A gift? I know some people which I would call annoying, because they cannot stop talking. The good thing about such people is, that I don't need to talk myself though - so it might really be a kind of gift I think ;) lol
I have had a busy day at work and it stopped raining, but the weather forecast says it will rain a lot in the next few days, but I don't mind, because we need some rain after many dry days, and now everything will get green as it should be in Spring 🙂
Tomorrow is a holiday and next week I'm working from home, but it will be like holidays ;)
Take care Jo 🙂
Haha maybe gift isn’t the right word. I know a few like you mentioned and you couldn’t get a word in if you wanted.
What is the holiday tomorrow? It used to be known here as May Basket day but that seems to have gone by the wayside. May 1 is an ancient Gaelic celebration of dancing around the Maypole and other festivities.
Have a good one Johann 🙂
Sometimes I'd like to have that "gift", when I have to "entertain" visitors or colleagues in our company, but I haven't, so I try to never be alone with people I don't know ;)
Today is a holiday here - May 1st is our Labour Day and in normal times there would be many celebrations. I don't like such celebrations anyway where mostly the politicians praise themselves, so I don't mind that almost nothing is happening this year. Also, in "normal" years every village has a "Maibaum" (May Tree) - I think it is similar as your Maypole and people have fun and dance too.
Have a good day too Jo 🙂
I was wondering what kind of work you do Johann. Don’t feel you have to answer. I think you would do fine talking to anyone no matter the job.
Nice to know the May 1 celebration customs are still alive somewhere and practiced in a normal year.
Yes, I think there's no village which does not have a Maypole and a dance around the Maypole feast.
What I work? Hm, I thought I had mentioned it in a former post, but it might also have been in a comment.
It's funny that you ask this today, because today is May 2nd and exactly 35 years ago on May 2, 1985 I had my first day as a student in the school of my "company" which was and still is there: Link to Google Maps.
The job I have learned there was not my dream job - I have finished the school though, but never really did the job I have learned. I am still working in this area, but in the logistics department southern L-shaped building. I have done a few different jobs, but since 2012 I am responsible for the offices and buildings which my company owns or has rented in our whole state of carinthia. These offices are commonly known as police stations and a few times a month I wear my uniform and a gun ;)
But as said above this has never been my dream job, but it is a very safe and quite well paid job. This why I prefer to sit in the office and I'm looking very much forward to my retirement in about 6.5 years 🙂
Congrats on 35 years Johann. We don’t always have our dream job. Your job sounds interesting and I‘m glad it is safe with all the craziness in the world.
I worked for 25 yrs in banking (in different departments at an Autoworkers Credit Union). Math calculation was always my worst subject and I didn’t like accounting. Maybe I just liked the idea for being around money.😂
That's the most important thing nowadays I think, to have a safe job :)
I would prefer to be around money that belongs to me ;)
I like office and computer work, but I don't like accounting very much. I know that, because I have also worked in our accounting department for a while ;)
Have a great weekend Jo 🙂
