Spring In Da House

Yep. Signed sick again. After 4-5 hours at work my eyes got sore, started burning again and I could see less and less.
I worked the 8 hours, though.
My customer wanted something "new", something "emotional" for a campaign - now! Leave everything else I was told after lunch (!!) and come up with an idea.
I did and "secretly" asked my colleague what she thinks of it - actually she has another job, but this was urgent, right?

She suggested to take something we already have, that´s quick and easy.

Umm. I tried to change it to the "emotional" side, didn´t take the time to put together aproper screenshot, explained in words and sent the mail.

Customer said, yay! The third one!!! I thought, huh? Which third one?!

This misunderstanding made the new design - we´re such a good team, huh?!

Sadly I´m signed sick today - team leader even wanted to drive me home in my car and forced me to "pass" an "eyesight test", then let me drive home.
Booy. It got worse and worse! So, this morning I walked to the doc again.



Nope, she not a cow horse, she´s really good. Saw that horse later in town. Left eye 95% healed, right one 80%.
Have to wear the "band-aids" aka too big contact lenses at least til Thursday!
But she said, check the optometrist downstairs, they´re specialised on contacts.

The girl there said, ummm... difficult, I´ll search for them. Came back after a while, smiling - yep, we have them smaller - this last/only pair!
15 €, she said. Her colleague added an "each", yikes! Boss just passed by and said, no, pair, phew!

And. Guess what?! Since I have the right size here... the old ones are ok! WT...???

Well. Let´s see, if I don´t need them, I´m pretty sure they take em back.
Did I mention I just read a book about funny coincidences and lucky ones, too?

Team-leader called for instructions on the new project (buhuuuu) and then said, hey, you need to bring the sick certificates in asap!

So. After the gym I walked home, collected them all and marched aaaall the way back.
In that freezing weather, too!
Later I saw a bunch of kids with icecream in hand! Brrrr....

I left our house, turned around the corner to find this:



An offer to take the stuff - for free.
Did I mention I love the place where we live???

After a stop at the company I walked on the the health insurance company and on the way to the drugstore I thought... hmmm.

Something is missing!
Wrong!
Someone is missing, Ingo! Since we moved together and survived Ingo´s severe sickness, we made it a Monday-ritual to walk hand in hand to the city.
Every Monday. hence, I never go on another day, never alone.

I cheered up, though, thinking I can now take aaaaaall the time I want to browse the store Ingo doesn´t like that much, especially not now - outside it´s minus-temps, you wear thick clothes. Inside the staff sits in T-Shirts! You get cooked! True!!!

I could handle the heat and took my time and brought some spring with me for our living room:



Looove it!

And got some exceptional tea and hence also something for the Adventcalendar for my friend! Yes. Advent. Now. Hehe :-)

So much shopping makes one thirsty, huh? The drug-store also has drinks - I couldn´t resist and took these two:



The "Maus (cit: "It is not uncommon for children to watch the program with their parents or for children to stop watching around the age of 10 or 12 and then come back at the age of 18." * - sooo true, most of my colleagues and we watch it too on Sunday mornings) and Shaun The Sheep.
And then thought after paying, yikes!!! If you drink it now, you get a crap pic! So.... dumb me went home thirsty!
I passed some other shop Ingo dislikes (really, that´s for women only), design forum and got a pressie for my colleague and pressies for the two coming years for my friend P. :-)
And one thing I got for Ingo at butlers, fitting to his new toy - pics come when toy is ready.

Gotta rail against Team-leader for making this such an expensive day for me! ;-)
