T STands For STep Backwards

(Do you spot Henry? Follow the hearts... this shot was spontanous, not planned, but, hey, cool, huh?)
Ingo gave me coffee in this.
Let us step backwards joining Elizabeth´s T-Day?
Now is this boring...


I spare you the steps but Henry ๐Ÿฆ is right here again, on THIS cup!


Other... crazy times, I keep it short...
 

 Monday: Siemens was a (great) kindy, this is tough. I need a break...


Tuesday: Teamleader Denmark does not want to hear the "S-Word" anymore, LOL!
Oh, it´s all chaos and we march through.
Siemens ... I thank you guys - I learned a lot I can use now.


Wednesday: We´re at it, but you cannot catch up on years in weeks.



Thursday: We all work together. With so much support I can do sport again, a bit.


Friday: It was a real tough day.
But with so much help we all managed... a bit. We worked together. How wonderful is this!!!

 
Weekend: Die Maus: the watering can broke and the Elephant took the ... I don´t even know the German word... "mouth" of it to help out. All good, kinda fitting to my life right now!
And... Hawaii.....
 


... I WANT. 
A toast is OK, too... 
OK?


Nonono... stop!!! Is he sharping his knife?!!!


 He chopped my head off!!! Can you believe this (and I still talk, huhhh, Pineapple from hell!)


What is next, WHAT?!!!!



I am reborn. 
And eaten up in near to no time!!
 
Henry ๐Ÿฆ
 

 
You were on both cuppas, remember?!
Oh, Babies, they need to join everything!

Work-wise... teamleader Frankfurt tries to stay funny.
A challenge. ๐ŸŒป๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›
I never sweared at a teamleader - but now I did!!! BIG. We laughed. Alter, ey.
He played games!!
I gave him my PC. Remote, right.
 
He planned a meeting this way, I said, "hey, no greeting?!"
We´re all... in stress.
 
He wrote "kind FUCK#NG regards"  - with MY account!! And the whole word.

No idea how he stays this positive and funny.
He took it off of course - and no, I don´t translate, at Alstom the official language thankfully is not French (headquarter is Paris) but English, yet some try German and switch, it´s a mix.
We work with Spain and ... oh, I don´t know, the funniest names and sometimes I have no idea how to pronounce them yet I am told to contact them via phone, huhhhh...
 
Example: In Madeley/Perth I met the manager of our park Xavier, from France. easy, Xavier.
In Spanish though it sounds like Shavi.
Insert a "Mimimi" for thinking! As if it all was not complicated enough already!
 
Alter, ey! Ingo will have to hear some swearing from my side - everybody there does!!
I never was in a place where people sweared ... and then laughed so much!
I want to stay with them! 
Kind regards, dear you... ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ˜

Hi Kathy,
I just had my share, work-wise, again.
This teamleader cracks me up. (just a short brekkie-break! I´ll see to you all later!)

River said...

Now I want toasted cheese with pineapple too. Maybe on the weekend after I do shopping.
The part on the end of the spout on a watering can is called a "Rose" but don't aske me why, I have no idea.
I'm glad you are still having fun while you work, it helps the difficult times to pass easier.

Nancy Chan said...

I have never tried pineapple with toast. It looks so yummy. I love to use pineapple in my cooking. Sounds like your work is challenging but fun too.

Iris Flavia said...

River, a Rose, awwww, "cute", thank you (still no idea what you that in German, Kopf?!).
Well, work stays so-so! Yet still fun enough to want it!

Nancy, it is yummy, hmmmm... Work, oh, work ;-)

Does that mug change as it heats up? It is pretty cool if it does. And your Hawaiian sandwich looks yummy. Fresh pineapple. Yummy. I like how wrote about the pineapple. And I like how you even put it in your journal. Fun. And hope work is going well for you. It sounds like you work with quite the crowd. Happy T day Iris. hugs-Erika

Mae Travels said...

Your sketch of boots is great!

Jackie McGuinness said...

We have Christmas mugs that change as they heat up, always fun.
I like pineapple with meatballs, strange, it is a recipe from the 70s.
We always swore a lot at meetings. I remember being in a meeting with a VP and the fire alarm went off. He said, no one is leaving until the effing flames are around our ankles!

Divers and Sundry said...

Cool mug :) That toast looks tasty. It'd definitely make a full meal. Happy T Tuesday

Linda Kunsman said...

Bill said...

I love pineapple but never had it with anything else. Our daughter likes pineapple on her pizza.

CJ Kennedy said...

Sounds like a good week. Very cool coffee cup! I worked for a company where I was the only woman. I swore a lot! They treated me like I was one of the fellas though my voice was higher and I wore skirts. ๐Ÿ˜ธ

Iris Flavia said...

CJ - I am with you!!! With all!
Thank you, I don´t feel that lost no more!

RedPat said...

That toast sounds and looks wonderful!
Glad that you are laughing at work.

Carola Bartz said...

I loved to eat Toast Hawai'i in Germany. Of course it's non-existent in Hawai'i, but the pineapple there is to die for. On the Big Island they also grow white pineapple which cannot be shipped since it doesn't keep at all. We had it when we were staying on an organic farm there and the landlady brought us fresh white pineapple every day. It was pure heaven.

Jeanie said...

I've never had Tost Hawaiibut oh, how I love the pineapple. We just finished off a big one last night and I'll buy another at the store today. One of my favorites!

Kate Yetter said...

Such a neat cup. I would love to get one that activates with heat, I just need to find the right picture.
Your toast Hawaii looks delicious. Such a fun way to use pineapple.
Your journaling looks great and I am amazed that you find the time to make art despite your busy schedule.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate

Empire of the Cat said...

lol you have invented a toast version of Hawaiian pizza! Love your shoes drawing, and your journal generally. I worked at a place where everyone swore one time, it was quite a shock to the system after working at lots of places where no one did lol. Happy T Day! Elle/EOTC xx

Amypie71 said...

Sometimes it's good to laugh and takes a huge load of us when stressed, can't say I like pineapple cooked though, B likes it on pizza

DVArtist said...

I want that Hawaiian toast. OMG! it looks so good. Great journal of what you are doing. I really enjoyed this post. Have a nice day.

Sharon Madson said...

Flying by to say Happy T Day!

Lisca said...

I love your image changing mug. Cool.
And I also love toast Hawaii. (My Mums favorite) I haven’t made it in a long while.
Seems you are having fun in your new job. And learning to swear as well…
Happy belated T-Day,,
Hugs,
Lisca
