Trying out the new features

As you can probably tell if you've been here before, I've changed the template again.
Something darker for the dark season. Hm, that sounds scary. But you know what
I mean. I like the new features, such as "add page elements" etc. And I've found out
that ...@googlemail.com is the same as ...@gmail.com. At least in my case, both
addresses work. But what's this? There are no Zeilenumbrüche made automatically.
Strange. This sucks. I have to edit the post a thousand times until it fits the template. Argh.

Okay, do I have anything interesting to say? Lemme see ... Spent the weekend
packing more of my stuff into boxes. Didn't go to the movies on Friday. Had wanted
to see The Last Kiss with Zach Braff. Watched Scrubs on TV instead on Saturday
(new episodes started a couple of weeks ago).

Can't think when I'm hungry, as I am right this moment. So I'll finish this post quickly.
See you!

Edit: the automatic word wrapping is totally messed up. Don't really know what to do about it.
Edit #2: the sitemeter button is gone. Huh.

Christmas inferno ahead

And I mean both in the office and for me personally. Argh. At work, we have decided on a Christmas card that we’ll send out to our friends and partners (i.e. customers) and the cards are now being printed. I thought they’d arrive next week, but it takes much longer so they won’t arrive before Dec 4. Then we have to sign them and I’ll have to make about 200 address stickers. Yippie. We still haven’t decided on which gingerbread boxes we’re gonna send out. And who will have to put about 60 presents in boxes? No prizes for guessing. I hope it’s all gonna work out somehow. I still haven’t had a vacation in more than 6 months, which is my own fault, really. But I definitely need Monday Dec 11 off because that’s the day when my kitchen will be delivered (to my new apartment). Keep you’re fingers crossed for me.

Anyway, so much for the office part. For the private Christmas thing, I’m pretty clueless. Who to send cards to, which ones and when. Who to give a present and what. Argh. Haven’t been shopping in town for ages and haven’t been to the hairdresser for even longer. That’s what happens when you spend your weekends in furniture shops.

And there’s New Year’s, too. I don’t even want to think about it. My sister has made arrangements for herself, her boyfriend and her best friend and boyfriend. The 4 of them are going to go see some musical if I’m not mistaken. So I’ll basically be stuck with my parents. Hey-oh, how great. New Year’s depression straight ahead. Why do my friends have to live miles away?!

Blah. That’s that, please tune in again for the next fascinating edition of my spectacular life.

P.S.: I signed in with my Google account to switch to the new Blogger beta thing. But at the end of the process it said they'll send an e-mail to myusername@gmail.com. Problem is, my address is ...@googlemail.com, not gmail. I sense a disaster. If my blog miraculously disappears, you know why.

This year’s first snow

My stomach’s better so I went to the office as usual today. It’s now a quarter past 1 p.m. and it’s been snowing for about half an hour. The flakes are getting bigger by the minute. And the temperatures were below zero last night. So, the lovely and way too warm October is most definitely over. And guess who’s still driving around in a car that has summer tires? Right, that would be me. Damn. I’m not sure my dad can change tires. I wanted to do it with my sister this year, but she’s away on the weekend. Argh. I don’t want to have an accident. But it’s the same thing as last year: even if I want to go by public transport, I have to drive to the train station by car first. Why didn’t I move house earlier? Damn. And sorry about all my swearing.
