Wiser than me with Julia Louis-Dreyfus - she interviews a lot of senior famous ladies and talk about all the knowledge they gathered during their lives. I really like it. It is full of knowledge, humor, feelings, it is a privilege to learn from these women with such vast experiences.

Whatever I find on Radio Garden app.

Blondie in China - an Australian food vlogger in China. Boy do I crave some Chinese spicy food now.

Lots of people working as headless chickens, as always… The strange thing I can rant about is, that we have a strange colleague since forever, and she takes turns with whom to have conflicts with. I am pretty sure she has severe OCD, she opens doors only with tissue papers, she uses all the paper from the kitchens and bathrooms, she floods the toilets with so much paper, she uses all the soap, stuff like that. I don’t know how OCD works, because she is not especially a very clean person, it is somehow selective what she cleans. She sometimes comes with the same trousers day after day in the office.

If somebody brings cake or candy for the whole office, she takes all of it if the plates get to be unsupervised. She has an obsession with food. I saw one day on her desk a bag with at least 15 bread buns. They did not last long. She sometimes eats raw onion in the kitchen, imagine how that stinks. She farts in the office from what I heard. I don’t sit next to her, so I cannot confirm that, luckily.

Latest issue she developed is that she does not like light to come into the office, so there are conflicts with a colleague, because the others do not want to work in a bunker. There are a lot of tensions right now about this. She lies and acts like a victim with the managers. It is not the first conflict she has and that she is lying. And she is not a good developer, although she thinks she is superior to the others and treats people shit, she is a bully, especially with other women. Who knows what kind of trauma she lived in her life. Sometimes I am sorry for her, because she makes her life miserable. But she does make our life harder also, then I am not sorry for her anymore. She tried to bully me too, but I have zero tolerance for that behavior and I treated her harshly and she got the message. She avoids me now if possible.

It‘s shitty to have such a person in the office, everyone else is getting along very well. She clearly needs help, but nobody does anything. A few years ago, I left a self help book about OCD on her desk. Looks like it did not help.

Wicked. Like when you dream you woke up from a sleep. That happend to me twice in a loop.

So you imagined you were the child? Interesting.

Ha ha, true! I was imagining a boy.

Imagine the following: you see a room with a table and a chair in the middle. On top of the table there is a ball. A kid comes into the room, climbs the chair and tries to grab the ball that sits on the table. Did you finish imagining? I want you to answer for yourself now what was the color of the hair of the kid? What about of what he was wearing? Did you imagine these kind of details or you just imagined some concepts?

In my case I did see all the details and many more. My imagination is like a movie. I can imagine my future house with a lot of details inside. I can build it and rebuild it in my mind. Some people have problems to do that.

I am not Spanish, but I learnt it while leaving there some years ago. And I like languages, so I did my best to learn it as well as I can. Years later, I met my now Spanish husband while living in Germany. When I went first time with him to Spain, to meet the family, they were having a big family dinner.

Before eating, everyone just talked with the others in small groups, and I happened to be talking with my husband’s uncle( he is one of those that strayed to the right side of politics and likes to believe conspiracy theories and I think he does not like immigrants). Anyway, I was talking to him for a while, probably about living and working in Germany, I don’t remember.

But at some point, my now husband comes into the mini group and asks him:“So? What do you think of her Spanish, it‘s really good, right?“ He got auch a face of confusion, trying to make sense of the words, I had to laugh. He finally asked:“But…is she not Spanish?!“ Oh the satisfaction! He would be the kind of person saying that he would definitely detect someone outside of Spain. I do speak as they do in the north, so I use verb tenses differently than them. And also have some regional words from the north in my vocabulary. So I could fool him easier because of that.
