What a day ...

Hi all,

what a day … well, let me tell you the Friday-story …

I was supposed to write my take-home exam for Negotiations. It is a case write-up which was due on Friday – well, as usual I left it to the last minute but I had already brained the case for several days … got up early and wanted to get started … heard this water-dripping … that distracts me … thought, someone left the door of the washing-machine room open … stormed out of my apartment to close it (already being annoyed) … looked left just to recognize: the door IS closed … then heard it dripping to the right and well, there was water coming down in the staircase like in a tropical rainforest waterfall … made my way up … up … up … finally, on the last floor (of course) I found the source … the washing machine leaked … banged on all three doors up there … someone must be washing … first got a Chinese couple who obviously didn’t speak English, their son who finally showed up was not the fastest either … then another door opened … it seemed I just threw that guy out of bed … it was him who washed – wonder who goes to bed when he’s washing?!?

Ok, that was around 9.30am … even though neither my fault nor my business … it ruined my concentration … I wrote just 2 sentences in the next 30 mins … well, somewhen I gained my concentration back and wrote at my standard rate of about 700 words per hour … and finished my assignment by 2.30pm to go shopping with Karen … I found a gorgeous dress – silk, blue/black background, light-colored flowers … just need the right shoes now ;)

And then, I’ve sent out an “invite” to meet at the pub … several people told me they would come … I waited for 1.5 hours – nobody showed up … so I left furiously … nearly home, Vixs called me … we went to a Pancake place and had some excellent, delicious rum-banana and strawberry pancakes :) So, the day had a good ending at last …
