For real I went in once, saw the prices, turned and left. Is there gold in their coffee?
(The?) two Starbucks-stores in town have closed.
But this was yummy! 🥰
The journal:
Monday: Good news: I am not dumb!!! The whole weekend I thought I was, but Admin T said it was Telekom´s fault my work-smartphone did not work!
So, went again and got a new one and this time we installed everything together.
Met 4 colleagues for real, and boy, some act totally different from teams in real life.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde...
Also met one of the bosses.
80 minutes brisk walking counts as sport. (Payed sport!!!)
Tuesday: Fun with Admin T. Got loads of work done, but... Tired, soooo tired. Is it this dark, grey weather?
Managed to force myself to 4 sessions of training in hopes I´ll feel better the next day.
I do it like this now (in case you need inspiration):
Left monitor: picture-slideshow - of a holiday, food or such.
Right monitor: left side: TV-program, right side the sports-program. If TV gets interesting I interrupt.
Fully awake after sport, Supernatural, bed.
Same with you? Come bedtime... fully awake, I hate this!
Wednesday: Fun with Admin T, work moderate for both of us hence...
Nice teams-chat with K, too.Still made good progress at work.
4 sessions of sport.
08:09 p.m. door-bell. Thought, GACK! Mistaken as LIGHT again!
Went anyways.
Main-door
opened, person put on light, stepped up to me, showed his ID and said
he´s the bailiff - WHAT???? - if I know a Mr. M and where he lives...
What crap working hours does this man have? And what a shit#y job, too.
Thursday: Work was exhausting and frustrating, but we´ll find ways.
Teams-chat with K on studies on diverse thinking.
Lunch: Threw quickly some on-the hand-stuff together, like a "frittata", flipped with the €2 plastic-plate > three meals, old stuff used up yummily.
Later was SO tired.
Made myself to do training > felt refreshed. Thank you, stubborn brain, it did me very good!
Friday: ...03:00 a.m., church-bells ringing, someone yelling outside... repeating sleepy-head: "There was a clown-beating?!!!" - "oh, no, not again..." - "... Town meeting!!"
That´s how my weekend started after work (with Gilmore Girls).
What a day. I needed one-on-one help with the phone, LOL, with cam on! I think Admin T has fun also! ;-) Yes. You can say I have my private Admin!
Nice chat with K and found a great tutorial. Same ole, though, I see everything in English just to find a newer surface and in German.
Lunch: quickly threw a Brussel´s Sprouts-soup together with the rests, three more meals!
Hence... lunch-pic:
Ingo does not like it... more for myself?
Weekend: Saturday: We want to make Soljanka. Grocery-store REWE has just crappy letscho, so I went to EDEKA. Huuuuge store, where to find letscho? Finally asked. The young girl looked like a cow in lightning (German saying?), "What is letscho???" - showed me to another staff. As young as her, no idea either. He gave me his cell and asked me to write it down, boy, really?! So, now we had a pic.... long story short, after some search dude #3 finally found it.
Recipe on on Thursday - was YUM!
Sunday: Met W. He came rolling in by push-bike! And easily made it up the three flights of stairs. I hope I´ll be as fit at 85! He told me to tell Ingo to clear the kitchen table. Ingo did - finally, yippee! (It´s my Grandma´s).Other a quiet day.
You see...
My Mom was a messie, maybe due to growing up in WW II, fleeing to Germany (from "the Russians" btw) etc, etc...
Our home looked so bad, Bro never invited friends over in later years (when we were little Mom did her best, but let go later).
Ingo is chaotic. He knows exactly where what is, but the chaos makes me sick.
He can have chaos in his work-room, but I WANT..I NEED kitchen and hall clear.
When you feel ashamed to let neighbors in... that´s no good, is it.
We finally have a start in eliminating the chaos.. we have a lift-off!!!
And yes. We have a telly in the kitchen.
I grew up like that. I was born early 1970´s - we had a TV at the dining table.
