For want of anything else to do since I finished my book and all my friends and relations are unavailable for texting, being either fast asleep thousands of miles away or teaching, I guess I will post an update.
You wouldn't think you could be at a job for 5 months and still be confused 2 out of 5 days each week, but that is the situation I have found myself in. Just when I think I've understood something, I find out it is going to be changed, or dropped, or that it only applies in special cases, none of which apply to us. Even more strange, everyone--including my boss--assures me that this is standard operating procedure at our company. She has even commented on how quickly I seem to be picking things up. (Insert ridiculous astonished emoji.)
Hannah finished her training program and promptly tossed every piece of paper related to it except for her diploma in the garbage. Now she is applying to go college in the fall.
I recently learned there is an American expat group at my company, so I went and had lunch with them yesterday. There was some talk about politics, but I managed to avoid a lot of it. The news the last couple of days has been making my heart race and bringing tears to my eyes, so I am not ready to delve into it just yet, especially with people I just met.
The lack of rain is starting to piss me off. I am not organized enough at the moment to ensure that my new plants are getting watered, and John has kindly been watering them for me when he can, and only slightly snarkily telling me about it. Now we've had two days of likely looking clouds turning out to be lies, and I catch myself cursing and muttering under my breath while walking outside, daring it to rain.
Nee in Germany feels like a nut, but not a coconut, because that shit is gross
