Still at home

I am still at home.

Incredible, after that many years, a lurking sickness has jumped out at me and struck me and now forces me to stay at home. Yes, this is what I already mentioned in the postings before. It means nothing of any importance happened here. Happens here.
I keep taking my medication, looking out of the window at the life unfolding in the street below, watching squirrels, and opening and closing the presentation file due next week.

Bored to Death

Breaking News:

PJS sitting at home 5th day in a row

Good afternoon everybody. As we speak, dramatic events unfurl at the site of PJS being at home the 5th day in a row by now. PJS is reported to have uttered a "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH GODD*** F***ING PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!" as he recovers from a massive onset of "the sneeze", also commonly known as Excruciating-Pain-Creating-Sudden-Jerk-Of-The-Trachea, which is especially painful for those afflicted with angina, which PJS still "cures and cures and cures with no end in sight", sources say.

Furthermore, PJS claims to be "bored to death", as he has run out of films to watch, and he has not yet made up his mind to screw up his presentation due next weekend any further - "I believe it (the presentation) is safer in the office than here [with me]", he is reported to say.

Having already finished lots of paperwork and tax return statements early Saturday, he is left to his own devices, or, more pragmatically, to the bad conscience arising from knowing his colleagues at work envy him fanatically, especially since he was tipped off to their conditions of being "too cowardly to call in sick" as well.

On a closing note, PJS wants it to be known that he "knows which sonofa***** passed [him] this sickness", obviously alluding to his workplace colleagues, and feebly shakes his scrawny fist at them, obviously appearing to him in fever visions.

Einbürgerungstest

Der vorläufige Fragebogen, den Hessen als Einbürgerungstest für Bewerber für die deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft verwenden will.

Ich wußte nicht einmal, daß es in Deutschland die Bundesländer sind, die diesen oder ähnliche Tests einmal durchführen dürften.

Bounce-O-Meter

Aimless surfing on the net led me to this site. It offers an insightful animation, probably helpful to women striving to avoid "permanent damage" (aka "resonance catastrophe"). But see for yourself...

However, I was told it (the motion) looks very fake. In the same lane, I got notified of another (probably much more realistic) notion:
The Steak & BJ Day.
