I wrote a “Leftovers” post on the train on my way to Berlin on Thursday, but the mobile internet connection sucked, so I couldn’t post it and I was to busy to do that while I was in Berlin. It wasn’t important stuff anyway, just my attempt to leave some kind of “I’m still alive” message here.

Post #4 of NaBloPoMo in May 2010. This month’s theme is: Look UpI have no idea how to come up with 26 more posts that fit the NaBloPoMo theme this month ;-) Until I figure that out or until I figure out how to somehow include a far-fetched reference to the theme in any other post I might think about posting, I'll have to make do with a photo post ( Read more... )

Four down, one more to go. I got around 5.5 hours of sleep again, which isn't too bad for a body pumped up with corticoidsteroids. I watched Grey's this morning (and the review I'll write tomorrow will probably be the shortest ever. Not because it was a necessarily BAD episode, because I would have lots to criticize then. The idea of doing a time- ( Read more... )

I wanted to write this blog post since Monday afternoon, but I just never got around to do so. Even tonight I was tempted to postpone it for another day, but I have quite a few things scheduled or planned tomorrow and I was afraid this post would stay unwritten for another day. I don't even have anything important to write about, just lots and lots ( Read more... )

I should avoid checking my bank account at the moment. A few days ago I got the last credit card bill with all the expenses of my Scotland vacation. And today I spent another 150 EUR on a whim. But I just had to, because otherwise this day and this week would have ended in such a grumpy mood again. I needed something to cheer me up!

At work I'm in ( Read more... )

I started the last entry with "I'm so exhausted", I think. Well I still am. Although not that much exhausted but more stressed. Again or still. My week needs more days and my days need more hours. What's really annoying is that it's not even fun or personal stuff that's keeping me busy. But work and local politics. And work :-)
I even have to do a ( Read more... )

Once again I have the distinct feeling that my life sucks. I can't really say why. Well, I can, but it probably doesn't make sense, because it seems like it would be easy to do something about it. My inability to do just that, ist what sucks the most, I guess. I feel overstrained by so many things I have to do. All of them rather ordinary, nothing ( Read more... )

I've spent most of my work life so far in offices with internet access. Always accessable internet access. Until now neither a boss nor IT administrator told me, that access to any site is not permitted. Well, except for some "dangerous" sites, which I never wanted to access in the first place. But I never had a problem strolling around the ( Read more... )

This might become a blog-a-thon day, as I already don't have any motivation to work (=unpack the boxes) and already have something to vent about. Well, maybe not really vent, but the day started almost as bad as yesterday.
On my way to work this morning the train had to stop at Bochum, which is two stops from my destination and workplace Essen. The ( Read more... )

I expected this day to be a ordinary start into an ordinary week at work. Not too stressful (it's summer break after all), but I had some things I wanted to start working on. And I thought that I might (or probably would) be able to even do some not-work-related stuff like look into some material for my term paper, finally write the blog post about ( Read more... )
