My keyboard is set to German.
At first, I did it to be quirky. But, it turned out to be a really convenient quirky setting. I use the German letters such as ä or ü far more often than I thought. There is one drawback though. I can´t seem to figure out where the 'at' symbol is. So everytime I need to use the at symbol, I switch the keyboard language back to English, make the at symbol and then switch the keyboard to German again. I figure it is a small price to pay for quirkiness.
I talked to my boss last week for the first time in months and I think I like us being in contact. Up until last week I enjoyed knowing that I had a boss, but that it never got in my way. Some people see their bosses almost everyday and that was never really necessary for me. But, I do find it really interesting to talk to her once a week now. Unfortunately, she asked me to think about what I want to do (when I grow up). This is the same question that gets thrown around at work functions, mostly because no one else knows what they want to be either. I can´t just answer 'I don't know...uh...ballerina?' A. I have no aptitude for it. B. I don't want to be one. So, Ì am going to try and come up with some tentative ideas before our next meeting and see if they can be grown into a job. Basically the point of doing my job is to put myself out of a job. Funny, right? But, it´s true. The better and quicker I can work on my projects, the faster I put myself out of a job. It has been the point of the job since I started and the reason for me to stay on my toes and shoot for the next assignment because if I set myself up correctly and play my cards right, I can do whatever I want.
On a completely different note, I might try to make bread today.´ We'll see if I make it out of the house, to the grocery store and back to my house again. Oh distraction...it always happens.
I am currently reading Not so funny when it happened. The book is unfortunately not so funny now, after it all happened. It´s a book of random travel stories, but even I have some funnier travel stories. Meh, what can you do?
