Some Poor Trainee - A Great Company
Yesterday morning I hopped on my pushbike and drove to work. Cause in the arvo we had our quarterly meet-up in Wenden, some 11 km one way.
At the narrow path a woman was walking her huge dog, she saw my light on the building, stopped, took her dog close to her and smiled at me.
I shouted "thanks very much!", smiling back and thought, wee, this is gonna be a great day!
Got off the bike and... no bike lock!
So. I drove home, got the lock and was 10 minutes late, d'oh!
Later colleagues laughed and said, why didn´t you bring it up in the lift?!
Yah, why didn´t I?!
Iris K then said, look, it´s raining. How about I take you with the car?
So, later when the rain had stopped I brought the bike home - into the cellar for good, living room is much spacier again - and, tadaaa, she picked me up and I got the pleasure of being chauffeured.
3 collegues went by push-bike, were late and said, weee, that was tough, so windy!
When we got into the seminar-room everybody had, see pic above on his table.
At first I thought, oh, my, how nice, but did a poor trainee have to write that 40+ times?!
What a relief, but takes away the charming character, a bit, too, no?
Wee. Week done.
Was a tough one.
Talked to H and we decided in which direction I build up knowledge from Monday on. He reassured me boss will keep me, some peeps are in the office "for training" aka not earning money for the company for 12 months+ even!
He´ll organize a mini-project for me to train testing, guess I really got a wonderful company/boss.
The more I was astonished we need "trusted third parties" and stuff. I don´t!
Iris K said loudly, I go to the boss, ask if he has a minute, he usually has, and so far I always came out alive, too - she could be my twin, huh?
Off to the city, still not knowing what to have for lunch in the land of no pies.

The little messages were a lovely thought Iris, even if they weren't hand written ☺Between your cycling and walking you're getting lots of excercise, I'm guessing the weather is warming up is that right?
Work been also hard for me...I sure we both deserve a weekend to relax and joy.
Coffee is on
Oh, Grace it was the most stormy day, it was crazy. Spring takes a break for sure...
I make a wrong picture, I should exercise much more!
Yepp, Dora, let´s take a well earned break :-)
Handwritten messages are nice Iris...
Well, they were industrially made, but still cute, huh.
