First off, I have been called up for another interview at PB next Thursday. This time, I will meet with the gentleman who, if they decide to take me on, I will be reporting to directly.
Secondly, no fewer than 3 different recruitment agencies called today explaining how they'd come across my cv on the Internet (which has been there for months!) and thought they might have the job for me. I will be meeting with one of them tomorrow afternoon, and the other two early next week.
As to what I did today: I spent the majority of it in het Gemeentemuseum with my friend K. Neither of us had been there in years, so a visit was long overdue. Although as it turned out one of my favourite collections (that of medieval musical instruments) was no longer on permanent display -a change that had been effected some 20 years ago according to museum staff-, I wasn't disappointed in the current exhibitions...and the glass and ceramics collections were particularly impressive, with a great many stunningly beautiful modern pieces added to what I remembered had already been there in my youth. Those forms, those colours, those textures...Perhaps, if there is such a thing as reincarnation, I could come back as a glassmaker in my next life.

I haven't really kept up with recreational Internet use lately (er, longer than that, really), but I have been worrying about you. So, this sounds great! :-)
Ahh, glass and ceramics! One of my parents' closest friends is an artist who sometimes makes ceramics, and I've always been delighted by her stuff. Glassmaker would be an ace occupation, I think.
Though, that medieval muscial instrument collection would have been amazing to see...
Beginning of last year, I was looking into following a course in ceramics myself; but then I lost my job and couldn't afford the tuition fee...Hopefully, I'll soon be able to sign up for it again.
The Mondrians at the Gemeentemuseum were the first thing I wanted to see when I first visited the Netherlands. I'll never quite get over seeing them for the first time - so the rest of the collections were a little bit overshadowed for me. But I do love good glass and modern ceramics too.
