I used to spend a lot of time in that part of Holland. Had a friend who lived in Eijsden. He told me all about the burning of the dope shop that was being built there.

Ah, this part of the Netherlands reacts rather hostile if you call them 'Holland'. Yes, one or two (out of lots) burnt down, and nothing recent. Only place where you find more coffeeshops is in Amsterdam itself - because Maastricht is on the border with Belgium and near Aachen, easily accessible by train.

Yes, I know. That is what I said. It is just up from Vise.

Ah, well, for the sake of the audience; a year or two ago the liberals tried to introduce required registering and tried to ban all non-Dutch customers from buying something. That policy was removed after four months, partly due to the impact on tourism.
Some people may think that the amount of French getting of the train in Heerlen are there for the cheese, but I doubt that

People get up at 05:00 for a lot less

Yes, that's what the next offer will be, once this is the new default.
I may go to bed at five in the morning, but "get up"? No, nothing to do at that time that cannot be done during normal hours.

Except avoid "normal hours" traffic 
I'm supposed to be in a 09:00.

Yes, and you being a hardworking and ambitious young man have to accept that. If you run into problems, read this[^]. That doesn't mean that the employer will build in office near your house, but it may give you some room to change your hours.
Supposed to; will you be blamed for choosing wrong traffic-conditions?

I always imagined you to be more of the passive type...slow to anger. Nice to see such colorful language around here, and to see you get really upset. refreshing.
Anyhow, I hope you get a resolution soon to your issues at hand. Cursing always helps me.

Errr...welcome to the real world of interfacing to third parties!
I still think my best one is when the two people, at the other company, that were supposed to validate that I was correctly using the interface were arguing about how their interface should work - with me in the middle.

Just started my drinking a few minutes ago in memory of my little sister who died from Melanoma 19 years ago to the minute I cracked my celebratory beer.

I decided this morning that it's time to shut down the WookieTab - I find Windows (and Chrome particularly) benefits from a restart every now and then, and it's been a couple of months I guess.
So I hit the Win key, Power, and ... "update and shutdown" Oh. Gawd. OK, connect to power first ... "update and shutdown"
"shutting down".
Walk away.
Notice a little later it's powered up.
"Win, Power, "update and shutdown". Again? OK ...
"shutting down".
Walk away.
It's powered up again.
Yes, you guessed, "update and shutdown" is there again ...
Third time lucky?
Well ... it shut down, anyway.
So I turn it back on.
"Getting windows ready" ... and it's been sitting at "100% complete" for five minutes ...
There are times when I think I should go back to Android: at least an update there is one operation.
What part of "100%" do Microsoft not understand?

"100%" is a virtual concept which is, mainly, overestimated.
selfish adj. Defines someone who does not think of me.

Isn't it just?
It's now been sitting at "working on updates", "100% complete" for ten minutes.
