        Bleedin' carnival. Yesterday was Weiberfastnacht (he womans day where they they will cut yout tie off at work if you're wearing one, or pull your trousers down! An old fertility rite.) Everyone at work buggered off at 11:11 for drinks and then they had a big party at 15:00 in the main office with booze and fancy dress and music so I left at 13:00. A company in Löln desperately wants to talk to me for a contract there to fill in the rest of the week yet you can't get hold of anyone. They sent an SMS to call them on Thursday but no repy on the phone and sending an e-mail only gets an out of office until Tuesday so they'll have to wait until Friday now, so much for urgency!

        Did Rosenmontag once in Köln, freezing cold and all the pubs are packed full of drunken people but quite easy to pull

              I gave my brother Riedel glasses one Christmas.

                    Applying all the updates to my server that I haven't done since - I haven't a clue, but it's a long time. It's gonna be messy.

                    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
