Accountant

I had to go see an accountant today, it was quite hectic so I took notes and wrote stuff down that I had to remember or had to look into later. He was a kind man and he took an hour to explain all the options to me.

Saturday I will try to find some books so I can study the subject a bit. It seems that most of the system over here is the same as in the Lowlands so I don’t think I will run into major problems. Been there done that… Mr. Accountant asked me about my business card, he needs a new website [in fact he does; his enquiry form didn’t work and I ended up having to copy/paste my text into an email…] and he said he had some clients who also needed a new website. So I guess business creates business doesn’t it?

I need to look for a secretary though and called MvdM. to see if he was interested, he was laughing but agreed to it. He will have to do exactly the same thing in a few months from now, so he asked me to share knowledge… I might end up as his secretary *hehe*. Setting up the business, sorting out all the paperwork and have it registered won’t take long so I have some more time to visit some more accountants to see what they have to offer and if they can give me good advice…

I’m on a roll now and very much enjoying this! ;)

Home Early…

I have a hangover today… (what’s new hey?!) I was invited for dinner last night by MvdM. and W.. I was also invited over the weekend but wasn’t feeling too well so I decided to stay home and see what it would be like Monday evening. I was fine though so went there around 19.00 and was introduced to L. a dear friend of both. We had a lovely meal, mediterranean flavours and dishes, so delicious! After too many glasses of wine, MvdM. decided to go to bed since it was getting late already, then after some time L. did the same and I ended up having a deep conversation with W. until 05.45…

He rang a cab for me and we waited outside for it to show up. After some time W. went in while I waited a bit longer. Too long actually because I had to call again to see where the cab was and why there seemed to be a delay. It was kinda cold outside but he finally showed up in another 10 minutes. Altogether I had been waiting for 45 minutes and was slightly annoyed, but the cab driver was nice and kept chatting. I heard his whole life in only 10 minutes. How he had to drive early morning shifts in order to pay for his study, he was 50 and started to study law because he wanted to become a lawyer and set an example to his three kids. He said: ‘no matter what age you are it’s never too late to make a career change…’

He kept rambling until I told him to stop at the next junction, while I was slightly intoxicated I gave him the fare, wished him luck with his study and told him to have a nice day… As soon as I noticed my bed I crashed and slept till 13.00… So forgive me for being hung-over, I guess I have myself to blame… Next Sunday I’ll have to do it allover again
