opening party at the office

i met a million people tonight, chatted it up like i knew what i was doing. got a bit lost en route to the office, but eventually found my way. as i walked in, everybody knew who i was... everybody was drunk... i received hugs, kisses, and drinks all night -- it was a great time! seems like all of amsterdam knew i was coming to work - quite funny. ran into some italians visiting from genova, one of the guys says he'll hook me up for a job in italy no problem because he likes me... made a ton of contacts and everyone is super excited i'm here, which makes me feel more at ease i guess. the guy who hired me, is so happy im here, and it looks like there will just be 3 of us, as everyone else has finished or moved on. another dutch girl who went to university with him and myself. so this should be interesting... i am more at ease for showing up to this thing, nothing like drunk dutch people to put your worries at bay.
