back on track

Today it is official: all of the Netherlands is pulling up their office chairs again for a brand new school year. But it's not just students who are tackling it with fresh courage; most of us in the office are really saying goodbye to that oh so nice summer vibe.

 
Because vacation, you were great, but it is really time for the next step. Next stop: Pilotenstraat. It’s about time my desk gets dusted off to get its Insta-worthiness back. And I’m just guessing that my desk isn’t the only one that has suffered from a ‘I’ll do that after my vacation’ situation. That’s why I’ve gathered the ten best must-haves for you and your partner in work crime. Bet you’ll want to stay behind your desk forever? Okay, except on Saturday afternoons with a weather score of ten. Because we’re not done with that summer in the city yet.
