Year: 2006

a very merry christmas and a good start into the new year.

Hope you’ll have some relaxing holidays.

Since I’ve been working, today has been the worst day – ever. It was one of those days where nothing went the way I wanted – nothing worked the way I wanted. It was one of those days where I might have just stayed at home, because the eight hours I “worked” brought nothing for anybody. What a waste. Plus, the computer kept crushing – showing me some video-card error. The monitor was all funny looking and in a resolution – let’s say – 400×200… ERDAS kept giving me errors etc etc. Seriously, a day which was – horrible!! I felt my hair getting grey, my heart beating faster, my mind going crazy. But I’m home now and relaxed, and tomorrow is a new (let’s hope good) day 🙂

I don’t mind when the tram is late. After all, it’s driving through the whole city through the whole traffic. Cars may be in the way, people may be in the way. I don’t mind – I know it’ll come some time. Well.. ok… if it’s 15 minutes late I tend to get pissed off.
But what I hate is when the tram is too early. Even if it’s just one minute – one minute is precious time when you want to reach public transportation. Yes it is. If the schedule is saying the tram is going to leave at 17:08, why is it leaving at 17:07??? Three clocks I’m looking it are telling me it’s too early for the tram to leave.
My luck that I’m leaving the building at 17:03 because I know it’ll take me 4 minutes to get to the station and so I’ll have one minute to wait. Or not…

I bought a book today. I’ve seen a documentary over the author (female) and I found her writing style quite interesting. She writes very cynical and provoking, so I just had to buy one book of her. The bad thing is that I won’t have time to read it before christmas, so I’m going to give it to my sister as a xmas present and hope she’ll borrow it to me 🙂

Or maybe I’ll start reading a little tonight?

… I get this call from a friend – a friend I haven’t heard from in 12 years.
At age 12 we both shared a horse, and one day she calls me and says “she’s not going to come to the horse anymore” and that was the last time we talked to each other.

We were best friends. We slept at each other’s houses 14 days in a row etc. Just the perfect definition of best friends. She went on holidays with me and my family and things like that. And then boom – from one day to each other. And the friendship ended in such a weird and awkward and of course, sad way.

Anyways, there’s this site Lokalisten.de. People from German (I think also Austria and Switzerland) cities and suburbs join that page if they want. I searched for my friend but found her brother. I last saw him as a little kid – with seven or eight years – he’s 20 now. And he has CHANGED (doh!)

So I wrote to him, he told his mom he saw me online and his mom told my former best friend that I’m looking for her hehe…

And yesterday, at 7pm, I was at my parent’s place, the phone rings and it’s her!! We chatted and laughed as if nothing ever happened. And I was so happy. She has a little baby-girl already. So many of my former girlfriends I met on that site have little babies already 🙂

Did something like this ever happen to you?

I seem to post on a weekly basis in the moment.

I actually wanted to blog yesterday but then the lover came over and I had to take care of him 😉 I had so much to blog about, and now I can’t remember. My memory is soooo bad!

I got my hair cut today. Instead of almost reaching my ass my hair now goes to my nipples. Way better, it was way too long before and looked ugh.

Umm… well… my eyes hurt. Some days I come to work and after I turn on the computer I feel how my eyes get wet and start itching. And then it mostly goes the whole day. It makes me feel tired. I need to go to the eye-doctor sometime soon to get them checked. Last time I did that was when I got my driver’s license, so.. many years have passed and who knows, I might need glasses (might not).

I put up a new layout. For the December – maybe January month. It’s weird not having a sidebar, but maybe it’s just weird not continuing the habits? Everybody is scared of changes 😉 Well, ok, I’m not scared of taking away the sidebar, but just in general, in life, changes are challenges.

Now it’s time for me to fold my good smelling clean wash I just .. washed 😉

So it’s once again a weekend. It’s saturday but for some reason I’m not as relaxed as usual. I wrote a little on my internship report but I’m lazy. I first have to hand it in in April 2007, and when there’s no pressure on me, I’m bad at anticipating. Unfortunatelly.

I also wanted to work on a Powerpoint presentation I have to hold at work sometime before christmas, but right now I’m just NOT IN THE MOOD. Argh!

I bought some christmas lights yesterday and put them around my bookshelf 🙂 I also have a lighted star and moon hanging from my curtain rail, it looks very pretty and soo romantic. Damn that I’m sleeping at my lovers place tonight, seeing we’re going to do laundry. (We always wash at his place, seeing it’s cheaper than at my place)

Actually I thought of buying a plastic christmas tree (the American in me), but it cost 20 Euros and also the ornaments are so damn expensive. So I didn’t buy one. Also if I’m working now and earning money I don’t want to spend 100 Euros or so on christmas decorations.

For christmas, my family and I do a “secret santa” sort of thing. We write our names on papers and everybody has to pick a name and the others don’t know which one the other family members picked (whoooo! FUN!! hehe :P). I picked my sister and I already got her the perfect present. I found a site online which creates a Memory of pictures you send them. So I took 25 pictures of my sisters, parents, my sisters son and hubby and created 25 nice looking pictures. I can’t wait to see how the Memory looks like. I thought that was an exotic present 🙂 I also ordered a calendar for the bubby with pictures including me and him. You don’t hang that one, no, it’s standing and it’s black and silver. Very exotic and different as well. Once I’ll get my purchases I’ll take pictures and post them.

Work is fine, very busy but good. I have to create a powerpoint about the Software I tested and have to present it to different companies. In ENGLISH! I’m very nervous, seeing I don’t have the technical language of remote sensing. Especially not in English. Aah!

Work has been good.
Last week I started working with a software not so many people in the company have worked with yet. They wanted me to test it and see if it would be profitable for the classification of satellite images. It’s called Fragstats. I kinda had a nervous breakdown the first few days because it seemed like nothing was working. How frustrating. But now I’m happy, because yesterday I completed and finished the report 🙂 Good feeling :D.

Not much new here. The weather this November has been great. It only snowed one night, that was it. It’s getting colder and colder though.

Right now it’s Thursday morning. I have half a day off of work because I need to see a professor. I’d like to write my diploma by him and yeah… I’d like to check with him.

Have a wonderful day !

I’m sitting here, infront of my working PC! Well, actually I was sitting infront of it thursday night already, so long that I overslept on friday. That’s like the fourth time in my life. I still got to work when I planned though 🙂

Work is good. Working at the remote-sensing company again where I’ve worked last year too. The work is challenging and interesting. I’m in a team for Forest Monitoring and everything is in Business English! It’s an international project so I’m sitting infront of the English-German Dicitonary a lot 😀 I hope I’ll remember the words I learn (I should learn and study them)

On thursday it’s the last day of my “MS Access” course. I’m very happy, I hated driving to that part of the city, looking for a god damn parking place for half an hour and then, after sitting infront of the compy the whole day at work already, sitting infront of it another three hours. But the course was good, I’d take it again.

Today I bought two concert tickets for 160 Euro. I did have a very very strange feeling in my belly when I picked up that amount from my account, but it felt oh so good when I had the tickets in my hand. It’s in the Munich philharmonic orchestra and it’s one of the best pianists playing Rachmaninoffs piano concert #3 – the most beautiful piano concert. So, I can’t wait till MARCH 21st!! March? Wow…

Unfortunatelly, it’s not “only” the video-card what’s wrong with my Computer. Nah, it’s something bigger and now I need to send in my whole PC to the company next week. I started to install Windows XP new and after about 6% the computer froze… and now, of course, my computer totally doesn’t work anymore, because I have no operating system. That’s just great.

I’m at my parent’s place right now, my sister and my mom drove to Austria today to paint the apartment we have there. It hasn’t been renovated in 30 years (but that’s what made it cozy) 🙂 and now it’s going to be renovated.
We had a water damage there a few weeks ago and everything looks horrible. So the small little cozy place is getting a whole new makeover. Lovely. We already picked out and ordered a couch today – in brown – very lovely too.

Well babies, I hope yer all fine, enjoying the online world.
I hope to join you soon again, I really hope… I just hope it’ll be before christmas!! 🙁 🙁

GAAHHH!!!!!!
