Busy week so here's some random notes

This was a long week of working. I'm finally owning some responsibilities and it's interesting to be back in the learning seat. I want to do everything the right way but there just isn't time! My co-workers are awesome and just like I've said in New York 100 times, working late isn't so bad when you're doing it next to good people. Since I don't have anything exciting to share from my week, here are a few random notes that I've been meaning to interject:

- My apartment building composts. There is a garbage bin, four recycle bins, and a compost bin. Yay! I've always wanted to compost. I wonder if they take it somewhere or they use it directly on the garden in our courtyard. I wonder if I can work in the garden? For now, I will just focus on saving my banana peels and coffee grounds.

- How I Met Your Mother is the easiest dubbed show to understand on TV. I think it's because they talk slow and the plots are simple but if everyone talked like that I think I could survive without English

- A crime was committed on the 3rd floor of Stralauer Allee 6. My yogurt, which was in a tupperware container went missing! And so did the container! but it's not like I left it there for a week, it was the afternoon after I brought it in the morning. The next day my coworker Annette was a victim of the same crime. It's time for some office detective work.

- I have yet to encounter a straw of appropriate length. So the beverages are all smaller because they don't guzzle coffee, etc, like Americans do but the straws are all over a foot long. It's actually a little rediculous

 - I have located all of my desired foods except for baby carrots (only adult) and instant oatmeal (only the slow kind). I haven't found chocolate chips for baking but I also haven't looked that hard.

- The office puts out this nice tray of apples every week. What a nice treat!
