You knocked

 
Mural taken in Fremantle/Freo in 2019.
 
It so represents the days I´m going through, and Ingo with me...
 

Am I  the bunny? It is the "time"  (cool mural, huh?).
All eyes on me. I´m an introvert.

I...


I´m a nervous wreck.
Ingo says I have... well let me tell you about yesterday, if you like.
 
Sunday early morno ... I sleep with ear-protection, but I hear everything none-the less, so when Ingo had to go and came back he saw I am half awake and said....

"Du hast geklopft".
Me, still half-asleep, "no, I did not knock..." (why would I do that?! And where??)

Ingo repeated his words louder ..

"Du hast nen JOB!!!!" 

Sounded alike with the ear-protection and not having signed .... I still don´t believe it.

Later I said... to Ingo´s ears...
 
"Ich schalte jetzt die Hose ein".

He repeated in disbelief, "You  turn the trousers on ?!" 

WHAT?! I don´t have such fancy stuff, I´m not Marty McFly! 
In real I said ...

"I now turn on the BOSE", meaning I hear nothing, doing the dishes and making Ingo´s food for work.

BOSE - Hose..... Knock, if you want to talk to me! 🤣🤣🤣

This mural just so fits!

Oh, and, in case you have seen the lille movie about my home-town, I counted:
 
 
Yupp, you heard "Braunschweig" more often than " Heinrich".
Yet, he´s not mad at me...
Henry 🦁

Why would a big player stop interviewing people and simply choose me.
He said two weeks and it was two days and what if I fail...
I feel like throwing up, that´s how much I want the job and am afraid at the same time.
 
And, dearest host.... if I get the job you´ll laugh about for whom I´ll work! Along with your Hubby, you´ll likely laugh...

And in case you read along, Bill... I woke up hungry, the ghosts indeed must´ve taken the soup away 😂

Don't tell me you will be working for Siemens? LOL
Just relax, you will be fine Iris.
Karina also got a job, started in September, with a Swiss company, who collect CO2 from the atmosphere and inject it into rocks (hope that is it), has projects in Norway and Iceland, so it involves a little travel once in a while.

Great mural, I've never seen it, is it at the Federal Hotel?
Thanks for participating in Monday Murals.

Sami, yes, if all goes well... (I´ll be an external, though) - May I ask Jose in case of trouble - as far as I understood it´s about... railway. :-)

Black Knight said...

The Salvator Dalì mural is very beautiful and, I think, it also contains a couple of esoteric images.
Congrats on your new job.

A delightful mural! And now, breathe deeply. Center yourself. Get everything ready. I am so excited for you!

Nice mural, Iris. It's too bad the ghosts felt like taking your soup, I hate waking up hungry. :) Good luck tomorrow's signing.

William Kendall said...

A very different mural.

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

LOVE the Dali mural. He is a favorite of mine. HE was certainly not an introvert. He made a habit of being an extrovert. Nice mural and I hope you get the job, Iris.

River said...

it is tomorrow here now, yesterday I was asleep most of the day, so I hope you have the job signed now. I know you will do well.

Iris Flavia said...

dee Nambiar, yes, cool mural and thank you ! II hope all the luck works!

William, it sure is.

Elizabeth, maybe Dali gives me a bit of his strength, thank you, still over 4 hours to go.

____

River, the meeting will be at 11:00 only, so... waiting.... (06:30 now)

DVArtist said...

No need to worry. You will be fine at your new job.

Amypie71 said...

I'm confused, I thought you got the job in a previous post?

Sami said...

Yes of course, email me on my gmail (same as hotmail, just swap to gmail) as I check those daily and I'll ask Jose.

Iris Flavia said...

Nicole, I hope so!

Amy, hups, only read your comment now, yes, got the job, but did not meet the customer yet!

____

Sami, thank you, now that would surprise my customer!! LOL!
"Hey, something is wrong in this report, but my friend from Perth - you remember J - he corrected this."
I bet I would get a pressie to share with you!
