one of my good friends at work is leaving.

I am already not a huge fan of my job, but there are 3 people who help make it okay. 1 of those people is only in the office on occasion and now the other is leaving

(and the one who's here occasionally might be here even less if they end up moving to Seattle)

sorry Kalida.
emptiness you do get used to, but it's still there...
even having friends around there's still an empty hold in life due to a stupid ocean between me and someone.

Because the concierge just told me that on Sunday night two guys came into the building with a neighbor telling them they came to visit the 'tall blonde girl' in apartment 2.1 (my apartment, I am blonde, but average height). And after they got in the elevator with him, they mugged him.
Jesus Christ, I wasn't actually here when that happened but how glad am I now to be leaving today! I really hope the blonde girl thing was just a coincidence, and that they made that up and did not really mean me (I don't know anyone fitting that description so it would be really creepy if they had been talking about me)!

Because I got a letter from the DKMS (Deutsche Knochenmarkspenderdatei) two months ago already that I am a likely stem cell donor for a patient, my parents didn't recognize the letter though and so they didn't tell me. I will call on Monday and I hope they will tell me it's not too late yet, or that they have found a donor already. I may not turn out to be a match (they sent me a set to have blood drawn by a doctor to send in for more testing) but I would hate to think I was a match for someone and I wasn't in Germany when they tried to contact me.
(I had heard of people who had registered years ago and never heard anything, I only registered two years ago, so I didn't expect to hear from them and didn't bother to inform them of my temporary move abroad). Argh!

because back in May a package was delivered for my next door neighbour, I took it in, put it to the side did a thousand other things and forgot about it. I remember coming home a few days or so later and thinking of it but it wasn't there so I figured they'd been to pick it up. She rings the doorbell yesterday and it turns out they didn't collect it, it was a dress she ordered for 140€, I've searched the whole flat, cellar everywhere but can't find it, we've been doing so much sorting out etc. I'm starting to be convinced it was accidentally thrown out, which means I'm 140€ down when I can least afford it*, embarassed and very angry at myself. Oh and top things off its caused an argument between me and the man. Oh yeah, life's just fine and dandy at the moment.
*beginning of the week the man lost the monthly travelcard which cost 150€ so together we've managed to throw away 300€ in a week.

I was very happy today until 2 minutes ago when I lost my satellite signal in the middle of watching the third set of the final at Wimbledon. Shit, I'm pissed I've been looking forward to this match between Federer and Nadal all week.
Guess I will go and read some blogs and pray to the satellite gods and hope to get my signal back.
Edit: It just came back. My prayers were answered. Don't know why I lost it? It's not raining here or strong winds.
It's rain delay and they are showing a rerun of the doubles match of the Williams sisters.
According to the commentator they are expecting to resume play in about an hour as the rain is expected to clear.
Pas, I'm watching it on ESPN Sports.
Well I was watching it. I just lost the signal again. This has never happened before.
Looking at the BBC it looks like there's enough water there for the problem to be their end;-)

Because my ability to jinx people struck again, causing Roger Federer to lose. I think he is such an admirable sportsman and am absolutely distraught that he didn't get the chance to make history.

But he was as gracious in defeat as he is in victory.

Expaticus, are you saying you're not going to two TT events just because LiaB
sarcastically suggested you could sit outside at the curry night? What the heck does that have to do with wrong mindsets or demographics?? Or perhaps there's more to it and I am missing some sort of behind-the-scenes Frankfurt drama, in which case do tell cos I love a good scandal.
In any case, judging by all your posts on this website, I'd have thought you'd have a thicker skin. You know how the banter is around here; don't be such a big girl's blouse, just go on and have fun.

Well my satellite feed came back and I saw the rest of the match. Yes, he was gracious in defeat. Did you see the post match interview Federer did with John McEnroe? When I saw Federer cry he became all that more human to me and even engendered more respect from me when he was able to display his emotions for the world to see.
I love Federer (I would even allow him to put his shoes under my bed), but I was rooting all the way for Nadal and I'm extremely happy he won.
