So this Sundaymorning we were sleeping late when suddenly at 10:30 am the phone started ringing. F*ck… At the moment the answering machine wanted to take a message , the person at the other side ended the connection so we had to hear this terrible no connection sound as well.
When we were almost fell asleep, the damned phone started ringing again!!! F*ck f*ck f*ck!!! But this time the person who was calling left a message. It turned out to be a customer who asked if the chief could call him back tomorrow. Because another tenant has rats in his cellar as well. The tenant noticed a rat coming out of a box, and was so shocked he accidentally overturned a shelf.
MORON!!!!! Couldn’t you call tomorrow instead of Sundaymorning 10:30 am when we are still sleeping!!!!!
This is 1 of the advantages when you are working at home. You cannot oversleep, because there’s always some customer to call you awake…

So tomorrow evening at 9 pm local time I am living in Berlin for exactly a year. And I think I am going deeper and deeper in the German sysytem. It started a day after my arrival with calling in at the “Bürgeramt” (the office for citizen) and a day later calling in at the jobcenter.
Then finally in June I managed to arrange my healthcare insurance, that was quite difficult, because I don’t have a job here so that means I needed to get some kind of private healthcare insurance. But since I got operated on my knee October 2005 they won’t accept me as a customer. Since I receive some kind of small early pension from Holland I actually have the right on a healthcare insurance in Germany, paid with the money i received from Holland. At the time I left Holland nothing was known about this because the dutch government changed the healthcare insurance system at january 1st 2006. No- one was able to tell me what to do at that time.
Then somewhere in July I received a letter from the city of Berlin, they told me I was allowed to vote for the city council.  Unfortunately we were in Holland when the city council elections took place and we forgot to request to send our votes by mail .
And last and worst thing; last week i received a letter from the “Deutsche Rentenversicherung” (the german pension insurance). I need to call in there for a total health checkup because I requested a pension there??? I don’t get it… The only thing I could think about it’s an order to the german insurancecompany from the dutch insurance company wich provides me the very small early pension. I think they want to re-approve my healthcondition in order to take away my early pension.
