Ingo served me a CRaft Beer BraunSchweig, hmmmmm.
With this I join Elizabeth´s T.
The journal:
Reading on the balcony.
Tuesday: Duuuuuhhhhh. My customer´d invited me to the Monday-meeting. On the ALSTOM-laptop. That is still in Vienna. Glad I asked!
And LOL, terminology... When I worked for ALSTOM Salzgitter I got the documentation from Spain and we had an external translator. They gave me "Führerhaus". I said no. "Der Führer" is dead! I don´t want Hit#er! My teamleader agreed, I advised it is "Fahrerhaus".
Later I learned... In Germany it is "Führerhaus"! Tram Frankfurt has "Fahrerhaus"
Austria.. "Fahrerhaus" 🤣 Well, Hit#er after all was Austrian... it was again a woman who said no to the Führer...
Wednesday: FB informed the city of Braunschweig will have a test alarm tomorrow at 11:00 a.m.
Dunno... Any other day...
But then I have to add again: Our dear host commented here: "We refer to today as Patriot Day. The day we came together as a nation." I felt much better about the test!
Phew, both customers offered the casual "du" today, makes life so much easier.
And Ingo gave me both monitors!!!
A mini-yippeeee... ESE-laptop and right monitor were the same. I managed to solve the problem myself! No IT needed. Now I am set up with three monitors again. Bliss.
Thursday: teamlead fE wants to bring me the ALSTOM-laptop home. Weeeee... clean up the chaos! 11:00 a.m. ... nothing. I checked my smartphone that wakes me with loud sound every working day... silent. Only two text-warnings - made me find out what´s wrong! Sound is not sound! My dumbphone... nothing at all! Dumbphone get more popular again... bad alarm-job!
Friday: It was a lille drama to get ALSTOM-PC get to run, password/e-mail-wise, but with the customer´s help I got it done.
Windows 11. GAAAHHHH. Mr. google helped me to sort the 3 monitors but. What.Is.That???
It is naked! No Word, Outlook, teams - or I am like really dumb? I´ll find out Monday.
Background-picture not the ALSTOM-logo, but a fancy blue something.
I needed to google how to shut Windows 11 down.
Are you into Windows 11?
Weekend: Saturday: At Christine´s blog I found this quote I´d like to pass on, too:
"Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn." ~Benjamin Franklin~
Went for a lille walk whilst Ingo gave me my workspace back, rain set in, awwww ... and then...
Ingo removed the test-PC and.... I was able to put my place back, ready for Monday:
I need my dumbphone to identify for customer´s SharePoint...
And I need to bring my office chair back, too, carry it back and forth from private to work-PCs.
Sunday: Slept in, was soooo good.
Ingo made potato pancakes on the balcony.
Met the neighbor I know through our W, we talked over an hour. On most political issues we agreed, one not. I said, "at least we can talk about it." He hit the rubbish bin in joy just yet again, LOL - poor bin, that, he´d hit it a couple of times....
He´s in early retirement and thought I´m 40, LOL. I´m 53... Calculating is rather not his thing as - he is very much interested in history - we also talked about the 70´s...
Felt cold and tired all day and slept in a sweater... 40. Hahahaha.... Gosh, that would make Ingo 20 years older than me.
Very interesting: Watched Bull. In English you really say "driving a train", or piloting, not "leading a train".
A "Führer" is someone who leads, a "Fahrer" who drives.
Munchy:
Of course not... One of the Stollen was upside-down!
.. by Ingo.
Henry 🦁 ... you saw in first pic.

I enjoyed your Agenda drawings.
Dear friend Iris, I absolutely love your sketches! You have tremendous talent and I so enjoy seeing what you have drawn! I love the theme, the colours...everything!
Thank you so much for sharing. Sending you warm hugs and much love!
Thank you.
Dear friend Linda, thank you, I don´t think I have much talent - or patience! But I´m working on both! Warm hugs and much love to you, have a great day!
I cannot understand why German language is so difficult. But the hardest language to master is Mandarin. Just one stroke missing in a character changes the whole meaning of the word.
Lovely colourful sketches, reading on the porch with an umbrella! We don't have Stollen in the shops yet, but we do have Christmas cake and Christmas puddings. My mum loved Stollen, but not me, I like the Italian Panettone.
Mandarin sounds dangerous then!
Thank you - reading time outside is done now, I guess. 16C is too cold for me... The stollen pic is, I think, already 3 weeks old! Gets earlier every year! Yes, the Panettone is not too sweet.
Loving the craft beer - cheers 😊. It's the same here, there is a surprisingly large amount of Christmas stuff in our shops too - go figure! Happy T Day ❤️. Hugs, Jo x
I love Stollen, especially when it has almond paste in the middle. I usually buy it around Christmas, but will eat it any time of year (if I could get it).
I enjoyed 'Thunder', but my cat Ronnie didn't. He kept pawing at the keyboard.
Good that you got all set up for work. Let the fun begin!
And as always I enjoy your diary drawings.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
It´s really a very yummy beer 🍺. What do kids think about Christmas stuff on so early, I wonder. Anyways, happy T-Day hugs x
I even had a hard time with Ingo´s potato-pancakes as they remind me of Christmas Market! Say sorry to Ronnie... LOL Happy T-Day
...Iris, I would have a hard waiting!
It sounds like a good week overall. I'm terrible at figuring out ages now, too. People either tend to look much younger or older than they really are! Love your work set-up.
Aw, well, Tom, it was good to read on the balcony, too...
I think we´re at an age where it just doesn´t matter much anymore, like "in the middle"?
Yes, so good to have my workspace back! Though it causes the customer some confusion, LOL.
Lets Find You A Henry For That Workspace Around Your Desk
Stay Fancy ,
Cheers
I always enjoy your sketches in your diary, Iris.
We watch Bull every evening. He never loses!
As always, your calendar sketches make me smile. That is some setup with all those monitors and wires. So glad that works for you. I would be a wreck not knowing what to focus on and when.
Your Crabb craft beer is perfect for T this Tuesday, dear Iris. Thanks for always joining in.
Good idea, I need to bring Limpy back!!!! Thank you!!! Ha, Cheers!
Thank you, RedPat and yupp, Bull is right on, Season 5, #2 and it´s early evening!
Thank you, oh, you get used to the setup - just the customer does not! 🤣
Yes, that beer is the yummiest! Thank you for hosting!
beer looks good! glad you liked the quote it's great.
I learn hands on, I like to watch someone else do it then try it myself. Beer; I only like the old light beer or pale ale on hot days in Summer. Mashed potato; hope you add grated cheese to it.
The quote is so darn true, thank you for sharing it! And yupp, beer is yummy!
It is a pale ale indeed, you´d love it, I guess. Huhhhh, dangerous suggestion with the cheese! YUM. No, didn´t... yet!
A friend used to send us big metal boxes filled with Christmas sweets, and the stollen was always a treat!
But not in September? Where is the Christmas-fun?
Das Bier sieht sehr lecker aus und ich mag das Glas! Interessante Form.
Bisher habe ich noch kein Weihnachtszeug in den Läden gesehen, aber ich habe auch nicht besonders darauf geachtet. Dafür aber jede Menge Halloween und Thanksgiving Zeug.
I know very little German, but do know that fuhrer means guide. In Mozart's The Magic Flute, the three ladies tell the heroes that three wise boys will be their guides on a quest, and it's just shocking to hear the word fuhrer pronounced in such sweet manner, with a delightful music.
Oh, and we went to Salzburg and Austria on our last holiday. We loved it.
With three monitors, you sound like a tech centre. :)
It is so comphy!
Komisch. Halloween habe ich noch nichts gesehen (habe aber auch nicht drauf geachtet!). Das Bier ist superlecker.
In German that word "Führer" has history-related a very bad reputation...
I was in Vienna in my study-times, late 1990´s. Very nice.
Aha! Had to go back to find Henry.
Those monitors! And 2 laptops? Wow...
I have Windows 11 but now I have to buy Microsoft Office again because me version is so old. I need to do it soon, because in October my old Windows, on my old, old laptop will no longer be supported. I have had that laptop since 2013, can you imagine? It is soooo slow and clunky, but I hate the idea of moving all those files. Gives me cold chills.
90°f here tomorrow, but 50s at night, thank goodness.
Hehe, sorry about Henry ;-) But isn´t he so cute? One laptop ALSTOM, one ESE, the monitors are on ALSTOM. My private laptop from 2015 or 2017, bought it in Joondalup/Perth cause cheaper. Yah, dumb. Has your keyboard! But that I only use on holiday, other I have a tower-PC with external drives, so I don´t have to move data, phew!
Ohhh, lucky you, 32C!!! (I always have to look that up). 53F right now here (05:17 a.m.).
