Note what´s written in the yellow bulb... (and in the aftermath I wonder why it all is written in English? I bought this here at REWE, a German grocery. But with my job I sometimes don´t even notice which language comes around.
Yet,this is strange!)
Nice they had this warning - there really were coconut-"bubbles" to chew in!
With this crazy drink I join Elizabeth´s T.
The journal:
Monday: So cold I saw my breath when going to the pharmacy. YIKES!!! Glad I have "morning heat". Do you have that, also? For 1-2 hours in the mornings I am cozily warm.
Online news: In Vienna (Austria) 80-85% of pupils do not speak German. Nor their parents.
Translators are needed - who pays?
If a pig 🐖 or a rainbow 🌈 is in a book it´s a big bu-huuu.
One boy, 1st grade, had pornographic material on his smartphone (1st grade and smartphone alone is too much for me). He attacked his teacher verbally and physically.
And it´s only Monday.
Glad I did not become a teacher.
War is awful, traumatic. But if you come here, integrate, learn the language and the customs, seek help.
Tuesday: teams-call: "Hallo Iriiis, wie geht es diiiiier?... Tschüssie, ciao-ciao". My Brazilian mC called for help, LOL. Maybe he gets a project and can involve me? Or he just picks always me out of 450 peeps, either way, always nice to talk to him (we met personally (he works in Frankfurt - where "our" tram runs)).
Then fK called for a private chat and told me to not feel bad I do dumb things like clearing my Outlook and such - not my fault they have no project for me. I try...
Her: "Did you do the taxes?" - Me: "Did you write your last will?". We procrastinate...
Wednesday: Cleaned the kitchen etc. Much stuff that will go for free in the street.
And then I found ALBA has an online-exchange. Vacuum-cleaner, Pie-maker, noodle-machine etc, all the stuff we didn´t use in years can go there.
Insight Inside, a teams-meeting from CEO. ESE will have to take "drastic consequences".
From 450 people only 115 attended and one even asked if there will be severance payments.
Duuuude, really?! We are there with our real names, too. If I don´t get a project soon...
fK called and said likely they keep the engineers. And also my translation-job, you need to understand railway, hence, engineering... Wish me luck.
Thursday: The political "traffic light" is history and smurf Scholz was referred to as the "most unpopular chancellor Germany has ever had".
I come back from the kitchen, see Peanut jumping from the table, both walnuts gone, King Frog lies on the side. There was a Mama with two babies years ago and one day Ingo saw an adult squirrel dead in the street. So I assumed two walnuts are enough, but the rioting suggests there is a third one?
Had three Tea-Rexis at my workplace. fK: "Didn´t Ingo give you your Zippos today?" (Did,was cold anyway).
Asked fK for Excel-help and could help her with MS Outlook - teamwork, huh?
She keeps saying I should use the waiting time as I like. I feel like a cheater.
Friday: At the pharmacy I got an address for a doctor who still takes new patients (most can not). She advised to go personally to ask tor an appointment, not phone.
Glad I did - November 20th. Supernice atmosphere.
Went to KIK (stands for Kunde ist König, customer is king). The cash-out lady spoke German. Other Turkish, certainly Ukrainian (I suppose) and who knows what else.
Sadly Ingo has job first. Gets up at 04:00 and to bed super-early, other too tired for me.
Weekend: Saturday: Ingo brought the yummiest meat! And I had a long chat with our cash-out woman, Bea. It was too funny. We met in an aisle, chatted and she then said, "we´ll meet at the cash-out :-)".
But... there was Fatty!!
Bea was at the self-check out and, boy... she told me "Fatty" (he is not only overweight but unkempt, oily hair etc) can pave walls with warnings and complaints.
I once yelled at him when he tried to betray me....
I asked her why he is still here then? The boss is too tired to go through the process of firing him.
Hm. like my former boss with "Wiki"...
Sunday: I SO slept in. This weather takes me down. We watched Die Maus and had that yummy roast beef again.
Too funny: the start of Die Maus is always in another language. We had NO clue - it was Irish!!! 
LOL, my teamleader at ALSTOM was not happy with his English, so, he decided to have a semester exactly there. THAT was a surprise 🤣 Bill... please never call me on the phone, I will not understand a word!

"30 bizarre wildlife facts that are actually true
Japanese macaques play with snowballs
Japanese macaques are also known as “snow monkeys”. The primates that live in the forested regions of northern Japan like to warm themselves in hot thermal springs when temperatures drop below zero. The monkeys are then often photographed relaxing in the hot pools.
Once they regain their strength, the younger macaques enjoy playing in the snow and rolling snowballs across the ground. These games have no obvious survival purpose, but are simply for fun."

Sadly it is not revealed if they throw the balls at each other...
