A Pressie



On the way to my Health Insurance company I overheard this couple.
He said to her, "every day ist a present".

What a coincidence (and truth).

The same woman who took care of me at the insurance was there again.
She remembered me and said, "you´re off medication, are you? You look much healthier and way more alert".

That´s what I later told my lady from the employment office (4 minutes "hold the line") and hence she understood how bad that year (apart from medication-free Perth) was.

Ingo´s colleague, btw, asked how my interview went, cause it all sounded so great.
Ingo said I declined... as it is Wolfsburg to which he immediately exclaimed he would never go to work there.
He has a friend. It takes him around 20 minutes for 50 km in the morning to get from Salzgitter to Wolfsburg (how darn fast is he going??? No, we have no tempo-limit at most places).
Then 30 minutes through Wolfsburg to get to his workplace, and 45 minutes back (plus to get back to Salzgitter).

Wolfsburg > Volkswagen plant > chaos.

I am to see my doc, my employment-lady said, to get proof I cannot drive more than 10km due to anxiety and Braunschweig it likely will be.
I´m so glad I have her!!! Begin of July I´ll see my doc, please cross your fingers.
It´s about life. And life-quality!!!

Yes, every day is a pressie - never take meds if your body says no, don´t listen blindly to "the gods in white" aka doctors who only want to make money by not listening to you but subscribe unnecessary stuff!

Make sure your work-life-balance is OK in a lot of ways (I understand it won´t be perfect, but Wolfsburg... please, no....)

Lion of the day:



At the Cathedral.

Unscrupulous doctors do make life miserable. Sad.

Lots of words of wisdom here. I'm glad you've found a good employment counselor to work it. That makes a huge difference. And yay for no med!

And yes, every day IS a pressie!
