What made me happy today? Name that fandom!
Today wasn't exactly a good day. I got up this morning and managed to make a wrong move, which caused my left knee to hurt. A lot. Again. For those of you who don't know me that well, I've had a skiing mishap ages ago and two surgeries, which didn't help much. And at work things were going haywire as well.
Until one of my managers sent an email asking if anyone knew some magic to solve our problem. Before I had even thought it through, I'd sent back an email stating that a time-turner would be very helpful as well. Sadly, the entire stock of Time-Turners, located in the Time Room, in the Ministry of Magic was destroyed during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries in 1996.
My manager sent me an email back exclaiming 'Quite!' (he's British fyi). Turns out he's a fan too!
I love Harry Potter, and this little email conversation made my day!

Pimp my suitcase
What made me happy today? Pimping my suitcase :-)
As I mentioned before I'll have to go on a businesstrip pretty soon. Unfortunately, today I realized that I only have a large suitcase and some smaller weekend bags. But nothing suited for a short stay abroad and airtravel. So I went out and bought a trolley.
As you can see it's a pretty generic black suitcase. In order to be able to swiftly recognize it at the airport, I decided to 'pimp' my suitcase. And what better place to get some stuff to achieve my goal with than the Metalzone? I dashed in there, chose a new CD (for the curious ones among you: 'Vanity is a virtue' by Nicodemus') and started choosing some stickers. After a fun chat with Wim, I took everything back home and started puzzling.
The end-result is not too shabby if I say so myself.
My little suitcase is now proudly featuring stickers from following bands: Cradle of Filth, Ramones, Opeth, Sonata Artica, Nightwish and Slipknot. So cool!
I'm just wondering what they'll think of it at the airport :-)
Oh, and Wim, if you're reading this: thanks for the little Easter egg I found in my bag, it was very tasty :-)

Honk honk!
What made me happy today? Seeing a very cool truckdriver!
Work today ment being picked up by a co-worker, driving two hours to a hospital and then start doing our word there. But it seems like the traffic gids were smiling upon us. Not only were almost all traffic jams in the other direction, both when going and coming back, but I also saw one of the coolest truck drivers ever!
He had a full sleeve tattoo on his left arm, several piecings in his left ear, had long white hair and goatee. And to finish off the cool: he was smoking a pipe! Smoking is not cool and really unhealthy, but pipes have this certain je-ne-sais-quoi. And it just suited him.
Apologies for the late and short post, but I just got home and still need to eat :-s
