Aunt Sidonia & I

Aunt Sidonia is a character from the fabulous comic series ‘Suske & Wiske’.
Now I never thought I had much in common with aunt Sidonia, but apparently I’ve been mistaken.

One of aunt Sidonia’s traits is that she is very thin. So thin she can go completely undetected (barring her long nose), by hiding behind a lamppost.
And apparently I'm just as good in hiding...

Last night I was working late at the office. Last night we also had a new cleaning guy. Who was told to ‘switch off all the lights once everyone is out of the office’. Now I was sitting behind my desk. I thought in plain sight. Not so, according to the cleaning guy! Switched the light in my room off right in front of me, whilst I was looking at him bewildered. Didn’t even notice my first exclamation of ‘Oy!’ It took one or two more ‘oy’s before he even bothered to look back...

I don’t think I look like aunt Sidonia though. Least of all the nose.

Debranding your phone is not to be done lightly

I decided to make my T-mobile phone forget it's a T-mobile phone and think it's a regular ole Sony Ericsson.
This is not to be done by the faint hearted: the first time I tried something went wrong midway and the darn thing wouldn't do anything! Me, without a working mobile phone...

1 minor heart attack later I got it to work, though. :)

Broke my glasses whilst skiing...

... well technically, they fell of the nightstand in the hotelroom, but saying I broke them during skiing sounds soooh much more exciting.

Grr. My back up glasses are not as good.
