The good thing about getting old(er) is... I don´t care that much anymore.
I wore a... Perthies know... "the" jeans-skirt (by golly!! It´s so practical!) and simply put on sneakers.
Doesn´t look pretty, but, darn, I´m much faster than with thongs/flip flops :-)
Why the hurry?
I wanna be amongst the first at the job center as I hate to wait!
(I was two minutes early)
See, even the water was still asleep when I rushed by!
And it happened again! They sent me to second floor, oh, nooo, not that stupid lady again!!!
No! :-) It was a younger one, she spoke clearly, shut the window when I mentioned my bad ear and knew her job, too, she helped me with data and all, sent me down to make the application online.
"There are people who can help you".
Wonderful!
(Way back home through Quarter Magni):
So, I went down, did not get lost, went up to their desk and said, "now, this is embarassing, I´m from IT but your system does not work at my home PC....".
The two ladies laughed so hard I just had to join! :-)
It´s a crap program, really.
They helped me so nice- and friendly, without their help it´d took me hours and lots of frustration, too - they had to ask their admin twice, as said, crap!!
Crap.
I always loved my job in IT.
But we were a "serious" bunch of guys.
What I witnessed there was so different!!!
Lots of laughter!
Yes, you cannot compare these jobs, my old one(s) and this one.
Yes, reckon I got more money - but they have way more fun!
17 years being "serious", oh, boy.
And what´s next? IT again... I guess.
Yes, I reckon they have customers who, unlike me, don´t say thank you loads, but have a different, not so nice range of words, and they have to handle that, too.
Maybe from 10:00 am on, after "the customers" slept in.
There is always good and bad.
But it was ... a whole new work-world I saw!
How is or was yours?
The weather was great the last days, just wonderful!!!
Just saying :-)
Lion of the day:
At Onkel Emma, our queere centre in Quarter Magni.

Beautiful captures and the rumbling narration :)
Thank you :-)
This is such a pretty and happy post Iris and honestly at this time in your life I feel a happy workplace would be more beneficial to more money xox
Yes, Grace, I think so, too! But I can and will take my time :-) xox
My workplace is okay. Quiet in the summer, though.
As long as it´s not too quiet and the days but crawl by as in mine back then at times...
You sound so up and positive in this post … I'm smiling :)
Love all your photographs, the flowers are so pretty.
All the best Jan
Thank you, Jan :-)
Such beautiful flowers, and I love the old houses at Magni Quarter and the beautiful doors.
I have a thing for pretty doors!
I love every photo in this post. Such wonderful scenes and beautiful blooms. And all your words make me smile with happiness. I'm glad to "see" and "hear" you smiling as you talk about this work. I'm glad it was good!
Jeanie, thank you - I was "just" applying for money, though...
Sami, yes, it´s a beautiful spot!!
