The End of the Year
As I am updating this page, I am sitting in a hotel room in Berlin, during my last work related travel of the year. I contemplated skipping this one, but since there's a motto party at work and I have a killer idea for a costume, I ain't going to skip this one.
Likewise, my wife and kids have their respective end of year festivities at work and school, and we're all looking forward to a calm Christmas Eve and winter break.
School Stuff
Our eldest daughter got the recommendation for the type of school she's going to visit next - a big deal around here, since the recommendation determines her chances to get a spot. She has the best recommendation you can get, and she has finally chosen one of the schools. Next I need to do all the paperwork to get her the spot. We visited some open days for that school and another one, and I was positively surprised how good the schools are, in comparison to what I remember from my own childhood.
Cyber Week
Cyber Week is behind us, and by us I mean my employer, Zalando, and me, since I had a shift during Black Friday. My job was to keep engineers engaged, and keep other people off their backs in the event of an incident. There was none, so I kept them engaged by reading out spam mails or playing some kind of wheel of fortune. People liked it - it defeated the boredom - and I, too, was having a blast.
Also, I bought the new Lego Enterprise D. I tried to resist, but you know, I was tired after having to start my Cyber Week shift so early, then after several hours I decided against it but complained so much about it that my wife encouraged me to buy it. Love her ❤️.
