I'm in the Netherlands. I hate orange. I work in a bookstore, but I find it boring. I like to dance. I'm not interested in fashion.
I work in the mornings. I am a bank teller, but I'm not sure how much longer I'll be working as one. I have one child, and am pregnant with twins. I don't like to dance. I have a new house. I used to be vegan, but I crave steak with my pregnancy.
How have you been feeling with your pregnancy? When are you planning on going on maternity leave from the bank? I've been doing okay, thanks for asking. Pretty tired but that's to be expected I suppose. I'm planning on staying full-time at work until I'm 7 months.  You must be really dedicated. I can barely stand my job as is, I couldn't imagine doing it while carrying another person around and potentially being sick often. The maternity benefits are pretty rubbish so that's why I'm hoping to stay on as long as possible. I'm hoping the sickness will get better soon. That's a shame to hear but that's pretty common from what I understand. Least since this is your second pregnancy you'll know what to expect and can hopefully handle things better. Yeah, it just sucks with how backwards the US is in regards to maternity leave and things. What is it like in the Netherlands/. We're a bit more progressive on issues like maternity and paid leave in general, but that doesn't mean we don't have our own problems. Still I like living here and couldn't imagine living anywhere else. I would love to move abroad but I think at this point it will definitely just stay a dream :( I imagine it's hard to save funds when you have a kid and two more on the way. Do you think you'll ever switch careers to maybe something more lucrative ... or maybe decide you want to spend more time with your kids? Hopefully. I think I am going to try and set up a business from home once the twins are here. Working for myself would give more flexibility Working from home sounds like fun. You'll get to see your family more and even set your own hours. I imagine it requires a good deal of self discipline, but I'm sure you have that in spades. Yes, I just really need to think of a good idea and then go with it. Fingers crossed as it would make my life so much easier.
