One Day at a Time..

Samstag, den 5. Oktober

      Hello all! Hope everyone has had a good day like me! Today was the first day back at work since five weeks, so it was a bittersweet day. I'm currently in the dish area at work which I thought would really suck but despite my expectations I was very pleased to find out that it would be a blast. The coworkers are all mainly from Africa and the Middle East but they're like one big family and I love it. I started at 8 in the morning and first thing we did was go take a small break to relax and talk for a little. This was the start of what would be actually a positive day. Halfway into my shift me and the other ,,Azubi'' were told we could go home at two, three hours earlier than planned. So we spent the rest of our shift pretty much just lolly gagging around work and trying to find something to keep us busy for the time being. I saw my last departments boss and greeted her, which she continued to tell me that I actually had some money from tips still in my drawer. Awesome! Now comes the stupid part, I got the envelope thinking it would only be small change in it so I ripped it in half rather than normally open it which come to find out was filled with 50€ in bills and 15€ in small change. Unfortunately, I ended up ripping the bills in half. Luckily, I taped them back and so far no issues. I got off and walked for a bit with Melina and talked about random things. It was nice to just get out with someone new and talk about absolutely nothing important. After that I met up with my good friend Daniel, and we talked about what was going on with me. In the end we decided that it is best for me to take things one day at a time. We then met up with a friend of his who recently moved to Neukolln here, named Kiki. We then went to Dolores, which is a Californian/Mexican restaurant here on Wittenbergplatz that has probably the best burritos ever! We took our time and just talked about work and school and other typical youthful topics. It was finally time for me to head home, but first I needed to go shopping. There is a Lidl about 500m from my doorstep so I went there. After about 25 minutes waiting in a line that had about 15 nationalities and about 10 different languages, I managed to finish my shopping for the evening. I proceeded to home not knowing that I had bad news waiting in my mailbox. Come to find out I owe the Work Agency 490€ because they helped with my deposit for my apartment. Well, I will have to see what I can do about that. Other than that, today was none the less than good. I hope to get some more interesting posts on here over the coming days. Stay tuned and as always feel free to comment.

mit freundlichen Grüßen,
