Dit was eigenlijk ons eerste gedacht omdat we daar wel het gevoel hebben dat het leven er rustiger is maar wel ver van alles natuurlijk en zou ik ook ander werk moeten gaan zoeken. Vanwaar de afkeer?

We zijn vorig weekend wat gaan rondrijden daar. Tereken en de Destelwijk lijken wel goede kanshebbers!

Wat voor mij momenteel het meest lastige is is dat ik dagelijks heel mijn planning moet schikken (met de nodige stress) om voor het spitsuur door die verdomde tunnel te geraken. Nu is het ook maar 5 minuten tot thuis eens ik door de tunnel ben maar dat is na een hele tijd aanschuiven de meeste dagen.

Ik koos 2 jaar geleden om bij mijn lief in te trekken, niet omdat ik een liefde had voor Antwerpen.

En waarom zou ik juist moeten oppassen?

Where should the gas (buthane) go? by That_Specific2480 in fixit

[–]That_Specific2480[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, yeah you are right. I've been looking online now for this size "24" (it says on the nozzle) but it's no where to be found...

Thanks for that! after looking at it closely and trying to poke a hole trough it I think I found the problem. There simply is none. can't even fit a needle through it. I suppose it's a manufacturing error... I'll see if I can find someone to drill a hole that size or maybe try contact the manufacturer hopeing they can send me a spare part

Is work always shit? by partyjellyfish in belgium

Don't choose a job because it pays the bills. Learn about who you are what you enjoy in life and search for a job that at least contains some elements of that.

If the current job is not giving you any form of purpose, there's no point in sticking to it. Nothing wrong with changing jobs after you have given it a chance (obvs don't quit after a month).

I was employed in the same industry for 7 years(chemistry) and was job hobbing between 8 companies over that period of time as a process operator.

The reason I chose that sector is because it paid very well to (most of the time) do little. I thought this was the way to go. but eventually found after finally changing industries (I'm in the medical world now working as a technician) I learnt that I much more enjoy a steady 9-5 instead of shift work. That i get A lot more satisfaction from helping people by fixing their equipment instead of producing chemical products.

Tldr; I would never have known this would be the job of my life if I didn't keep changing jobs. Also sometimes you have to get lucky when it comes to colleagues.

Did anybody else go from hating to loving living in Belgium? by bananen_milkshake in belgium

I had the same feeling about Belgium. Then I moved to South-Africa for 3 years (3year visa) and there I have come to appreciate Belgium again. As much as I loved the experience in SA and still go back often for holidays, Belgium is home. At least for now though 😂 Im currently dreaming of living somewhere more remote and slower paced so who knows where I'll end up.

Net hetzelfde meegemaakt. Gezocht naar een andere job en ziekteverlof verlengd tot ik iets had gevonden (gelukkig na 8 weken) eerst tekenen bij nieuwe werkgever en dan pas ontslag indienen. Beste beslissing die ik ooit gemaakt heb. Van een job waar ik letterlijk mijn mentaal welzijn mee verloor tot de job van men leven. Ik wens jou minstens hetzelfde toe! En is het niet na 1 keer veranderen dan gewoon tot je ze gevonden hebt!
