Dear Maartje

You should know that there is one person in the Netherlands who always, ALWAYS reads everything that is on Amayzine. Even before it goes online. She lives in Drachten. I find it very embarrassing that I had to Google this place for a moment, but it is in Friesland. Her name is Maartje (or MaartjeMaartjeMaartje as we say here, yep, inside joke) and Maartje is a grammar nazi with an unconditional love for text. So she had to be in our team.

And, since Drachten is a bit far from our office (150 kilometers to be precise), Maartje works from home. For a number of years now. But today, my friends, is a momentous day. Not only because the king has a birthday, but because our Maartje Came To The Office For The First Time. To have lunch, to high five, to be shown around the office; the whole shebang. Long story short: she immediately scored a thousand bonus points because she brought a PACKAGE FULL OF TREATS. Something with buttery fudge and macadamia nuts covered in chocolate. And even a sweet card with some healthy pealthy shizzle for Simoon. I mean: come on people, don’t we have the best editor in the country? Just saying.

P.S.: And, Maartje, you will probably get the grammar jitters from this, but NO, I did not forward this piece to you. A person should also be surprised sometimes, right? Lekkah puh.
