The first week of work

I had a five week holiday, wow, I can't believe five weeks went by so fast. In those five weeks I have been living together with Ginji and our two cats. My wife and our other two childeren are on a two month holiday to visit family in Tokyo. Since a party of five is too much Ginji and me stayed behind and had fun in our own way. Those five weeks have been a blast but like everything it came to an end.

Monday was my first day of work again. I love my job. I am living my childsdream. I am a cop. I love it! I have great collegues and a very interesting job. In fact it is so damn interesting that a shift flies by everytime. Unfortionally I can't talk much about my job. I definatly can't talk about my day or what happens, if I could this blog would be interesting instead of boring like it is now :)

Well, monday was my first day as a detective. Unlike in the US a detective isn't a promotion. It is a different sort of work within the Dutch policeforce. It is specialised work, there are my different specialities like big cases like murder, vice, youth. For one month I will be working violence and tread cases. I have quite a bunch of files on my desk. My job is to hear witnesses, to write down complaints, the arrest and hear suspects. It is pretty cool work and it isn't in uniform which is kinda relaxing cause I can wear what I want and I am not wearing a bullitproofvest all day long. Only when I go out I put it on.

This week was pretty intens. I am still alone with Ginji who went to my parents after school. Afster work I picked him up, we went home, did some housekeeping duty's and finaly could relax at 20:30. Much, much, much respect to single parents everywhere!
