On the Fast Lane (for a Change)

Jeh!!! Got me an apartment now, in the middle of freaking Amsterdam! *insert veeeery big smile here*

Everything went SO smoothly that I'm really shocked.
• Tuesday evening: I found apartment from the Internet, call to receiver.
• Wednesday morning: I made few calls before opening time, got the visiting time for the same day.
• Wednesday afternoon: I took some time off from the work and visited the apartment first (half an hour earlier I was there, so I guess that was a good idea).
• Same Wednesday: I was happy with the apartment and landlady was happy with me -> deal! Off to the agency to fill in preliminary papers.
• Later in Wednesday: Started fixing the financing stuff really fast with HR.
• Thursday morning: Meeting with HR. They promised to see if I can get my relocation package in advance (even though I've been asking about it for two months ;-)
• Thursday later: Money arranged, rent contract signed, moving in next week.
• Conclusion: within 40 hrs from c/o to my own central apartment, yes!!!

And besides the weather forecast sun is actually really really shining! :D

PS: I wonder should I get me a small boat. Just for cruisin' the city, you know :-P
