People. They are - yes.

Back from the annual office Martinsgansessen: that bird was pretty yummy, same for the Kartoffelklöße und the Rotkohl (even though the latter does not reach the one my Mama prepares). Cheerful chats with old(ish) colleagues were had at two different tables, too.

Speaking of workplace associations - I think I mentioned before that absolutely everybody should have an English office-mate. They make work life a lot more hilarious.

First, there's the phone conversation between sandynotlisa and his girlfriend in Brussels, where she interns - he started to laugh uncontrollably and immediately told me what had transpired:

gfnotsandy: By the way, I'll see my first Shakespeare play tonight! Very excited.
sandynotlisa: Sounds great. Which Shakespeare play are you going to see?
gfnotsandy: King Leon!

And then there's the story of this girl-pal of his, whose taste in men is not always...ideal:

galnotsandy: It's 10pm - you know, I'm getting hungry. How about dinner?
datenotsandy: Sure thing, babe.
datenotsandy: *goes, buys pack of crisps at the bar, and very proudly hands it to her*
