A day at the office..

Yesterday I went to work with JR and Alex. Cambuur had a "friendly" with a Greek team last night in a town about 2 hours south, so I went to work with them so I could go to the game.

I helped organize their merchandise room and with a mailing..which brought me back to my days at K-Dub (I swore I would never participate in putting together another mailing back then!). The highlight of my day came at lunch...

On Tuesdays, the club provides lunch for everyone. A guy JR works with asked him what he wanted off the menu (which of course was in Dutch). JR responded by asking him what he was getting..he responded in Denglish (that's what I call Dutch people speaking English while infusing Dutch words for English words they do not know..). JR then replied by saying "that sounds good, I have that".

When lunch came, JR took out his sandwich and cringed. It was a celery slaw sandwich with cheese and pinapple :(   I was laughing so hard that I was crying and could not even look at him.  JR was a good sport and ate about half of it. I told him to be more like me and don't look at the menu and just say "ham sandwich please".  BTW..the Dutch put deviled eggs on their sandwiches. I LOVE LOVE LOVE deviled eggs, but I just couldn't eat it on a sandwich..let me know if any of you are brave enough to do this..

After work, we drove to the southern part of Holland for the game. It was very forest-like there, and was a nice change of scenery. The game ended in a 1-1 tie.
