This is my last entry from Maggi-Fest (which of course is called Magni-Fest referring to quarter Magni).

 

 

Seems like he/she never learns... See here again:

 

 

This is for Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals. 

 Henry 🦁 

 

 Today we drive back to Braunschweig, our mini-holiday in Wilhelmshaven is over...

FFO, Yum And Smile

 

With this 70´s beauty I would join Nicole´s FFO,but sadly see here and wish them all the best.....

I think these glasses are back these days? Fur not so much, though... reckon that´s plastic?

And with this yum, easy and quick, ...

... I join Gilenna´s Lunch Break.

To join Annie´s Smiles how about this?

And some funnies. I actually am not sure if to laugh or cry....

From dear FB again (written in first person - this is from FB, not me!):

While shopping earlier today,I picked up some chicken legs.

Just before the young lady rang them up, I asked if she knew whether they were front or back legs.

She paused for a moment, read everything she could on the package and not finding the answer said; `I don't know. Let me go ask my manager`. 

She came back a few minutes later, looked at me and said, 'NOT FUNNY!!' I said, 'I'm sorry but I thought it was.'.

The guy behind me laughing hysterically blurted out.....'NOT FUNNY, IT WAS HILARIOUS' . Have a great week,😄
Join our group National Geographic Nature"

I mean, really???? And fish fingers grow on trees?

I had more funnies, but  I am now with Ingo in Wilhelmshaven, bare with ,me....

Open End

Looks like a shi#ty day, huh.

Maybe we go to Wilhelmshaven today.

Maybe not.

 

It is Ingo´s Birthday.

We didn´t talk since Sunday.

 

I´ll pack for in case.

 

It is nobody´s fault.

 

I think with time things can go wrong.

He works too much. Goes to bed early ... ummm... sofa.... we have no life no more. I am sick of it.

I do work too much, too, but in my case....

 

He is 100% safe. He is the star, the king in his company.

 

Me? I might lose my job. Again. They tell me not to worry, but I worry a lot. 

fK said she wants to keep me till retirement. That would be at least 15 more years.

Fifteen.

 

I should go and play lotto. 

 

I feel so small.

I mean... I AM small, (LOL), that is not the real problem, I can ask people for help if I cannot reach items in a store high up.

But when  your ego goes down as much as mine....

 

A "new" year in Ingo´s life.

 

I will put on the work-PC,2 minutes late now...

 

 Henry 🦁 sends Granpa Max... 

 

 

Yes, Max.

Or... no?

I´ll stand in the street. Maybe a holiday,maybe not. Who knows...

 

Visiting The Big Lady

Since years I wanted to visit Brunonia, the Quadriga on top of the "castle" and Saturday, when I met with friend fK we went.

 

 Wiki: "Brunonia is the symbolic national goddess of the Duchy and Free State of Braunschweig, derived from the Brunonen, among others. portrayed by Ernst Rietschel as the leader of the Braunschweig Quadriga, which has been standing on the reconstruction of the Braunschweig Castle in Braunschweig, which serves as a shopping center, since October 23, 2008."

 

High above the city: 

 

 Wiki: "There are five quadrigae in Germany, of which the Braunschweig one is by far the largest: the group, cast from silicon bronze between 2006 and 2008, weighs 25.8 tons and measures 9.50 meters at its highest point. Brunonia alone is 5.30 meters tall, the four draft horses are each 4.30 meters tall."

 And my friend is nearly as tall as Ingo!!!

And still:

  "Albert Einstein's creative and brilliant quotes

 

The courage to be different

 

Those who follow the crowd usually don't get any further than the crowd. The one who goes alone is likely to find himself in places where no one has ever been."

Henry 🦁 sends Granpa Max who belongs to the arm above (to the right):

 

Ingo left some footsteps, too. Tomorrow is his Birthday.

And again Albert is scary. Ingo is different, also. It might be a burden, it might be a joy, I don´t know how long I can still take it. If you don´t talk for days it breaks one´s heart. Mine is done.

Two posts today. This needed to get out.

Respect, Please

 "Remember to be kind and respectful towards our staff."

I do believe this sign in Transperth  is obsolete. 

Even when The Giants from Royal de Luxe were in Perth 2015 everybody was friendly and respectful!

Ahhhh.... Transperth... miss it!

 

From the tablet...

 

 

Maybe I´ll be off to Wilhelmshaven tomorrow.

By car.

Will drive me nuts. I hate driving by car.

If you never hear from me again I went and that was the end.

 

The end. Found this at FB - please understand:  it is written in  first-person, but I copied this from Facebook. It is not me who saw this in real life. I share a found story with you.

 

 

 

"Damn, That's Interesting
Fifty Shades of Wonders  ·
  ·
This is Ashlee Hammac's tribute to her son Ryan who passed away when he was just 5 days old. 

She was going to decorate his gravesite with glass pebbels, but she added a sandbox instead so her older son, Tucker, could grieve and play with his baby brother. 

Tucker often sings lullabies and talks to him and calls it baby Ryan's sandbox. It is touching and heartbreaking isn't it? 

 

Baby Ryan's heart was donated though and saved the life of another baby. 

I've seen people criticize this mom for this idea. Really? It's nobody's business except the family's! They grieve as they see fit. Period!

What do you think? 

This is for Tom´s Signs2 but I certainly have the words of a clever man for you still:

On the topic of education

  

The goal [of education] must be the training of people who act and think independently, but who see service to the community as their highest life task."

T STands For BeeTrooT

With this sadly super-sweet drink from last Saturday I join Elizabeth´s T again - it was a wonderful warm summer´s day, friend fK and I were enjoying ice-cold drinks watching people and a high-performance group of break-dancers.

The journal:

 

Monday: Some whopping 2 documents in 9 hours, phew.

Still works in the cellar.

Heating is on. In September!!

My feet hurt - I really need to contact the doc. It´s getting scary.

 

Helgoland is cancelled. Would take forever, as they changed plans and we would be stuck for a long time and this in the cold weather.... no thank you - sorry, Mom... Last time I was 9 years old... and all I remember is I happily ate licorice on the rocky boat whilst my little brother needed a barf-bag....

 

Tuesday: On teams with fK. I needed a paper from under the keyboard, lift it and... BOOM my middle monitor turned black. Restart - problem even bigger as teams, that I have on the left, opened in the middle and that thing was still black, how to get help?

Glad it went that way, I solved the problem myself. mT would´ve likely laughed about me..

And now my workplace is so far away  from the board, I can finally fill in the stuff I need near to never.

 

Help, please.

I have two baby-photo-albums of big Niece - Bro gave me Mum´s, too.

From little Niece there is NONE.

I don´t flip through them, they just eat up space in our small condo.

Give them to big Niece as "a secret"? 

Wee one would be hurt learning there is sooo much of her big Sis and nothing of herself - can big Niece keep the secret? She turned 14....

Wait till she turns 18 and put them wrapped up in the cellar meanwhile? Yes? Any idea?

I don´t see myself sitting there as an old lady going through them, but she would probably...

I meet them maybe every two years, so... there is no bond anymore...

Wednesday: I think my work-day was too tough, my brain was empty...

Ingo´d ordered... Lego/BlueBrixx. Reckon you can guess what?

Yes, trains, like this one and more.... Of course.

 

Please... encourage Ingo to make room on his table to build the trains - I SO look forward to see the results!!!

 

Ingo: OK, gotta go and download the construction instructions.

Me: They aren´t in there?! What does someone without internet do????

Ingo: It was an online-order...

As said, empty brain here... Zombie.

Warm night on the balcony. Bat-watching :-)

They are too fast for taking pictures, of course - but hearing and seeing them on a warmish night was fun.

Thursday: 10:00 a.m. invitation to an "Inside Insight"-Meeting at 04:30.

Only CEO #1.Telling us business is running not good all all. Ceo #2 has different tasks now, #1 hired a consulter etc. We´re a party of 450 peeps, many without project. There will be no tariff increase this year.

When done there was time for questions.

I nearly fell off my chair. First question so quickly came in, if also in April there will no increase?

HELLO?????

In the Diesel affair my then-company lost some projects, too. Boss gathered us all (in person) and said: 2 possibilities: those people have to go or we ALL get less salary for a while.

Apart from one everybody raised hands for less salary.

This ESE-tariff-guy should ... get nothing at all for a while.

It was wonderfully warm again (for late September)

 

Friday: Got 3 Max-pics, as if my friend knew I am anxious about the job.

mK (project manager) told me not to worry - but I do.

Customer asked me for a teams-meeting on Monday.

200 hours were the deal. I worked 528 cause the customer sent a fat packet in addition (yippee). I am not to worry.

That Thursday-meeting gnaws on me.

 

Weekend: Saturday: Met up with friend fK to visit our company at "Day of the rail"... met nice colleagues, got some cool gimmicks, had ice cream and finally visited Brunonia! Hiiiiigh up, post to come. She´s even bigger than the one in Berlin!

It was a wonderful sunny, warm day.

Finally later met her wife, too- son was joining with a fat yellow winter-wool knit-hat. To be a bored teenager again (not),LOL.

When home Ingo and I went onto the balcony to watch bats again.

Awwww. Summer-nights!

Sunday: Pics-and chat-exchange via teams and WhatsApp  with fK...Hilarious.

Munchy:

 

 

At "Day of the rail" - suiting my shirt, as fK pointed out.

Was kinda... "earthy" she commented (we shared).

Sadly saw the sign ""REUSABLE" only on the pic :-( 

 

Sunday:

 

 Those who know me... I am AFRAID of anything hot,yet, as Ingo refused I managed  to make a "great" BBQ.

 

He refused just to hurt me. Sad. Spoon is a "blue Gurri".

And....

 

 "Albert Einstein's creative and brilliant quotes

 

Common sense 

Common sense is nothing more than a repository of prejudices that have become established in the mind before one is eighteen years old."

 Henry 🦁 sends Granpa Max... 

 

At least one of us.

I am out. Maybe without job, maybe without "more", it seems so.

Ingo: Then look for another job.

Yah. In good times ....only.

I feel like I´m drowning.

Maggi-Fest2024 #3

 Sorry for the cliché... I make up for it with this one:

My friend advised I stand like a flamingo to re-learn my balance, which has suffered due to my bad hearing cause of an accident on the right ear. As in standing on one leg. This one refuses...

Hubby´s name is INGO ...so.. flamINGO.

This is near Wave Rock in WA, 1995 we payed a visit - here you see how huge it is and can find more info.

More next time.

This is for Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals. 

And ... the last ones, sadly...

 

"Albert Einstein's creative and brilliant quotes

 

About humility

 

As a human being, you are endowed with just enough intelligence that when confronted with what exists, you can clearly see how utterly inadequate that intelligence is." 

Hmmm. do I agree? Do you?

Either way, to a happy, creative,  new week!

Mine not so much.

Talk to the customer and Ingo took my trust away.
