Mir ist kal... heiss
Das Wetter ist warscheinlich zu heiss und das gefällt mir nicht. Or something. I've forgotten about two thirds of the German I learned during the last semester. I keep on talking about opening the books and rereading them but so far I've done absolutely nothing about it. Maybe tomorrow.
It's 1.30 a.m. and I have opened all of the 2 windows my apartment has and it's still too hot to go to sleep.
My computer is making a funny and slightly worrying sound, my poor poor fish are probably wondering why I'm trying to cook them and me - if I was a dog I'd be panting in the shade trying to keep my tongue off the ground.
If there are any good points, it's that I've been working half a day in an office learning all the computer stuff I need to know when I get to be the duty manager in a couple of weeks (the other half in the company of a huge-ass dish washer which has made my working hours somewhat tropical in terms of heat and humidity). The thing that worries me the most about it is what my colleagues are going to think about me when I get to play the boss for real - so far I have had only unofficial street credibility there mainly because I've been there longer than most of my co-workers. After my semi-managerial status is made official I don't know where exactly I stand in the pecking order. Somewhere in between, I guess, which could be a compared being between a rock and the proverbial hard place if the mythological beast called team spirit between us wasn't as good as it is. For now, at least. Who knows what'll happen next week. We have 15 workers and 1300 daily customers (it's the slow season) and my theory is that the place is functioning only because it doesn't know from where to start falling apart first.

EDIT, once again: This needs to be shared. Infamous "i´m not amused about the ´new´ apocalyptica" thread, which is about a guy who went to a Apocalyptica concert, and... read it yourselves. Be prepared to laugh out loud.
