Get Your ID

Those who know me in person know I get lost easily, hence I had to ask at Siemens where to get my ID. The men (yes, plural!) explained and it was odd.
 
I had to go into a "garage", kinda.
 
And I found these murals!
Likely the man shown here uses a phone build by... Ingo!!! By Funktel (English link )!! 
 
I stared in disbelief - what are the chances?!
funktel builds high-professional phones. 
 
"funktel GmbH is a leading manufacturer of professional security and communications solutions based on DECT and TETRA radio frequencies for industry, public utilities and authorities."
 
I stood there, lost but luckily a man came out of his .. "factory-place"  that very moment and I asked him for the way. 
He said. "uhhh, sorry, no ide... oh! Look! Right behind you!".
 
Fool me stood in front of the door to the office, hidden in such a hall!
We both laughed and now he knows where to go in case of trouble with his ID-card - win-win! 
 

 Least I expected in a plant at Siemens was murals! (No idea if I was allowed to take pics, so I did a quick and hence sadly rather bad job - J, please don´t tell them I did take pics!!)
 
Here you see the projects right in front of "the door step":
 
 
Siemens Braunschweig "certainly" has projects in Denmark, Egypt and who knows where in the world (I could turn on my Siemens PC and look it up, but we are not allowed to do that on Sundays, which is when I write to you right now).
 
So far I´m involved in Denmark, Egypt and .. Ireland?
 
It´s SO BITTER-SWEET when people at Siemens say, "I´ll be in Egypt tomorrow", and you know it´s just via MS Teams. 
But..
 
 
Each one has it´s own color - which one is yours?
I think I´m yellow...
On the way out.
Oh, I so hope I manage. 
 
@J... were there murals back in the day, I wonder.
They also have a lille lake with a fountain, a gym. A shop...Certainly thanks to Corinna all closed right now... 
 
And the weird thing at Siemens is... you have no ground floor!
Am I glad my Siemens teamleader (I´m again but an external) explained we´re on second floor and that´s what they call 4th floor!
So I work in 4/37 and when I got my monitors to take home at first I was puzzled in the lift and then.. ahhh, yes, 1, click1!

 I´ll try my best handling AA.
14 days to go and I have help.
 
Today I´m also Nicholas
I´ll walk up to 4th floor to deliver this 🤶


W loves Stollen and since it all was so hectical I had no time for him...
I hope this makes up a bit for him...

River said...

My colour is the red one, I have ideas all the time, I just don't do much with them.
I remember Stollen, my mum used to buy it every year at Christmas when I was little, I don't remember if I liked it, but probably did.

What a surprise find at Siemens! I don't think they had murals back in the 80's.
We get Stolen here at Aldi.
Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Iris.

Iris Flavia said...

What???? Sami!!! Stolen means you got robbed - you gave me a heart attack!
Stollen, two times the "l"!!!
Aldi can be a bad place - the axe-murderer did his job just around the corner here!
Stollen, please enjoy that! :-)
You have me laughing - aren´t languages the funniest.

So glad you got Stollen! W got one, too :-)

Nice to see murals where you work, even if it is unexpected.

Black Knight said...

Finding murals is always a nice surprise.
I see you work with people of other countries. It also happened to me and I had the opportunity to travel all around Europe and not only.

Intriguing and interesting day!

CJ Kennedy said...

Happy St. Nicholas Day! You're so sweet to take the stollen to W.

My name is Erika. said...

What are the chances about the phone in the mural? That was a fun find. And Stollen is delicious. I try to make a loaf myself most years since I can't really buy it here. Happy new week Iris. Hugs-Erika

The murals were a great find! And W will be so pleased for you that you have a new job.

Iris Flavia said...

Surprises are always fun :-)

gigi-hawaii said...

Those murals brighten up the bare walls. Nice!

River said...

As long as we are correcting spelling..."loose" with two "o's" means baggy like "my pants are too loose", when you lose something and can't find it that has only one "o".

Jeanie said...

I can't believe you discovered murals in your work place! That's really fun. And a plus, with the phone!

Iris Flavia said...

River, yes, there is many a lose spot!

Jeanie. yes, the phone was the bummer!
