T This Forward

 
With this yum I join Elizabeth´s T.
 
The journal:
 

Monday: Sunday I a got a "deal" for a training I find at 05:30 am. Today.
Who on a Sunday sends out this??? Is this a test??? Tuesday I have a meeting with ESE.
 
Doorbell: Neighbor fC... we had a long chat upon what nonsense goes on here in Germany.
The chimney sweep... she saved me 250 bucks, cause NO!!! 
Nonsense and sweet neighbors!!!!
And it´s only Monday morning!


Tuesday: Döner with fK. Got  a bit lost on the way to the Döner-man, though. Yes.
I live in Braunschweig since 2001...
Wasps all around. I stayed calm!!!! And shared the Döner... Boy, are wasps slow!

fK had the same direction as me later. 
 
We got lost!! Will you believe that! 
 
I was in time, though, at ESE and rang the bell - the secretary:
"Hiiiiii!!! 😍 Where is your token?!"
"I had to go, remember?"
She did not! So many had to go, she was happy to see me, really.
 
Nearly home, two cyclists, lost. Checked: There are other people. Looked down.
Please do not ask me for the way!!! Not after I got lost twice already today...


Wednesday: ESE it will be! With ALSTOM!!! fK called.... she will very likely stay, too.
fE (future teamlead) saw us hugging good-bye. She later told fK.
If you like see here, I woke up with Matrjoschka, it was funny. fK posted me a supercute bread-pic and I told her of Matrjoschka. Jips. East- and West-Germany again (she called).
"Wohnstube" vs "Wohnzimmer". 
East sounds cozier.
Waiting for fE to call me. fM (with the beautiful name) called.
They want me back. 
fC said funny things ALWAYS happen to me. I thought ??? but... yupp.

I sure am not lonely!!!
fK made sure again I do the right thing.




Thursday: fE: "You´ll get an ALSTOM-labtop. Do the best work you can cause afterwards I want to shoot the customer."  "You wanna do WHAT????"
German: erschießen > erschließen. 
It was early morning and her tongue was "still asleep" - well, I was wide awake 🤣🤣🤣 
She wants to "get" the new customer. We had a good laugh.


 
Doorbell. "Hi. This is my little girl-friend, umm...  Daughter, she needs to go, may she use your toilette?"
Took a while, the man was gone, lots of noise outside... it smelled of  ... you know. Girl said thank you.
These days you get VERY scared.
Being alone as a woman.
Ingo came home, saw it is the new building superintendent who put the girl in  the car. 
And the big noise was getting the lawn mower out of the cellar.

When you need to go you need to go!!!! SO SAD YOU GET SCARED THESE DAYS!

 
Friday: e-mail: Monday: teams-meeting with ALSTOM Vienna, Austria!!!!
fK called (sorry, Ingo...) ... 03:00 p.m. meeting at Grinsekatz with fK and boy did I come home with veggies and lessons! Post to come. Heck, I have so many pics to share! Also of the most polite cat next Saturday! 

 
Weekend: Saturday: Ingo still smells of vanilla. Hormones are a crazy thing! He did not when I was on "the pill"! I am sooooo tired.
American Football on Pro7. They do NOT translate to German 👍... and.. it is Vienna! Scary, these coincidences!
fK sent me a teams-link for Monday to check IT and Ingo made me learn to connect the cam.
 
Sunday: Too nervous for anything... (ALSTOM-interview tomorrow)
Hihi. Wrote to Jürgen´s Brewery - "I will not be home on Monday".
Paul: "Hi Iris, Tuesday it will be with the delivery".

Beans! I love beans, usually have them with other vegetables though. Carrots, onions, potatoes. I'm happy you have ESE and Alstom and so many friends to help out, but you got lost twice in the city you live in?? That's funny.

Iris Flavia said...

Braunschweig is a grown city, really chaotic. Even Ingo got lost...

Tom said...

...Iris, I'm glad that the contract is signed, I wish you best luck going forward.

Christine said...

Nice drink. Most people here wouldn't let soneonevuse tgeir washroom like that

My name is Erika. said...

Nice journal pages Iris. And I love beans too. I lightly fry mine with a bit of garlic. Just a bit so it doesn't overpower the beans. Yum. More coming in my garden now too. Happy new month, and Happy T day. hugs-Erika

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Tom!

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, I was pretty unsure, too... She was old enough to "install" something there...

Iris Flavia said...

Oh, Erika, we had neighbors who used so much garlic I had to leave the balcony! Ever since.... no to that.
Happy new moth and thank you! Hugs

RedPat said...

It was a good week, Iris.

Iris Flavia said...

Sometimes that is a nice change, RedPat!

Dear friend Iris, 🧡 your drawings always make me smile 😃 😊 I love ❤️ your artistic talent. Henry looks ready to go. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead. Warm hugs 🫂 🤗 and much love.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, dear friend Linda 🥰 Warm hugs back, much love!

Lisca said...

Congratulations! I'm so glad you have a contract again. Well done!
I smiled you getting lost. I live in a village. They are re-surfacing the streets and certain streets are closed. The I turned into another street and that ended up being closed too. In the end I drove round small village streets (some very narrow) and got totally lost! In my own village! I'm here typing this, so obviously I eventually got home, but it was frustrating.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca

I have a left-right form of dyslexia so I'm always getting lost. Turn right!, You're other right! 🤣Congrats on your contract.

DVArtist said...

Yum on the beans. I'm canning 10lbs of them tomorrow. LOL I'm with Cathy. Left right dyslexia. You tell me to turn right or left and I'm going the opposite way. Your drawings are so good. I enjoy seeing them every time,.

Jeanie said...

Since I broke my right arm and had to work with left for over six months I have "the other right", too 🤣. Thank you, yes, can´t wait to start work for real!

Iris Flavia said...

Yepp, that I have too ... the other right! Thank you, I try to get better with sketching!

Congratulations on your contract. So happy for you. I love beans, too. I can't count the number of times I've gotten lost. So great we now have GPS in new cars.

Your iced coffee sounds wonderful. Thanks for sharing the good news, your fun calendar, and your iced coffee for T this Tuesday, dear Iris.
