Getting excited

I feel like I'm on my way to a race. I can hardly wait and I'm tapping my feet with impatience. At the same time I'm scared stiff. And all this just because of the interview tomorrow.

If the interview goes well and I get the job I'll relocate from Saxony to Lower Saxony next month and will be working on a satellite which will be send into space this decade. Wahoo. Me in solar research, whoa, can this be true?

Well my Elle UK horoscope (Virgo) says tomorrow is my lucky day. So...

Good thing I won't have to choose between Super Job and Research Job (which is also super ;-), otherwise I wouldn't know what to do! Both jobs are international and with tons of personal developement possibilities.

Though the "town" where the research fascility is located is really small (pop. 7000), there is the positive side effect of beautiful landscape and relatively low rent. Super Job would be located in Stuttgart where the rents are skyhigh. And I do expect a certain standard when it comes to my home. And lets not forget one thing, I'll work 50 hrs or more per week so I need a nice place to retreat and feel safe. And the Lower Saxony city I would move too even has 50m swimming pool!!!! Hello triathlon training. Wahoo.


Except for that I already did my strength drills and have sore tummy muscles from yesterdays training. Good times.

I'm back on full cereal-hater-ship, since I read some information on what cereals do to my body (awful stuff, if you don't smoke because of your health you should stop eating cereals, potatoes and rice too).

And I'm still free from my nasal spray. Strike!

Hope your week goes well.

KEEP MOVING FORWARD!

Pentecost or WAIT: today is Monday? - Taste Bud Adventures Week 3

I think the title says all. We've got Pentecost or Whitsun in Germany now and today, MONDAY, is public holiday, so I lost track of time and didn't post the Taste Bud Adventures yesterday evening. SORRY.

To answer AZs question. Yes, I'm fine again, some cough here and there but except for that... AND what's even more important: I am FREE from my nasal spray addiction!! HUGE thanks to my GP / Homeopath! Since this worked the other stuff he did will work too and that means.... ahh, that's too private. Let's just say, he cleaned out some psychological issues of mine.
He also gave me homework, I had to read a book and I did it already and put its suggestions to work. So far, everything works out fine.

TASTE BUD ADVENTURES WEEK 3: Cheese without bread


Weird name, huh? Well, as you know I cut out bread from my diet, but I still like cheese, especially fresh creamy goats and sheeps milk cheese. And since this stuff needs something to go along with I came up with this "recipe".

"Ingredients"
1 pear or apple
your favourite creamy fresh cheese (Try "La Tur Alta Langa", yummy!)

Kitchen appliances:
knife, cutting board or plate

Preparation Time:
2 minutes

Meal:
Lunch or Dinner or as appetizer (depending on your hunger and the amounts of cheese and fruits)

Preparation:
1. Wash the fruit thoroughly.
2. Cut it in quarters or eighths (depending on the fruitsize), free it of the core and arange it with the cheese on the plate.
3. To eat smear some of the cheese on a piece of fruit.

Et voila.







Have a great new week.

KEEP MOVING FORWARD!!!

Super Job Application

Good morning.

It's done. I send out the application for the Super Job / Master study a few minutes ago. Before that I got up at 8 (on a Sunday morning!!!) to write the cover letter, which I made kind of like a check list.

1. finished bachelor studies with communication focus (in my case it's a german engineering diploma which is somewhere between bachelor and master of engineering)? Check
2. Experience in Racing? Check
3. project management experience? Check
.
.
.
And so on.

At 10 o'clock I arrived at my friends house to not only give him his guitar amp (his birthday present, finally (I had it stored for months, but somehow we didn't get around to meet)) but also to combine all the files in one PDF document.

I drove back home and send out the application. Now I'll start with the preparations for Wednesday interview. Solar research here I come. (NASA is shaking like a jelly, because they are so scared of my expertise in this field. LOL (No, the interview is not with the NASA.))

On the sport front. I do some strength drills over the day and that's about it. Depending on the weather I will take my bike to get to class from this week on.

Enjoy your weekends.

KEEP MOVING FORWARD!

19. Wave-Gothic-Meeting in Leipzig

You find the pics on my photography blog. The atmosphere in Leipzig is fantastic. I'm so happy to be here this weekend.

Believe it or not but the gone sickness seems to have had bad effects on my brain. I totally forgot to apply for Super Job. Luckily it's still posted on the wall, so I write my application now and send it out tomorrow.

Have a great weekend and believe in your dreams, then the Universe will deliver.

Keep moving forward!

Space time: 2010-05-26-1300

We write the year 2010. The earth, in a small town in Lower Saxony a female engineer sets out to change the future of the solar research. (Imagine the Star Trek theme playing in the background and a satellite rushing by...)

Yep, I've got an interview at a well known research fascility, for a job where I should organize a project (project assistent) in a field that, well, how to put it .... ;-P But hey they invited me, major accomplishment since they normally don't accept degrees made at universities of applied sciences! See, to write my last will with 15 and handing down my Star Trek Collection to the NASA was worth something! It got me this interview (only 17 years later, talk about coincidence). ;-)

So this weekend I'll divide my time between taking pictures of the Wave and Gothic festival in Leipzig and learning about solar research. Well, this makes up for an interesting mix, don't you think?!

Originally, Chris and I wanted to make a bike and photo tour to Röcken, where Friedrich Nietzsche was born. But since I still haven't fully recovered... (some coughs here and there, still hoarse)

In 2 hours I'll also know what the culprits for my health issues are. I'll get the results and the first treatment of my homeopathic screening.

Exciting times lie ahead.

A big Thank You to Marit (hilarious post btw) and Big Daddy Diesel and all others for your good wishes.

KEEP MOVING FORWARD!

Not fully recovered but slightly less cough attacks

Hey there,

I'm still on sick leave and I can't say I'm too mad about it, since I still have the snot and my right tonsil is still mad at me. Depending on how I feel tonight I'll go to my doc again tomorrow morning, since I don't see any reason to infect my classmates.

There aren't any tri-related news on my part, since I mainly sit at home, read, eat and sleep.

These days I'm interested in recovering and finding a new job, no sport goals, sorry pals.

Besides that my interest in the international economy is revived. Yesterday I found the really interesting website http://www.businessinsider.com/. Now I finally know what the BRIC and the MAVINS are, this is all quite interesting. I also like www.bundle.com a lot and the www.financialsamurai.com/, too.

Keep Moving Forward.

Still sick

Hey.

I'm still sick, so no training ride tomorrow and no other news today. New posts when I've halfway recovered.

Hope all of you are well.

Keep moving forward, even if you sneeze and cough
