(H)Oh, Boy!

Friday was a scary day!!

It was the 13th, Mom always used to to say this is her lucky day 🍀 and wow, she passed it on to me. My Brother believes they still look over us and this Friday 13th kinda proved him right? 

I always get up an hour early to do "stuff" (05:00 a.m.).

 

 

Was looking for a tool under the Hollywood-Swing, found oil pastels I never used and as I NEEDED some good vibes ..  see here.

 

 Dangerous store, that.

 

Later I started my work PC and I have three "wise calendars", the good stuff I always give to fK, that day:

 

"Not everyone who picks up a brush and uses colors is a painter." Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729-1781) German critic, poet and philosopher"

 

 Ummmm, OK.

 

Then...

 

fK picked me up - super-punctual!!!! 

To get legumes at the SoLawi. 

As you maybe know fK grew up in former GDR and this is a concept adapted from there:  "Community-supported agriculture (CSA model) or cropsharing is a system that connects producers and consumers within the food system closer by allowing the consumer to subscribe to the harvest of a certain farm or group of farms. It is an alternative socioeconomic model of agriculture and food distribution that allows the producer and consumer to share the risks of farming."

I expected a farm. Nope. A little shed with bikes and boxes of legumes.

 

 

(kidding, can´t find the comic anymore, I love parsley)

We then drove on to the cinema in Wolfenbüttel and were WAY too early.

So we stayed put in the car, chatting. It is cold, just saying.

The cinema is the cutest!!!!

 

 

Our top-teamlead of Railway, mM, paid it all from his private money, we got the whole room to ourselves with movies mM chose, all food and drink on him, too.

fK got a portion for two: Nachos with salsa-sauces. (My - that was yummy).

I was to pick and chose row 2.

For sure fK is a mama. She held the nacho-box till it was empty.

mM went on the stage.

 

Said, this year  we have really difficult times and there is no Christmas-party from the company, but this is our Railway-Christmas-Party.*

Said, we will make it.

And then... Are you a The Simpsons-fan? My thought was "Seymour, leave your body...".

 

In front of all colleagues (40+) he fixed me and said, "despite the hard times NO ONE is supposed to be afraid. And IF we have to let somebody go, we get him back."

He used the male form for me, too, as we both  are fed up with the gender-stuff.

I am not a Diplom-Ingenieurin, but a Diplom-Ingenieur (FH, also).

 

The movie was "Smallfoot" and for sure not for kids only (family was invited, too). 

It is about being brave and be tolerant. As fK´s wife was not there she took my hand. Was a bit odd (it was friendship only).

 

Then the Döner-place. Again mM paid everything!

I was still full from the nachos and took a small Lahmacun, ... rolled up the Italian way?

fK got her Döner in a sec, mine.... that dude made jokes and it took forever.

 

Now Döner and stuff is Turkish, right. He spoke (German and) Italian!

I finally joined fK and saw mF sitting by himself and since I finally grew up addressed him.

He smiled big and referred to my wool hat as a monkey. WHAT?! fK: "Yupp, monkey."

No!!

mF got up, told me to get up, moved my chair, sat me down (wow, some gentleman! Never happened to me before!).

There was a mirror.

"Look - monkey!" - he said with a huge smile. Well, I have a monkey ON my head, some have that instead of a brain, huh? Just look at our Smurf-chancellor  Scholz...

 

I sure could not eat all the Lahmacun and wanted to take the rest home and needed a bag.

More Italian-German, more... it took forever... I was nearly getting angry!!!

fK later: "You really didn´t get it, huh?!!!! That man was FLIRTING with you!!!"

No. Didn´t get that... meep.

We went outside to say thanks to mM.

In front of all he hugged me big. Like.. real big. That Harley Davidson boss of mine.

We went to fKs car and... she took my hand.

Life is learning and tolerance. She knows I love Ingo, I know she loves her wife.

IF mM can keep me - I hate cinema and it was way too loud but the place is so cute, the people so nice, next December I´m in again!

 

And maybe I must learn to see signs of flirting? The Döner-Italian-guy even winked but ... 

meep. No clue, me.

I mean, really, I wear Gurri and have a monkey on my head 🐵 🤣 ....

Now THAT is sexy...

 Merry Christmas(-Party)

* there was the BYO-Christmas-Party, though.

 

To some this might be too boring. If your life is better, post about or just shut up.

Why do people take the time and put on negative comments? Go to bed a tad earlier

#lHomer@last.post. Did hurt. Go red-green.

 

P.S.On TV NOW!!!

Not kidding!

See what I got at the beginning of this year!!!

I left another book in exchange.

Did I mention "scary"?

fK says there is more than "that" and now I REALLY do believe her!
