Gotta hire a company to manage their upkeep.
Fuck that reminded me of an amazing moment on Monday morning. There was hardly anyone in and the guy who waters the plants was doing the rounds. Old guy, looks like someone’s granddad, friendly face. He was finding it amusing practicing his English and hearing Dutch people speaking English, giggling to himself as he went around. Then when he was done, he started making comments to anyone in earshot about it being a hot day. I turned to talk to him as did a few others, when he starts saying “It’s going to be a long day I think, maybe instead of the water I should be giving the plants beer!”. I laughed at the absurdity, then he said “Particualrly hard when you’ve been drinking all night. I’ve only had four hours sleep. I am not well!” then stood there chuckling to himself before turning and leaving. No idea if it was true, a joke or something lost in translation but had to do a double take at this unassuming man watering the plants revealing how hard he’d been at it the night before.
