stealing Another day at the workshop. My friend in the Stockroom was not there, friday. I missed him, he is my go-to person, when i am not sure how to handle certain bike problem. He is also, the only one, who thinks, about more then the last beer he drank. He has some history.. My oh! my! and i thought i did some weird, scary stuff? Há, he is from an totall other category...  Anway, we get along fine, also talk alot about the political situation, now, In Holland, with the extreme right wing government coming up... I am known, to have some real extreem oppinion, He? Well, he is even worst then i am!! am not easy shocked, by things people say, i always think; Yeah, well , thát is an oppinion, too. Nothing more. Anyway, this day, i had to do it on my own. I got it done, pretty well! Almost finished an other bike. There are some small tasks left to do, but the majority of the repair is done! I fixed it! Light, brakes, sadle, back tire, the chain, too I want to check something, about this bike, too... I am not sure if it is in a good condition, but for that to know for sure, i would like to hear Stockroom mans oppinion... I think, i can do it on my own.... Just for reassurance. The sour man was not there, the atmosphere was totally different. I dont believe they let him repair bikes anymore. He is scheduled to make little packets for summer houses. The people"working" there rob and steal almost anything, from about anyone, they can get their hands on. I never take my phone with me, always wear my wallet on my body, my keys too... Some almost look like "normal"  people, but if you start a conversation with them, you notice there is something going on, something strange, others, you can distinctively see, there is something wrong in the upstairs department. Most are on drugs, anti depressiva and the likes... Heavy mental cases..... There is this woman, she needed her medicine, but they had mixed her recipe up, so she was without medicine. I did not know what was happening! Shouting and screaming and very, very ....hmm, active, let me use that word.... for her behaviour. The staff talked about it, in the cantina...... The other day, she had the right kind of medicine, again, and she was a totall other person. One flew over the cuckoos nest in the light version! I am just minding my own businiss. keep a low profile..... and a watchful eye for the folks around me... I very much like it, that i found someone, who i can talk with, about politics, and also economics, worldwide..... He always tells me, all(most all) about his past, hmmm, not all was very "nice",to say the least. Tells me, about all his scars all over his body,.... We talk about how badly Holland treated the people from Indonesia. And still do. How the Japanese soldiers? tortured the women in those horrible camps. Sooo much hate ! Talk about the Orange head in The Us or the old man..... It is refreshing to have found someone, i can talk with, about the politics, worldwide criminal acts...From Shell, Esso and the likes.... He knows almost as much as i do..that is really nice! We never talk about this, when there are others around. They have this bike plan, for real poor familys, they can get a bike, if they have a paper for the local government, to show, they have a right on a bike, for their , to get to school on. I am working on those bikes, too. Make them all nice and shiny! as good as new~! |

Every day can be a totall surprise, working there. I am happy, i work in my own place, dont have to mingle too much with the other folks.... There are always people around, who keep an eye out, for when situations can explode.... They also walk around, a lot.. very fidgety....

great job fixing the bike. That's a good feeling. I used to carry a small tookkit when I rode and often I'd see some one broken down and could fix their bike. That made us both happy. I did some IT consulting once at a place where they had to put a huge alarm on the back door. Much of the product was walking out that way until the alarm started going off and the employees couldn't sneak it out. Honesty is always a choice we make.

boh, thank you. I am planning on having such a tool kit with me, too. The stupid thing is, the place has camera surveilance.. so, when someone gets out with a bike, or other large objects, they are on camera! It is also about having some moral / ethical codes.. Those folks just dont have those.... anymore......
