Hello everyone! I see new faces around the pub. Which is good! ~sonam seems a little awkward to the slow pace of the place ... ~bartender? A hot chocolate with spices, its been one of these days.

So, what happened today? Oh, well. Fighting my way through documentation. Assembly needs to be told in sufficient detail, how to produce the stuff that is actually producing my paycheck. So, of course I have to be nice to them. And I would, but working with MS-Word and a fairly horrible document management system doesn't help. Oh well, there will be better days again.

On the bright side, I received a very long awaited nerdy thing today. However, the learning curve is going to be steep, so I won't touch it today. It might break before it worked --- I'm good at breaking things :-)

~bartender serves a hot chocolate. Ah, thanks so much! Smudge is making an appearance. Since I don't fiddle with the new toy anyway, I don't mind him sitting on my lap and purring away. Good cat. Did Tiddles disappear? You seem more relaxed today. While I sit and stare a bit into the fire and the oncoming darkness outside, I let my mind wander. That part is important for me. I need these times. Therefore I don't mind the commute by train, even though it takes quite a bit longer than by car. I can wholeheartedly recommend some brain time "off" --- meaning no direct interaction with other minds. Let the movies in my head play, and all the whacky ideas make their appearance, they all pass in a little while. Maybe this is what meditation is about, let all them thoughts come and go. The go part is the important thing, I think.

So, when the tide of thoughts ebbs in a little while, I'll take the train home. Cheers!

I really enjoyed this. Public transportation for the win.
