Already noticed that, you said you liked it here. One of the national hobbies is complaining how bad it is; the weather, the prices, the railways.
..and the rent is too damn high!

Den Bosch, guess that is South.
I have noticed people complaining about weather not other things though, yet. The look like they are not able to process the information when my response about weather is that it's good.
Some did tell me rent is high but I am OK with paying a little more as long as I live in the center (don't need a parking spot so nothing to complain).

It's usually also not as bad as they make it out to be. Have a kroketje!

Good to hear from you again, be careful not to get involved in the "Zwarte Piet" discussion which is getting quite heated by now

I am not going to discuss anything sensitive here since most of you appear to be giants to puny little me and I don't want to get beat up.

I'm not sure whether I recognize you, but I do recognize the sig:

...which I've always disagreed with, because JavaScript and VB6 aren't difficult to "decipher". The difficult thing to understand, if anything, is WTF they were thinking.

Sounds like a good advice, one that i surely need if I ever have the chance to move Netherlands.

Hi All,
Feel the need to release bile. There has been a security update. 'SECURITY' the end result is I had to use my personal mobile (I don't have a company one) to down load the Microsoft Authentication App and run it to be allowed to get in to my email (Outlook) I then had to use it again to open Word  is wrong! If I have to use it for every M$ App I will not be doing much. To start to empty my bile ducts I sent a very blunt email to the Head of Corperate security, think it would land on his get caught by his fire wall...One of help desk people was on the phone to him and I was mentioned by name as having written a blunt email (I did remove the 'Elephant you and horse you rode in on'), might be looking for a new job on Monday!

Don't forget to include the invoice for the new fully loaded phone you're buying for work and its service plan on todays expense report, or all the hours you spend farting around with security theater instead of working as a separate line item on your time sheet.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I doubt he got it. After all, he has to use the MAA to open his Outlook email too. And probably for each email!

Well I am told mine was respectful & very blunt. Tomorrow as hols, turn up Monday, Jobcenter - Tuesday Well I am defended by my Line Manager who in her Email pointed out I had more experience of security (MOD) than anyone else and while I was finding it awkward/unmanageable something really needed to done.

At least you have the support of your manager, I don't even have that.
To be honest I find its best to just keep my head down between the hours of 8am-4pm weekdays and accept the bank balance increase once a month. But perhaps that's just me.

I'd have just said that I don't have a smartphone (I actually have four), so I will no longer be available by e-mail.

Two former employers tried something like that too.
Luckily, I was the only person without a company phone (exactly for this reason) so I told them I'd no longer be using my phone for work related stuff.
The first company decided it wasn't worth it and I never heard from the new security measures again and for the second company I actually ended up deleting my mails from my phone
