  20. We are in the apartment. Missing some key items like desk, items of bedding (DPD is invariably disappointing), dresser. But we have a kettle and soon I will at least have a clean and dry fluffy blanket to cry under so there is that.

  24. Just waited for days for dpdNL to “deliver” the remaining 2 items of a 3 item order and like seriously, they don’t even try? Driver rang the buzzer and was gone within ~30 seconds. I didn’t make it in time, clearly didn’t try anyone else. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.
  25. …in reply to @icanzilb
    icanzilb dpdNL It’s such a nightmare because you buy something because you want it and then you get the DPD email and know that the chances of it ever arriving are approaching zero.

    DPD support is as good as their delivery drivers. What am I supposed to do now, dpdNL ?!

    icanzilb dpdNL It was the same in Ireland too. I think when it’s working I don’t notice which one it is, but when things inexplicably don’t arrive with no communication… It’s always DPD.

    We slept in the apartment last night. The sheets were incredibly soft so that was a win. On the downside I woke up in the middle of the night having an asthma attack which hasn’t happened since I was a child. I think residual cat in the apartment is trying to kill me 😭

  63. …in reply to @catehstn
    I used mine (+ quite a bit more) on coaching training: coactive.com/training/curriculum-details/ Also had speaker tickets for several TheLeadDev Together events (also popular with my team).

  88. NL is in “lockdown” meanwhile my life is the most normal since March 2020?!? Yesterday I went to Amsterdam, hung out with a friend, first art gallery in a year. Now I’m out for brunch and headed for the gym. Where I can workout WHENEVER and the only limit is closing time 🤯
  89. …in reply to @catehstn
    Ireland has so many rules but doesn’t seem to enforce any of them. Everything has been out of control since the gvt changed last year, opened the pubs. NL has very few rules, strictly enforced. My vax pass gets checked EVERYWHERE. Things are similarly out of control.
  90. …in reply to @catehstn
    I don’t know what to make of any of this but it’s nice to be able to do things again. For reference… Lockdown in IE: constrained to 5km radius, everything non-essential is shut. Lockdown in NL: restaurants etc shut at 6pm, essential shops at 8pm. Vaccine passes everywhere.
