Another week

Another week is almost over. A very hot and humid week at that, even though yesterday we had a really violent storm in München. I was still at the office and the storm was right on top of us, lightning and thunder were almost instant. I am surprised none of the windows broke from all the thundering.  One of the lightning bolts landed on one of the tall buildings across the campus (where some GSM antennas are) and managed to cut off my phone conversation. Fun.

Also had one of those events organized by Cisco at the Brickhouse Club (rented for the occasion), with a project update session and news in the first part and food/drinks in the second part. Food was good as always and at least you have a chance to meet other people who work in the same project with us. (Note to self: do not wear a thick black t-shirt on a hot and humid day)

Oh, we started to watch “True Blood“, almost through the first season. Really good series I would say, I like it. Vampires, blood, sex, drugs, violence, gore, lots of southern accents, more blood. How can you go wrong with that ? ;-)

And last but not least, last week I had the pleasure of getting stuck in a 10km traffic jam on the autobahn because of this:

Accident

Not very amusing.

Bad weather is back

Weather was a little bit warmer for a while (and by that I only mean couple of degrees above zero) but then it all went to hell again. This is what I was seeing yesterday from my office window:

Bad. Today it calmed down a bit and it looks like this:

I am tired of winter. I am tired of snow. I am tired of cold, wet, ice and cold wind. I am tired of negative temperatures. I don’t want much, just couple of degrees above zero.

Tonight I get home after 20:00h so there is no time to do anything. Tomorrow we have to go to all kind of places, shopping, etc. On sunday we have a bit of relax time but starting with monday, we’re at it again. I am still home for that day but it’s going to be a busy day.

In the morning I have to go to the old apartment, we arranged with a company to come and pick up the last of the heavy furniture pieces. Then I have to drive to the capital city of this Kreis where I will apply for my new driving license, because I can’t do it in my own village. Of course, it’s not free: 41 €. Then back to Hertz, where I rented again a van for a day. Then back home, pick up the mountain of trash bags, old electric equipment, old wood and so on. To the dumpsite place, back to Hertz and then finally at home. The day is probably over by then ;-) Great.
