Knitter, handball and ice hockey fan, German. Older than you think, and not one bit wiser. Random stuff and things.

Two of my the fans have started making noise they shouldn't make. Took one of them apart completely to clean it, put some new grease on, and right now that seems to have done trick. Who knows, maybe the fault lies with the hundreds of thrips that fell out of it. 🙄

Do you also have those neighbors who always have to do their big garden, or building, or repair projects on a Sunday? While making as much noise as possible? This is why I wish I had a house in the middle of nowhere - no neighbors.

...I may have forgotten to put the coffee grounds into the machine. It's too fucking early for this shit. 🙈 But hey, there was already milk in the mug at least. 🙄

The 11-year old son of my boss is better at putting his used dishes into the dishwasher than the grown up men. Is anybody surprised?

So, dann können ja jetzt alle endlich aufhören die Fußball WM zu gucken, oder? Jetzt wo das ganze dank den zwei alten Säcken komplett zur Farce geworden ist.

Not sure why I'm thinking of this tonight, because it happened at least ten years ago, but my brain works in mysterious ways. Back then my friend was living in Vancouver, and shortly before going to visit her family in Quebec she told me about being nervous about the flight.

Sometimes people really just forget that certain things could kill them, huh? Beginning of the week one of my classmates made her way through demolishing a bunch of cherries she got fresh from the garden of our other classmate, when she suddenly just stopped and started starting into nothing.

You know, it's really amazing how people think that me being single and childless means they can just demand my time. When you've been making plans with other people to meet up on the weekend and I only know because I happened to be in the same room, don't get fucking insulted...

When you go shopping first thing in the morning when the stores open - which is 7 o'clock - in the hopes that it will be cooler outside. And get bitterly disappointed. At least inside the store was nice. 🥵

I'm working with Rosetta Stone this week, and one thing has become clear to me after just one day: I'm not giving them my money once I actually get fed up with Duolingo for good. Their speech recognition is the worst, the lessons themselves maybe half a step above the green owl. Nope.

According to Rosetta Stone, my English skills are at a C1+ Level. I'm wondering if they don't go up to C2 because then they can't say they still have things to teach you. 😏 Class today was decidedly meh.

This next week has the potential to turn into an absolute disaster and\or a complete snooze-fest. I've been back to school since January learning office management for two years, and so far so good. Next week is a break from the usual routine, as it's dedicated to one subject only.

At the same I think it's absolutely crazy how young people joining the big wide interwebs are willing to just put anything out there. Early 2000s, nobody even knew my first name. What the fuck happened?

I have never been so glad to have kept my real life separate from my online life as I am now. Just the fact that one of my classmates is following me on Instagram leaves me feeling weird, because it's always been the other way around.

So this actually is fun. Too bad the camera isn't good enough to really catch the lightning. ...and the best ones always happen when I've just stopped recording anyway.
