Today was so bizarre. K and I have spent the last 3 days in a hotel, since our furniture (which has now become HHG in the shipping vernacular) is all in a container on its way to the Port, a ship, Panama, the Atlantic, the Rhine, and Stuttgart. So we had Haferbrei (aka oatmeal) for breakfast, then took our heavy suitcases up to the Transit Center for K to take the bus to the airport. His flight was supposed to leave about 1 pm but it was late, natch, so he finally left about 3 pm. I went to work.
Amazing, a whole regular work day, with meetings and conference calls and emails and the whole time, a little part of my brain was saying, "this is the last day...."
I could NOT make the computer phone work off the internet system at work, I think because our system is too sophisticated for the puny little residential phone. So people will just have to leave a message and I will have to figure it out later.
So I had a lunch meeting without food (the order had never been sent). Then my colleagues asked me to come down to the conference room for a second, and SURPRISE! a going away party. About 25 people were there, the big guy made a complimentary speech and there was a cake. In a weak moment (I can't help it, I was really surprised), I invited everyone to visit in our future guest room. Hope they don't all come!
Then another meeting, a lot of going away emails and phone things, 2 presents! out for a beer to our favorite bar, and then a ride to the airport. Now I wait for the plane.
Kein Problem, at least the crew is here.
