T STands For All Good

 

With this healthy shot I join Elizabeth´s T today. As you can see this is still from my workspace.

Also we´re on the way to Perth. Internet might take 24 hours to get, so bare with me if I do not react.

 The journal: 

Monday: Wow. ESE has ~450 peeps. And CEO#1 personally sent me Birthday-wishes and said to enjoy the new year of my life. On Friday. I only found today shortly after 06:00 a.m.

Answered that I will enjoy, especially Perth and also thanked him that I am allowed to take such a long holiday.

"Enjoy, I´m on a business trip in San Francisco right now!"

Weee... this is some cool company! And I hope he saw 06:08 a.m.  - I had no chance to see his wishes on Friday!

He then answered he just landed and has a beer to get tired. Some boss, huh!

 

On the way to the present-seminar on fire-protection on trains... branches small and thick everywhere and storm still, luckily no rain, it was tough enough without a brolly!

The colleague who held the seminar wore a shirt that was "on fire"!!! I told him I love it. No one else said this, how sad.

Went with the guys to Maccas. 2 burgers, one of the burgers even a double-burger plus fries as one meal.

You can imagine how they looked when after half a chicken-burger I said I´m full 😂🍔

 

Tuesday: I could "cry". mK created wrong names, added missing sites and I found out by chance, M let me know he has created a new design. Professional mail to the team, now let´s see. Kindergarten! Made an app with my teamleader.

 

Went to doc. We chatted about fears (him, being a surgeon having family-members wanting him to operate, me car/train), nice HOLIDAYS (he is Greek), "lost cars", was fun, an hour!

Deutsche Bahn: longest strike in German history, yes, thank you. Went to main train station ... too long

Weird people on the tram.

 

Wednesday: What.A.Day! Present-meeting. SO STORMY! Saw too late fK´d offered me a ride...

mK is under control now, it was plain awesome (he joined via teams).

Yay to female leaders who have guts! J took stupid work away from me on top and told me she talked to CEO#2 - he knows it was never my fault we made no progress!

Later executive H called me and also told me she went to CEO#1 and told him mK had no right..blablabla and that I work VERY well with and for her - explains the Birthday wishes from CEO#1!

aT is sick. My Aussie Lenovo, oh, no!!! Admin T (somehow  all their names start with T) offered, as he lives close by, to get and deliver it to me.

NICE!

"Where do you live?"  - "R10". another T-admin: "OH! In that house that was on fire 🔥 lately?!"

Well, now they all know where I live, as it was in the news...

fK hugged me three times - the plane won´t crash, we´ll be back!

 

Ingo came home: He really got two seats on a flix-bus to Frankfurt!!! 

A day FULL OF GREAT! 

Sick aT called and offered his Dad will bring my Lenovo!

Did I ever mention I LOVE my colleagues????

Thursday: teams-meeting with my teamleader, I made the app, wanted to keep it short (30 minutes max), wanted her to know, not to do - 11 minutes - I am good, huh? She got all I said and... GOOD.

I was honest. fK agreed it was the right thing to do.

Baby mK still has his fits, but I give that to J now. Amazing how he keeps behaving like a three-year-old! 

Great-Grandpa, aka Uroppa, my old Aussie-Lenovo, was delivered by TJ, I had a lille fruit-cuppa as thank you, got all systems running, yippeee. 

Ingo got a confirmation we´ll be on that bus to Frankfurt. Good day. 

 

Friday: Awwwww, sooooo sweet, teams-call, C. Called to wish me a good trip! He´s Ingo´s age, we had one project together and he has such a Northern accent I adapt immediately as I was near Hamburg as kid every summer. Like a mini-holiday before the real holiday 😍

I now have his private address so can send a postcard. The other colleagues all are in Braunschweig. Never before did I have such great colleagues that I sent postcards! 

fK and L also chatted a long good-bye.

Ingo went to the city for some missing things and got me another new meal from NAMASTE. That way he can have chop and everybody is happy, no great cooking before the big holiday 😘

Weekend: Saturday: See title: All good!!!! I was so worried about W, after all he is in his 80´s, I could not reach him! Both doorbells are maybe broken but now I have his phone number, too! All good!

Had a question to my doc. Started as he did, "Dear Dr. T..." just to see his last answer via mail came... on a Sunday. He is 10 years younger than me and feels rather like a brother. Also my only male Dr. How about you, do you care if male or female whom you trust your life to?

 

Had apples I cannot eat up. Bell-test with W, all good - he loved the apples. He wanted to buy some but they didn´d look good. Problem for both us solved! Chatted over an hour. He made me sit on his late wife´s place.

Sunday: Cleaning and packing after Die Maus.

Cleaning also means E-Mail: I sent a word for you from my work, here goes: Anforderungsnachvollziehbarkeitsmatrix - what weirdo comes up with that???

It´s a matrix to trace back requirements...

Henry 🦁

 

We´ll be back, Henry!

 

P.S. This is a post I prepared in Braunschweig. We happily are on the way to Perth by now - I hope! Maybe we have no internet yet, so bare with me if I´m not visiting...
