T STands For Being Back In Time

 

My ticket to Elizabeth´s T, a coffee (yes, me!!!) we had with our Monday-host, Sami, in Perth CBD!

Ahhh, I miss them all, temps included, it is frickin´ cold here!

Anyhows, the journal, if you like:

 

Monday: It is crazy - I went back to German time just like that.

Usually I took to Aussie-time at once (took me over a week this holiday) and back to German for ages.

Luckily I did not delete all LinkedIn-mails, because.... hups...

 

 

I so had to laugh that I "genießt in vollen Zügen".

If you speak a little German this does not mean I enjoyed my holiday in "packed trains" but "fully".

We are a Daughter of German Railway and also we went with the Indian Pacific....

 

Then mC called to ask how it was (he got a card, too, as the following - it was the first time, really, that I wrote postcards to colleagues!), then fK, fC ... Sadly atm I have no project, though!

So it was nice to chat a bit! And then tiredness hit BAD.

 

Tuesday: Whilst yesterday I had half a cold sausage forced in at 08 p.m. I got soooo hungry at 05:30 a.m. Think it will take a while again to adjust.

Called doc with a question for my Friday-app. "Friday? We´re on holiday! Came in spontaneous." Yeah, why bother informing the patient???

Am signed in tomorrow.

Got taxes back!!!

Other just chats with J, fC and fK. 

fK said I should enjoy the payed time out as it´s not my fault the projects are on hold.

Did bank stuff. What do you do when you are really old? I had difficulties understanding their changes - and I´m in IT!

 

Wednesday: Teamlead fC called me to ask how the holiday was and that she maybe has a lille work for me - she´ll call me then!

Meanwhile fK and I chatted on and off.

One of the jobs was not so clear, started and wanted fC to have a look if I´m on the right way, till then I did the other - lecturing - and I found many errors. Luckily I did not correct but made notes.

The new colleague mL called me and was happy about my help, yippeee.

I got tired again, but despite all the other evenings when I hardly could eat I was able to make myself a fresh, quarter pan-pizza, another yippee!

 

 

Thursday: Grandad (work-Lenovo) had another fit, but luckily cutting him off for a while helped, phew! No way I walk to the company (still jetlag).

Bea (check-out woman): "Can´t believe you´re back, how quick four weeks´d passed!!".

"Six. It was six weeks ;-)."

Worked too fast, mini-project done.

 

Friday: Luckily I didn´t take it as easy as fK advised but mainly was at my work-PC. Teamlead called me spontaneous into a running meeting!

Luck, huh. 

Then, luck #2 struck: Wanted to do some "bank-stuff" with my energy provider.

Waited in line, the assistant was a woman - bet she´d just taken it in.

In came her male colleague and asked me over and LOOKED and CHECKED and saw there is something wrong, phew!!!!

Luck #3: Was walking through a not so safe area and thought, what´s the noise behind my back? Backpack opened itself, I realized in time!!! My purse was right there!

Luck #4: After a dumb woman at the bank (you can only do it by phone) I found a nice man who happily helped me. I transferred some money to the plus on our account and then let´s see if we got hacked...

 

Weekend: Saturday: Hit Ingo bad. Was wondering how he was able to drive every day to Salzgitter and back and work.

He was but FUNCTIONING. 

Did the grocery by myself whilst he recovered.

Ack, we are not young anymore!

Sunday: Served eggs for brunch, watched Die Maus and Ingo recovered. Did the journal. Was so tired myself!

Art-wise:

See here, if you like.

That´s from me today.

Happy T-Day, dear folks!

And for in case blogger bugs you again... I always safe my text and try again. Mostly blogger is so "generous"  to publish on second or third try.... sometimes another browser (like chrome or such) works.
