My Bookish Life

Hello folks! I know it's been way too long since my last post on here. But I wasn't really in the mood for blogging and had not the right words. I hope you all are doing well this year that's obviously a bloody mess. I mean 2020 should have been the year of the roaring 20s with lots of fun, achievements, changes, a better year. But instead it got worse. We've a global pandemic due to Covid-19, thousands of death, political chaos, lockdowns, Brexit, police brutality and murders, #BlackLivesMatter protests, still not enough equality for Trans-People or the LGBTQ+ community... As I said a complete mess. I had lot's of plans at the beginning of the year, but now it's just work that went on like normal even in the lockdown phase we had here in Germany. Since our company is delivering food, we had a huge chaos and then a huge gab in the deliveries.  My job sucks like usual, I've got more and more work. Was out of a job in hospital for a few weeks since my job ...

Last Friday I was at the show of a friend. He's the one I often write about on Twitter when we head to dinner and the one who sings and is working with light and audio technique on big shows etc. I often help him with his shows and I also did on New Years Eve. He got himself a new professional camera then and I had the honor of doing one of two cameras that night. When 2020 didn't look that bad of a year.  Well last Friday he had a tiny show with some friends and I promised I'd show up. Due to my back problems I wasn't any help at all but it was nice seeing him. Although I swear wearing a mask in a stuffier room is no fun for nearly 4h *laughs* Anyway I had a talk with his dad's friend - nice older guy who's supporting his firm and him. He got me outside to talk because he said he had something important to tell me.  First he got me 100 bucks for helping all the time with the show and I was surprised. Then he told me that he got the film from New Year to a guy w...

Hello guys! It's been a while since my last post. Sadly my laptop died and I just got it back yesterday. Edit: This was the beginning of the post when it died again!!! aaahhhh.... But now after a while it's back again and (for now) functioning. Well how are things? Good, definitely good... Finished my oral exam on the 5th July and are working as a fully trained freight forwarder since the 6th. I've lots of work and it does not get less. But that's a good thing in some ways, right? We had a few calm days lately but I'm already bored. *giggles* I can't stand when I've nothing to do. Won't have a big time off until October so I'm enjoying every weekend to the fullest or try to. Was at the Sting & Shaggy concert on Friday 13.07. and it was absolutely brilliant! There where so many wonderful classics from the both of them and some songs from their new album 44/876. If you wanna see a thread of pics and videos from this concert, click here ...

Hello guys! I'm sorry I was away for so long but I simply had lots to do and work is kinda stressful atm and then I had no inspiration/ motivation to write a blog post. I'm sorry. Well, exams are done, I've my results and now I'm preparing for my oral exam in about a month. As I said work is kinda stressful atm because of all the official holidays we had this month. I work half time in another department and half in my own. I sometimes feel like I have to clone myself to get all the work done. I hope it'll be better in the upcoming week but I doubt it. Probably have to work on TUE (another official holiday here) too... Alone. And I'm worried that there will be some crap I have no clue how to handle. But well we'll see about that very soon.... Everything else here is fine, it's getting summer and very warm some days. It's beautiful but I prefer the rain due to my hay fever. My back is killing me again and I'm just working on pain killers ri...

Hello guys, I know it's been a while since I last posted here but I've simply been so busy. And when I was not, I wrote a bit on one of my fanfiction to relax. 24./25. April. The crucial dates for my 3 final exams I have to write... Our school/trainee-system here in Germany is quite complex so short version: working in the job is just not enough and we have had school during the last 3 years as well. To be fully trained, we've 3 tests in our main subjects (logistics/freight forwarding/marketing, politics/sociology and accounting/ controlling) 3 tests in 2 days and then 2 months later an oral exam. I've been studying very hard for this with a friend and took this week and next week off to study some more. As wasn't as productive as I thought I'd be but I'm good in time. I'm studying with a colleague from school most of the time. We're nearly finished with all the stuff to rehearse and now we're often do old exams to test ourselves. I'm ...
