Not my entry to Elizabeth´s T as I haven´t tried it yet,....
.... at work I went for this:
Quite sweet it was!
So this was a healthy welcome:
That way you can also have this for a change:
And, if you like, my week in sketches:
Monday: Day off and oh-so tired!
Tuesday: Denmark for a change - teamleader M found very clear words. Yet... no reaction - what´s with some people?!
Others... super nice, ahhhhh, so good for a change!
Wednesday: 10+ hours of work and again, writing down less.... I have to share my monitor most of the time.
That is stress! Or help? Or... Dunno? "The woman" shares?
Sport as yippee-part.
Thursday: What?! Thursday again?
Weather rather... too cold, 10+ hours and mind you.
Twice I used the keyboard from my ALSTOM PC and wondered why nothing ends up at my ESE-PC, LOL!
Glad at least the ESE-mouse is smaller than ALSTOM´s, I realize this quickly.
Can you remember the days you had one PC and one monitor?
Now 2 work PCs with 4 monitors, one private with two plus a private laptop.
And two smartphones.
And that´s just me.
I bet in 5 years´ time we´re back to but ONE device and wonder about the complicated craziness of today!
Dead time > great new book, later the 30-minutes meeting took nearly 2 hours - with LOADS of laughing. After a hard day´s work this is necessary, I guess, right?
Sport, a bit.
Friday: Meeting with N from 7:30 till 12-something, quick break then on we went. J joined.
We are WALL-E.... the last one(s) clean up.
After 8 hours N said: "Enough!!! Happy weekend, we deserve that!"
I fail to understand so many things, how... at VW it was the same.
Us small people clean up and the others get the big money.
Thankfully I am not allowed to give you details.
Weekend:
A short kiss of summer - a kiss too big even - I am too small to put up the sun-brolly and had to go inside!
Next life I´ll be Hercules, I tell ya!
Sunday after Die Maus a very sweet fairy tale. To never ever growing up!
Henry 🦁
To a new one, and a happy T-Day!
I Love your week in sketches
ReplyDeletewe have a diet dr pepper in the frig-leftover from our friends visit.
yum love fries for a treat and love your healthy plate of veggies too-yikes we hit 100 degrees f today too hot for me haha Happy T Iris hugs from the lake
Those fries are from "Holland" - very, very yummy. Sadly always way too much, even the smallest portion. The veggies sit in the fridge, ready to go ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy T-Day and hugs back to your wonderful lake - here it´s way too cold again...
I would love to send you some of this heat-it is really a bit much its almost 11 pm here and it is 85 f degrees
ReplyDeleteBuy some stickers in different colours, maybe stars? and put one coloutr on the mouse keyboard and monitor that belong together, then another colour on the mouse and keyboard that belong together and maybe not get them mixed up anymore.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had any fries in such a long time.
I stand by my front door sometimes and catch a little bit of sun on my face, then the clouds roll across again.
Kathy, my weather, awwww, I would feel cozy!
ReplyDelete____
River, uh, that would be even more confusing, LOL!
Mostly I only have the ALSTOM PC on, so, all good.
It was just so funny cause I automatically used the comphy "real" keyboard and... hm? Nothing? Oh!
We have an... air fryer and I learned in Australia you have vinegar with fries, hmmmm, we occasionally make that at home.
Would be about time again, salt and vinegar and a bit of ketchup!
And some hot weather...
...Iris, I hope that you always find happiness in your work!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom, that would be perfect! :-)
ReplyDeleteCough syrup, LOL. More like cherry, to my tastebuds ;-)
ReplyDeleteHenry says thank you!
Your sketches are just delightful. You express so mch.
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thank you, it´s fun to do :-)
ReplyDeleteLike Kathy i could send you some heat iris... Over 100F for weeks on end... uuughhh... We could use some rain too.. Your fries look delish! Always lovin' your sketchbook... Happy happy T day! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteYour drawings are getting so much better in your journal Iris. Every week I see that. Isn't it fun? I doodle in mine-the rule for me is quick drawings. Some days they are good and some days they are not. Have a great T day. Hope it's not too busy. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeletedeb, please do send! I´m Aussie-proofed and love the heat :-)
ReplyDeleteThe fries are Holland-style, btw! Yummy hugs!
____
Erika, thank you! Yes, that´s my rule, too, I have no patience, quick it has to be. And if not good, well, I use a pen, what´s sketched is sketched! ;-) Hugs to you
That seems to have been a very hard week with so many work hours every day. I wonder whether people work actually more when they work from home. I see that with my husband - the past two + years he has worked way more hours than when he actually goes to the site to work. He goes back to in-person work next week and we both see it with mixed feelings.
ReplyDeleteThe positive: Before I had 30 minutes to, 45 minutes back to drive, now it´s seven steps.
ReplyDeleteSo, I don´t mind to work longer and come a time with less stress I can work less :-)
I am happy with this situation - good luck to your Hubby!
Your journal is looking good. Henry looks so exhausted, he needs an energy drink to boost up his system. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. Not only Henry needs one... I´d be in as well...
ReplyDeleteEven with Monday off you worked a lot of hours. Love your sketches.
ReplyDeleteI sat out and read on the deck on Sunday - it was wonderful.
The tram should be running since last December... Crazy.
ReplyDeleteYay for reading in the sun!!!
I have one monitor, one keyboard, one mouse. I don't think I could manage more than one monitor. There's a saying, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. 😺Wishing you some warmer weather. Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteI could not do with one monitor! How do you "monitor" your work then?
ReplyDeleteI saw a huuuuuge, cool, expensive monitor where you can have 3-4 programs side by side. Very cool! One day that will be normal, I hope 😍
Your weekly sketches always make me want to take up a daily journal. I especially love that girl pirate from the can. It looks fabulous! And I agree, fries are perfect for on the run, or really any time at all! Yum!
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
I can go for a Dr. Pepper right about now.
ReplyDeleteI've been without electricity since about 6:30 pm yesterday. Never so glad to get my AC and internet back.
ReplyDeleteI think your steampunk lady on that can is out of this world. LOVE IT. I also am in awe of your calendar drawings. They are SO good and you explain anything I don't understand. Thanks for sharing that German beer and steampunk drawing, along with your daily sketches with us for T this Tuesday, Iris.
Yes I do remember the days of a pc and screen, I have been using a laptop for a number of years, much easier too
ReplyDeleteSon has a couple of computers, phones, and several monitors set up around his work station. I know some are linked to camera surveillance, but I often wonder how he remembers which thing goes with what where. In my day, we just worked with a typewriter!
ReplyDeleteKate, yes, please join in the journal-fun! I would love to learn from you :-)
ReplyDeleteTo fries, too!
____
William, I have left one in the fridge, too.
____
Elizabeth, it´s unbelievable how often they leave you without electricity & Co!
Oh, my life is actually easy - I have two railway-projects, a tram in Frankfurt, Germany, and a railway in Denmark, nothing too fancy :-)
____
Amy, I could not work with but one laptop! I need at least two monitors. One with the programs to check, the other to document what I do and best is to have a third for e-mail, teams etc.
____
Margaret, mostly it´s easy and comphy with all the monitors - it´s just the keyboards that confuse me ;-)
Oh, yes, I started with a typewriter, too - and a drawing machine.
I love your version of the beer can art! And I always enjoy your daily journal with its drawings. It's just happy!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeanie, yes, summer is always a happy time, plus a great job and wonderful colleagues!
ReplyDeleteI love your veggie plate! You know how much I love your drawings- it certainly looks as though you lead a busy life so I was pleased to see you had time to read on your balcony. I am guessing that by now you are getting the warmer temperatures we are getting in the UK! Belated Happy T Day, Chrisx
