Somehow I got punted some work before I even started but I was happy to do it since it was something I know in-and-out from my old job. Also today, the HR gal told me they couldn't get me a phone for a month. Now, normally, I would say oh ok, no problem then go back to my desk and IM everyone about how horrible it was. But today I stood up for myself and said it was not OK and something had to be figured out, I would go buy one if necessary. Maybe that was a little much, I even surprised myself but maybe I'm learning to look out for the Numero Uno? It's only been three days and I've grown so much! Not that it probably made a difference so I'm getting ready to hunker down and head back to 1995. She also seems a little reluctant about those German lessons I was assured so I guess I'll subscribe to a word-a-day website instead.
After work I headed to Alexanderplatz to look for an alarm. I stopped at a grocery store on the way for a snack and picked up some chips that are probably the German version of Sabor de Soledad and some goldbären and some peanut butter (not because I wanted it, but because I felt it was the right thing to do). And can you believe this, they took credit cards! Have I mentioned my distress over lack of credit card usage? How is this whole city turning down all those free points and miles and cash back? Anyway, I used my card on some snacks and it was fantastic. Then I ate the entire bag of goldbären which made me feel yucky so I ate the Sabor de Soledad to offset the sugar. You've all heard that story from me before.
