Talked to Steffi again today. She needs a driver to do stuff tomorrow, since none of the Europcar ones seem available. Both Do and Sven don't have the time to do things though, so it's up to me ... So let's see, the alarm is going off at 6.30am tomorrow, I'll bike to work, leave the bike there, and get a train to Rendsburg (via Hamburg it seems). From there I'm taking a Touareg to Husum, and then an Audi from Husum to Ellerau. From there I'll have to catch a train back to Lübeck, again via Hamburg. That's roughly this tour. And once that's done, my regular duty at work commences, so that'll be a rather long day ... Tags: work

I'd set the alarm to 7am for today. Got up, showered, biked into work. Arrived shortly after 8am, only to find that I might not be getting any car for rent because we were out. Oh well, while I was there anyway I got a few things done that needed to be done. Called support in Paris for help with a certain rental agreement, visited the gas station for a receipt, and rented out a car to a customer since I happened to be the only one in the office. In the end I did get a car (C200 CDI), left work and visited a bakery for breakfast. Afterwards I drove off to Husum to surprise Steffi and take a look at my soon to be work place. Steffi was really happy to see me (awww, she misses me (: ), I checked out the office, got to meet a few neighbours and customers, some of which quite dissatisfied with the previous Europcar representative ... Did I ever mention why Europcar was trying to get rid of him? No? Maybe I better keep my mouth shut then d; Anyway, spent a few hours there, then drove to Hamburg to see Chickenfoot. As you can see from the concert listing the show had been cancelled but of course I only found out when I failed to get into the venue. ): I sure hope I can find the receipt for the ticket, I should be getting my money back at least. Since there wasn't anything else to do for me in Hamburg, I returned to Lübeck and spent some time at work with Do and Thomas. And then I biked home, took a shower, and started writing an LJ entry ..... Tags: concerts, me, work

Steffi hat mich gebeten, ein paar Unterlagen von ihrem Vermögensberater zu holen und beim Steuerberater abzugeben. Ich hab das ganze mit'm Fahrrad gemacht. Im Nachhinein, eine ordentliche Entfernung. Hätte vielleicht doch erst mal frühstücken sollen, oder wenigstens was zu trinken mitnehmen sollen ... Puuuh. Und wieso man die 6 Seiten nicht einfach hätte faxen können verstehe ich auch nicht ... Eben schnell geduscht, jetzt was essen, evtl. noch kurz an meinem neuen Handy rumfummeln (übrigens, ich hab ein neues Handy), und dann wieder mit'm Fahrrad los, zur Arbeit. Aber das sind wenigstens nur ca. 5km, und nicht nochmal 20km. Tags: german, internetm bike

There's a new episode of Burn Notice available online. I've set my utorrent client to automatically download the latest episodes once they turn up. The problem here of course is people encrypting the video and trying to force you to visit their websites in order to get a license key to watch the video file (not sure if they actually expect you to pay for the license key, or are just trying to get more eyeballs for their on-site ads - I never actually go to such sites). Every once in a while I happen to get one of those files. As soon as I notice I abort the down-/upload and delete it. I don't really get why anyone would bother to upload an encrypted file in the first place. Not only are you pirating, you're doing it in a commercial fashion, thus giving IP owners more of a reason to sue, and making yourself easier to trace too, since money is involved. Second, you're poisoning search results with junk nobody wants to download. Nice going there. And lastly, there's dozens, if not hundreds, of downloads available that don't come with such restrictions. Why would anyone even want your stupid video file? Quite sucky, all this. Now I have to download all over again, and have to wait for several minutes (gasp!) for it to finish - the top torrent lists almost 6k seeders and 7.5k leechers. Pity you can't set utorrent to grab the most popular torrent ... In related news: Why the hell is Burn Notice still not being shown on german tv, dammit? Tags: internet, tv

I was going to wash some clothes just now, but when I started the washer it sounded like it tried turning the drum but failed. You probably know this particular sound an electric motor does when trying to turn something that's stuck. As it turned out (thehehe), the drum wasn't stuck though, it turned just fine when trying by hand. I was already through reading the manual for help and had almost resigned to calling tech support in the morning, but then I turned and pushed the drum for a bit, and tried a different program. I chose one that just gets rid of remaining water in the machine, and voilà, the drum turns again. I put my clothes back in, turned it on again, and ... right, nothing. I was a little confused by then, but noticed a few drops of water on the water feed. Ahh right, the stupid thing is broken and the sound is not actually coming from the motor that turns the drum, but from the water pump trying to get at some water. Well, in the end it wasn't the feed either. When I turned on the faucet to wash my hands, there was no water coming from there either. Cold water is completely out, and there's no pressure on the hot water. So anyway, good news: washer is still intact. Bad news: water's out. Tags: my place

... Letzte Nacht saß ich wieder im Klassenraum, vor mir meine Mathe Abi-Klausur, mit einer zusätzlichen Aufgabe, die 10 Jahre nach der eigentlichen Klausur hinzugefügt wurde, weil man die "damals vergessen hatte". Diese sollte ich jetzt lösen. Und ich solle mir keine Sorgen machen, an der Note ändert die eh nix mehr. Warum dann machen? Na ja, nach 10 Jahren ist man da jedenfalls ziemlich raus hab ich festgestellt, ich hatte keinen blassen Schimmer mehr. Gut, aus irgendeinem Grund hatte ich eine Wikipedia-Seite ausgedruckt mit der Lösung drauf, mein größtes Problem war also das nicht wörtlich abzuschreiben. Die Aufsicht hatte übrigens meine frühere Französisch-Lehrerin. Und dann war da noch diese komische Frau ... Und nein, ich kenne keinen Herrn Schmitt, und ich hab auch nicht seine Handy-Nummer! Sachen muß man sich bieten lassen ....... Na ja, gleich geht's auf nach Münster. Tags: dreams, german

The mailman woke me this morning to deliver both the CDs and DVD I'd ordered from Sylvan and the posters from Tale of Tales. I went to bed for another few hours of sleep afterwards, but then I got up and got busy. I changed the sheets on my bed, vacuumed the place, cleaned the bathroom, washed the floor and the shower curtain, hung up the posters and added the new CDs to my collection (I have a habit of sorting CDs alphabetically, so adding a few CDs usually involves moving most of the CDs I have around to make room for the new ones). Since I was going to grab each CD anyway, I decided to dust them off while I was at it. I'm a little dusty now myself, so I'm going to take a shower now and put on some fresh clothes ...
