exciting story #5 my lousy job

Since I live in a room that is so expensive I can hardly afford it, I need to work at least 15 hours a week. My work in the supermarket covers only 10 hours a week so I needed to find another job on the side. After browsing the papers for a month, I decided to go where all students in need of instant cash go: Telder. Telder is a company that interviews consumers by phone. Consumers usually don't exactly enjoy this kind of tele-terrorism so as an employee of Telder you are bound to have people yelling, swearing and cursing at you at least twice an hour. Every shift lasts 4 hours so mathematics tells us that every shift you get verbally harassed 8 times. The minimal amount of shifts you have to take a week is 2 so as an employee of Telder you get at least 16 cases of being verbally abused a week. To help employee's cope with this they should probably have a qualified psychiatrist on site. Since this is quite costly, they have simply decided to accept the fact that every employee only lasts about three months (and then goes off to seek counseling). This means that they have a huge amount of vacant positions to fill up every week. This means that they will hire about every moron they find on their doorstep and this means that I was officially hired this afternoon. My work starts on tuesday so wish me luck. And if anyone knows a good psychiatrist, give me a call 'cause i'll be needing him within a few weeks.

exciting story #4 What's growing in my kitchen?

It was a sunny monday morning not very long ago. For some reason I woke up remarkably early that day and decided to clean my entire 14m2 of living-space. I started out with my kitchen cabinets since they were the only items which I could not remember cleaning before. I took out my entire stock of food, empty wine-bottles (I only drink in weekends but I tend to extend weekend limits up till tuesday and start weekends on wednesday), cooking equipment and all sorts of things I couldn't remember to be the proud owner of. I cleaned the entire cabinet and put my things back. The cabinets shone bright in the early sunlight, they had never smelled fresher. It therefore came as a shock to discover a foul smell coming out of my cabinet a week later. The horrible smell kept me from working, eating and sleeping for a day before I decided to take action. I took out all my stuff again but couldn't find the source of the stench. It reminded me of the AFO invasion a few weeks earlier (exciting story #3) and I started to think that the bugs from outer space had left something growing in my kitchen cabinet. The stench is still there. It comes and goes from time to time but I can live with it thanks to my "brise ocean fresh"spray. Now the question arises: what was it that the bugs from outer space left growing in my cabinets? It has to be invisible since there is nothing but cooking equipment in there.If any of you have had any experience with this kind of terrorism or you have an idea of what could cause my cabinets to smell so foul, please contact me.

Exciting story #3 AFO's from outer space

As some of you (you know who you are) have pointed out, it has been a while since I wrote my last exciting story. This, of course, has had nothing to do with the fact that nothing exciting has happened to me in the past few weeks. The lack of time has been solely responsible for my deafening silence.The story I want to share with you today is about the unwanted guests we had in this house about two weeks ago. It started out with just one pretty large fly in my room. I tried to ignore it for a while but quickly decided that my room simply wasn't big enough to share it with a Annoying Flying Object (hence called AFO). The AFO played hard to get but eventually I managed to smash it and it instantly became part of my wall. I went back to business as usual and for a while all was quiet on Bakerstreet. A few days later I went to take a shower and I noticed no less than three AFO's. I took care of this invasion by smashing all AFO's out of the window. I started wondering where all these bugs could come from since our house was as clean as could be after we got rid of the dead rat in the loundryroom.I wasn't the only one in the house with a bug-problem. My downstairs neighbours came home after a weekend away and found a welcome home-committee existing of a frightening amount of AFO's. It became clear to us that this called for drastic measures so on a chilly monday morning we set out to exterminate all AFO's in the house. We started with the loundryroom and as soon as we opened the door we were attacked by dozens of AFO's. After smashing the better part of them we cleaned out the room with chlorine. Within an hour we killed as many as 60 AFO's. After this ordeal we found the house heavenly quiet without the constant buzzing of AFO's and again, all was quiet on Bakerstreet.We never found the exact source of the invasion. Here are some theories we have come up with:1) There had been a small but significant piece of dead rat left in the laundryroom. 2) Someone had not done any dishes for a month.3) The AFO's just liked our house.4) Someone invited the AFO's.5) They came in peace from outer space and thought we would host them for a while.I tend to go for the last option since:1) The dead rat was in one piece when we got rid of it.2) We are very tidy people so we do our dishes at least once a week.3) There are better houses in the neighbourhood for AFO's to live in.4) Who would be stupid enough to invite guests that don't clean up after themselves?
