Getting used to work
Slowly I'm getting used again to working. Besides the work itself, that I like, and the colleagues, who are nice, there are some additional factors that make me like working here: internet and coffee.
One of the (very few) things that I missed while I was in Bulgaria was full-time internet access. Here in Holland I'm never more than a few hours without internet. I'm so used to being online all the time -- to have Google available, to be able to send emails, checking the news etc.
Both today and yesterday I had some great espresso. I agreed with myself not to go there too often, but for these first days I allow myself an exemption.

Getting used to work
Exemption
Exemption is the whole or partial release of an ecclesiastical person, corporation, or institution from the authority of the ecclesiastical superior next higher in rank, and the placing of the person or body thus released under the control of the authority next above the former superior, or under a still higher one, or under the highest authority of all, the pope.

Exception
public Exception()
Constructs a new exception with null as its detail message. The cause is not initialized, and may subsequently be initialized by a call to Throwable.initCause(java.lang.Throwable).

All right, all right. Perhaps it would have been better to write: "but for these first days I allow myself an exception".
But, in the Dutch-English dictionary "Groot Woordenboek Van Dale Engels-Nederlands":
Exemption:
II <telb.en n.-telb.zn.> 0.1 vrijstelling => ontheffing 0.2 onschendbaarheid => immuniteit.
