WW-uitkering

The past two weeks I have taken a “vacation” to do the unpacking here in my new home. This week we finally got our new bookcases for the study. Up till then, all my books were just piled up on the floor. Now I can finally find most of my stuff back again…

Today I visited the CWI (centre for work and income) to request a “WW-uitkering” (unemployment benefit). Starting today, I will be looking for a job and I will have to apply for a job at least once a week. (Apparently, I should have started with that weeks ago already, so I will probably be cut down on my payments. But hey, I didn’t know that! Nobody told me anything!)

We ordered a “VC” class van (check out the website), but instead we got a “VEL” class van (an Iveco Daily to be precise), which is a lot larger, and (oh, boy!) has an electric tail lift! (The last time we rented a van from Budget, the same thing happened. Do you think it’s policy?)

Iveco Daily

Anyway, almost all my stuff fitted in there, like a large desk, two beds, several closets and a load of boxes. I’m not moving much furniture, because we already have a completely furnished house in Zeeland. I’ve been able to sell my dining room table and chairs, a side table and a couple of other things. However, I’m still stuck with my two couches – nobody seems to want those.

Unemployed

As of today, I am jobless…

Well, I’ll be busy packing at home, because I am planning to move sometime next week. I am moving to Zeeland, in the southwest of the Netherlands. My wife already lives there, so, since I am now no longer bound to Delft, because of my job, I can finally move in with her…
