Got my hair cut. Instructed all my colleagues to tell me the next day that my hair looked different.

Also gave the parking permit people a call, they claimed that they had been a bit busy and that 8 weeks was currently the waiting time for handing out permits. Which probably explains why after 4 weeks I'm still without. I fear that this means it will take them 8 weeks to send back a letter telling me I forgot to tick a box somewhere on the form.

But... with a bit of luck I'll be completely settled in Rotterdam after only 4 or 5 months.
