A very big deal for me and my fellow citizens! It was definitely going to be a good day, but little did I know that, simultaneously, something delightful happened at the office as well. And I supposed to be the subject of it\u2026 . One of my colleagues took over a phone call for me.<strong>The police was on the the line , the chief of police to be exact!<\/strong> My colleague realised, maybe a bit too slow, that it was going to be a pleasant conversation. A personal conversation as well, far from violations and cold cases. The chief of police asked (numerous times) if he could have a word with me. The ego of my colleague was close to destruction when she could finally convince him that I was absent and that she could help him just as good.<strong>He apparently wanted to send me a bouquet of flowers<\/strong>. Say what? I was freshly engaged at that time, and my colleague is quite the fan of playing inappropriate scenarios in her head. But the motivation had a decent origin: gratitude! It is not the first time that debtors (and creditors) thank us for our efforts in finding the best solution possible for a financial problem, but it w\u00e1s the very first time that we would receive a bouquet of flowers as a thank you for our service. \u201c<em>Because we probably have to deal with frustrations and difficult files all the time, and a small gesture could probably mean a world of difference<\/em>.&#8221; Most certainly! The next day I arrived unsuspectingly at the office, though my colleagues had a hard time believing that I was oblivious to the flowers. I couldn\u2019t blame them, since I was wearing a yellow top and a floral printed trousers\u2026 . Perfect for the obligatory photo that followed.<strong>So thank you generous donor<\/strong>, these kind of gestures are hugely appreciated! #happydebtors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/kdp-bloemen.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8891\" title=\"\" loading=\"eager\" fetchpriority=\"high\" width=\"768\" height=\"672\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>September 2019 was a phenomenal month<\/strong> for or company. We were able to give a lot of creditors and debtors an amicable happy ending, time for a party! With the part of the team that was present, we filled our bellies with delicious Italian food in the Leuven city center.<strong>Such bonding moments with my fellow colleagues are very important to me, especially when pasta is involved!<\/strong> We work for the same cause and reap the same rewards. #butfirstfood<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<em><strong>Thank you, Kimberly!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ANNUAL TCM REVIEW 2019 Kimberly De Preter: Credit Controller The end of the year is approaching, time for some (self-)reflection!
