4 December 2006

What a day this was. I had to wake up this morning at 6am to leave early. I had to go to Rotterdam for my bi-annual medical check-up. Everyone that works offshore has to go there once in every two years, and when ur over 50 y/o (AND I AM NOT !!) you have to go every year. They take an x-ray of ur longues, take two blood smaples, a urine sample and run some tests on those. They check ur hearing, ur eyes on all that basic stuff. It just takes an hour or so and all is done. I was declared drug and disease free for another two years. They don't check your mental health that's probably why i passed :-)
Still it is a 60 km ride up and down to Rotterdam so it took me the whole morning. In the afternoon did some more shopping and also planned to buy some shoes. However, the sales boy was so damn slow helping someone else that I really didn;t wanna wait, so no new shoes for me. Maybe tomorrow.

This afternoon i got an email from KLM that i could check in for my flight for tomorrow evening to Bangkok. I followed all their instructions to the best of my knowledge, but as almost always, the last step can't be made, i couldn't print my boarding pass. This means i'll have to go to the check-in counter and check in there (that's why it is called a check-in counter i guess), and then the girl there will say "oh why didn't you check in at home?". I promise I will be nice to her tomorrow!

Tonight is packing night. I love packing so it will be the night of my life and i am so slow doing it that it will probably take the whole evening and beyond it :-)
