Exposed

May 15, 2008

Again, we at Marcus & HeinZ got some nice exposure. Our work on the ‘Nunca Mais’ video from Zuco 103 was mentioned. Pretty nice, since we’ve only just begun. The sky is the limit.

One Step Closer

April 25, 2008

One of our first works as Marcus&HeinZ, is next Monday, 28 April, to be shown on Dutch prime time television in the program ‘De Wereld Draait Door‘. It’s the new music video from the band Zuco103. The song is called ‘Nunca Mais’ and it can be listened to on their MySpace.

Oh, and did I mention that we’ve only just started, like a month ago. And already on prime time television. Yes, I’m proud. Now I want to go and celebrate. Luckily, Dex has to perform tonight and we already decided to go to West Pacific. I have a sense that Oh What A Night Part II is about to be born.

Friday Myday

April 18, 2008

Friday has always been the best day in the week. Well, at least according to me. I’m a big fan of the friday-afternoon-drink-at-the-office (I’m also okay with the friday-afternoon-drink-in-the-pub). But it’s been so long since I was at an office (any office) on a friday afternoon, that the whole friday feeling has vanished a bit. I just realized this, sitting at home behind my MacBook (why say laptop if you own a Mac?). My friends in Venlo mostly start their friday at 9.30 PM, while in Amsterdam, we start at 4.00 PM. You see the difference? The whole idea of the friday-afternoon-drink-at-the-office is gone. Just like that. It’s time I get a grip on my study and finish it already. Then we need to find an office for Marcus&HeinZ. And then we need to reinstall the friday-afternoon-drink-at-the-office. We’ll even make it official by implementing this into the companies values and beliefs.

The Office NL

April 17, 2008

There’s a “meet and greet” going on at the office where I work. This means that potential employees meet up with clients under the supervising eye of Randstad personnel. It’s a bit crowded in the front, where I usually sit, so I’m tucked away in the back. With nothing going on.

My boss just came in and asked what I do on an evening like this. This conversation actually took place:

Me: “Well, pretty much nothing.”
He: “You wanna like gossip?”
Me: “Sure. We can also talk about football.”

I love it here.

EDIT: A guy is strolling next to my window. He’s watching me while he sips his beer. What a tease. The bastard.

Working 5 To 9

April 7, 2008

I have started a new job at the 24 hour service of Randstad Airport Services. The job is actually pretty nice and laid back, which I’m not used to. But, it also involves working a night shift. Hence the "24 hour service". An airport never closes, so why should an office that is responsible for people working at said airport? Seems reasonable to me. So, my alarm is going off in four hours, and I can’t get no sleep. I’m a nightcrawler, always have been. I like nights. They’re so quiet and peaceful. I’m at my best at night. So the night shift should suit me.  

PS: one of the reasons I can’t get no sleep at this ridiculous early hour may also be the f-ing car alarm that has been going off for like an hour. Car alarms are overrated. 

EDIT: All in all it wasn’t that bad. The only problem was that from 11 AM on till 3.30 PM I was knocked out. But the idea that you’ve already made money while everyone else is going to their jobs is pretty funny. This fact hit me on the train, where I saw all these agonizing, silenced faces of people going to their jobs/university. And I was going home to my warm bed. I like nights.  

Well It’s Simply Everything
