Jeanie inspired me to this - this was January 2025 - I try to recap best moments... (I was so happy to still have my job!)
Let me head to February:
It was too cold, though... Take it to Perth? Pressie by Ingo.
March...
April...
My friend´s "wife" thinks .. I dunno - Vegemite you spread very, very thin - the next 5 years I´ll eat Vegemite-sandwich! And if some Pomm pops in, I have Marmite, too - no discussion 😘
I put wife in "" as they are not married. They have twins but would not profit from the system for them, or themselves, just because they are women - Germany, behind the rock.
You can help by sending a post card and twice I got one back! Only twice which I think is good.
Once I donated to a German institution and year after year I got cheap "pressies" until I told them off. THAT was where my money went to?! I did not help people in need I helped a German institution - I was young, had my first job, not much money, I was shocked and angry.
No ad, but if you wanna help our helpers... here.
May...
Both pair of socks knitted by Ingo´s (late) Grandma - do I miss her - we lived with her.
And when Ingo had to move out every second weekend I visited (Ingo lived still in Rhüden, me in Braunschweig) we popped by and even before we reached her door she ripped the door open and went: "My Children!!!" I´m wearing another pair of her socks right now.
Note my tops differ so there is something left for Elmo... And that became her hobby - I found her on the ground sorting rests of wool so we get:
... for the whole family.
I think the plant dies - it was too cold!
June...
"We" ... "stole" them from the woods and I rescued some to Braunschweig.
July...
I hate! to travel without Ingo and by accident they gave me this bed to attend in a crazy city (Dortmund) a very stupid seminar. Did I feel lonely... (only my bed-side lit).
Turns kinda in an hommage, huh?
September...
Let me tell you... I cried of joy. I cried of joy. The Alstom-laptop was delivered to my door by my teamlead fE even!
Having my job back - if only as trainee - the flowers traveled from my private PC to work PCs and back again - such a wonderful feeling!!!To be productive at work and loved at home.
On to October...
In the 1970´s my Grandma bought detergent Pril because of the flower-stickers - they are back, the stickers!
And I presented myself with a Halloween-calendar and they all piled up by Ingo´s tram and train!
Huh, November already!
fK asking me for a call and my glue-engineer mSA asks the same! mDA1 just calls. I like to be prepared (having Rexis I need to plan )Rexi is a huge cup of tea and... meep).
How do you do that? Some really in a middle of a teams-meeting say, "sorry, I need to go!".
A crooked tree ended up here and Ingo presented me with a new lamp!
Now finally, December:
Henry 🦁 of course was the happiest, having his people all around him!
I got my X-Mas-Pressie: 98% I get my job back!
Red coat is Gurri on the left, right side fK. All others were on holiday already or working from home (yes I am small...).
2025 had it´s up and downs. Let´s count the ups, right?
"Yippeeeee!!!" says this astronaut!
He´s a key holder and pocket lamp I could not resist - maybe a she, I don´t care even, we are people - also nice: I said to my customer:
"Are you allowed to put on a meeting with others for me, I´m but a trainee!" -
"You are my colleague!!!" - and he used the male form, "Kollege", not KollegIN". One thing fK and I are of different opinions, but most of my life I worked with men only, was the only "woman" and treated like a man.
To let us being PEOPLE.
Have a happy Sunday!
