It snowed!

 It snowed! 

It snowed last night, I opened my windowscreen ans saw snow on the streets and roofs. Always a suprise the first snowfall, lol. Even though I'm 44, I was excited to see the snow this morning. Today was a half day at work, we were all busy with the last orders andofcource  cleaning, It was nice though, and my hips felt a bit better. I putted my arch supports in my working shoes, and it felt so much more comfier. Still a bit of pain in my hips, but the pain was less then yesterday. Around 11:00 after we finnished the last order we started with cleaning, lots of dust and lots of brooms. 

Here it is, the working floor at Slettenhaar. Some lights were still off cause it was early.

At 12:00 all the workers went to the cantine to wait for the food delivery, suprising I see drinks aswell. Suprised about drinks? Yeah I saw beer botlles aswell, I haven't seen that in a while in a factory cantine. We all gathered around and within twenty minutes the food bags came on a forklift, lol! I remembered that a fellow worker told me yesterday that the food prolly won't be that much, "Be sure to prepair dinner tonight," he told me this morning, lol. But the food what they brought was pretty much. Everyone got a plate covered with  aluminium foil with there name on it, plus  a little box with salad and one bread roll. 

Chopped chickenbreast, sliced baken potatoes, and salad.

I ordered chicken, I opened the aluminium foil and saw chicken covered in sauce and sliced baked potatoes, nice! It tasted good, it was for sure pretty much I was stuffed afterwards. I wasn't the only one who was stuffed. Some guys and even the Boss offered me a beer, but I don't like drinking beer in the daytime,  it gets me tired and full, a beer is nice in the evening, when you don't have to go anywhere afterwards, lol. It was a 'okay' time in the cantine, the Boss came sitting next to me for a little while. She asked me a few things about what I'm gonna do in the vacation time, I answered her.The Boss gave a speech aswell, that was a nice experience too. I hope I can stay with this company next year, that would be so great!

The german bread I got from Slettenhaar.

Around 1:30 some workers headed home, I thought it was time to go too. I wished them all a nice Christmas and left, the Boss gave me a nice gift, it was a huge German bread, also known as 'stollen.' ( As tollen is a loaf shaped cake containing dried fruit, and covered with sugar, powdered sugar or icing sugar. The cake is usually made with chopped candied fruit and/or dried fruit, nuts and spices.) Everyone got a German bread ofcource, it's pretty big I think I will cut it in half and give the other half away. First I thought of my neighbor, hmmm, second thought was Humanitas. I think I will give the other half to the crew of Humanitas yes. Humanitas did alot for me and I even didn't gave a big thank you, so there. I'm sure they will like it. 
 

One half for me and the other half for Humanitas.

Vacation time!


Two weeks of vacation, I like to work, I like to do things, but two weeks off can be nice too. I totally have no plans for Christmas, they will come and I will just see what I do. Christmas came quick and I think it will pass quick too, sucks a bit though to be alone but hey, I knew this lonley feeling would come months before Christmas, I'm prepaired! On the 30th of December I will travel to London! I hope it will be a great journey with lots of fun and lots of sight seeings, I'm waiting and waiting and waiting for the confirming mail from the travel agency they want to send me. On the mail there's the last confirming plus the time of the traveling, ect, ect. A week before the 30th I should get the mail said the agency, I know it's not a week yet but, please, HURRY UP!!


This week will be surely busy aswell, there's still two Christmas dinners on my schedule. Tomorrow a little visit to the local radio station in this city. I sent the them a mail asking for vollunteer work, a guy replied, I'm invited tomorrow at 7:30 om, yay and a little eek! Thursday I will be a whole day with my old Boss, I will be working half a day at Reha and then in the afternoon there's the Reha Christmas brunch. I emailed my old Boss asking him if I can help out with cleaning or perhaps another duty, why? Just, I thought it would be nice to have a little Reha reunion. Hold on! Wait..... Do you here that? The water in my waterkettle is boiling, it's coffee time!
