But we already got a lock! Elke got me this Kryptonite lock, which is hard enough to kill a person with if you like. There’s even a 1 year insurance included (up to $3000), so I guess they have to be some what secure :D

Our first week went quite okay. My new colleagues at Monumental Games seem like a fun bunch (ARE a fun bunch, in case they are reading this :P). It is pretty crazy to be thrown into game development like that, but except for the sore eyes and the headaches, I think I’m getting used to it.

The atmosphere is quite relaxed though (except for the hard work), so I’m feeling right at home. Today I was even asked to install Battlefield 2 on my machine at work, so I don’t think it can get much better ;)

And we have a bank account! That didn’t go easy. Apparently it’s easy to rip off banks (when will the English realize an ID card would do them good) so they don’t really trust you much when you enter their banks for a first time. But that’s been taken care of, finally, and now we’re just waiting for our cards to arrive because without them we’re pretty much screwed.

So still no phone (see above, still waiting for those bank cards). But we have Skype right?

Lunch breaks have been great up until now. Elke meets me at work, we sit in the sun on Old Market Square (which is always crowded, full of people and food stands and shops etc. I’m sorry but Anderlecht? I don’t really miss you) and enjoy some home made sandwiches. Next week will be different though, since Elke will be working for a while longer in Belgium. But then we’ll have Battlefield 2 to keep us busy, I guess.

So, that sort of sums up all I can think of. Think we’ll crash in the sofa and watch a movie. And enjoy not having to get up at 8am tomorrow :P
