulting my private doctor and so on. I couldn't hear very clear because my ears were affected too. He asked me some questions and and me when I expect myself being ready for work...Next Monday I told him.
Then he said "It's good to hear that Jan. Hans here.." Then I knew it was a joke.
But a nasty one. No person should be a person he isn't. I couldn't see Hans, I couldn't hear as good as I should. This hurts the reliability of Hans and of anybody else who's on the telephone. I expected a telephone call from someone concerning my absence through illness.

Confidential information
I was just placed some photo's on fotothing. when I noticed that in Belgium campsites have to provide police-authorities with police-notes.
A note on which the traveler has to give private information and his whereabouts. It goes further than the ordinary name, address and nationality. Even the traveler's profession seems to be important. What the heck...I'm traveling-writer and I´m going to Wonderland.
This was the moment something became obvious in my point of view. Is Europe becoming a police-state with an EU-dictatorship? A wise man will say "you'll see".
At work we are transforming to use a kind of Citizen service number. With this number all the information of the Civil Service can be traced and linked to the person concerned. That is scary if you think about it. Big brother is watching us.
