Days like this…

You properbly know these days where everything you do doesn’t work out as planned. Sometimes that’s good, today it’s not entirely bad but the day just drags along slowly and ineffective. After failing to get my license plates I went to the workshop and all I managed in three hours was to establish that the Lambda Sensor of the car is not too bad (so I can sent back the Sensor which has been sent back already because somebody removed my name tag on the door and hasn’t arrived yet).

Contant change from too lean to too rich...

Constant change from too rich to to too lean… The Life of a Oxygen sensor somehow resembles my own so far. A constant up and down…

I wanted to build an adaptor for a spark plug to a compressor fitting (long story, it will be online soon) but didn’t find the right parts and got disappointed enough to stop. The rest of the time was standing around looking stupid and talking to the other guys.I went for a walk with a friend and told her what I wrote a few posts earlier and that I’m not feeling well at all. When we said goodbye she said something like “Hey, it was nice meeting you, maybe we can go for another walk in April”. Me: “April?” Yes, April I don’t have any time before that. Her home is just a two minute walk away from the workshop, I pass there almost every day when I’m in Hannover.

When I returned home one package with spare parts arrived (which I expected last week but which was sent back as well) but I’m not in the mood to return to the shop and do some actual work. Maybe I should just open a beer, turn on the TV and go to bed early.

Tomorrow is a new day, hopefully all packages will arrive and I can finally get the car running properbly and register it in my name. Let’s hope the best because I have to work at Wednesday…

Why am I starting a blog?

“I hate it here” — (Spider Jerusalem)

Rough words but true. I have difficulties to adjust to the world I’m living in. People are unkind, are too occupied by their job and seldom have the time to do fun things with me. There is always a “good” reason to not do stuff, for example because there is so much on the to do list that it would feel wrong to actually enjoy life. I’m fed up. Even desperate. I don’t want to end my days burnt out and alone. So I’m giving up big chunks of my privacy and I’m willing to share my thoughts and adventures with everybody who likes to read about them. First of all I hope to get in touch with people who think (and act) likewise. Online as well as in real life. Secondly I feel somehow obliged to share some stuff after I have read zillions of travel blogs, hacker sites and other entertaining stuff written by folks just like you and me.

So stay tuned, there is more to come. But for today I have to go to sleep because I have to work tomorrow. 31 working days before the adventure begins. Hopefully enough time to get the preparations for a (for me) completly new kind of travel done. As lucky as I am I switched to three working days a week so there is a chance…
