T STands For Terrific

 

 

Monday: the week started great - P called and said she passed her test, yipeeee!!!

I met two new male colleagues and both kept saying, "this is new to me". Hey, I am the new one!

Nice guys again.

 

Tuesday: Obviously we got hungry working together via MS Teams - we drifted to the subject burgers and steaks, P & I.

Poor Emil has had it. I leaned backwards and nearly fell, uhhhhh boy!

Also found out. It´s a kid´s chair. Yah, what else...

LOL - and I found the abbreviation AC / DC in one South African document. Now I wonder how old the author is!!!! Or young...

 

Wednesday... argh.

At first my T came around the corner via WhatsApp...

 

 

English-German mish-mash 🤣

Then the Parents in Law, then Ingo with the most beautiful bouquet of flowers from our Italians, then Bro, SIL and Nieces via phone - three hours!

What happens when I turn 100?!

 

Teamleader weekly 1:1 - not 30, but 4 minutes. He is quick 😁.

Started training again.

Thursday: My female teamleader panicked and asked me for help. The EHD (Enterprise Help Desk) reacted quickly, I was friendly and asked him for his number. He said he is not allowed to give this.

A while later I was added to his MS Teams list 😀

We got snow. Fat flakes falling from the sky, it looked beautiful and melted away quickly.

P said we soon have a meeting with Corona (German for COVID). 

I said.... "nooooo, I´m not in!!!" 

"Oh! I meant Corinna!!!!!"

🤣😂 OK, count me in then.

Training doubled.

 

Friday: Ingo was signed sick, couldn´t move his neck. Went grocery-shopping anyways and...

Pressie #1 yummiest beef jerky the moment I thought I need a snack (if home, it is work!).

 

 

Pressie #2 - the key to time-travel, awwww. 

And P & I talked about American Football, she showed me a cool trailer (don´t tell).

Pressie #3 - a Pirate with a shark!

 

Lunch:

 

 

Later training*3!

 

 

  

Saturday: Last home made Pizza-Muffin. 

Ingo repaired poor Emil.

 

And made soup. Bad smell, reminding me of when I was sent to a children´s home for three weeks. But as bonus Ingo added Brussels Sprouts and brought a huge bag, so I have enough to eat this week.

I started the book P recommended to me, post to come.

Sunday: Ingo needed to go pee at night and I knew American Footy was on. 

Light sleeper, got up and watched. Oh, boy. Reminded me of a European Bowl game that was very boring. 

Braunschweig: 53. French team: 0. The Braunschweig-guys hugged and patted the French ones when saying the big good-bye 🧡🏈.

We had Pellkartoffeln (cooked, unpeeled potatoes) with curd and I used Granma´s Piez to peel: 

(Think it´s an East Prussian word, "Piez").

And since this is for Elizabeth´s T stands for Tuesday .... another pressie:

 

"Mum"-wine is so old already  (we usually use wine for cooking only)... I think I wouldn´t take a sip 😉

 

Henry 🦁

 

Addendum: I´m more than super awake now. Wanted to go early to our shit#y REWE for Ingo and the whole main is street full of firefighters and their biggest trucks, all blue lights on.

I so freaked.

 

I think it was some kind of routine /exercise, but, by golly. They were everywhere and I at first had no idea if I am allowed to walk on, there were at least 20 in my way - I am small, had mask on and my glasses were foggy.

When I came back they were turning and the other side of the road was full.

To safety?

And hence to another great week, T-peeps...
