Lost in Torrent

Finally, I was  on the island Sylt. The beach I went to was a beautiful one next to a nudist beach. The weather was nice, not too hot or too cold and the water temperature was pleasant, not like the other times I went for a swim. One thing that happened was I lost my glasses in the water and the torrent of water took it away before I could get it back. So, I am next to a nudist beach and the first thing I do is lose my glasses. By now, the glasses could be anywhere in the seven seas. If by any chance you find my glasses in Tanna, Vanuatu, send me a message. It’s like a message in the bottle I send just with my glasses instead of a bottle and my glasses instead of a message.

The glasses were old and didn’t fit well. Just a few weeks ago, I played basketball and several times after I made a sudden move the glasses took off my face. The flying glasses weren’t the worst thing that happened to me during that game. 

Beside the lost glasses, it was a fun trip and I could extend my extremes by a hair's breadth. It was a lot of fun. I played frisbee and Hooverball. Unfortunately, my shoulders got a sun burn and my muscles become sore from Hooverball. So now, it hurts from inside and the outside. I was worried that without glasses I wouldn’t be able to play, but I did well, as far as I could tell. Nonetheless, I want to be prepared for the unforeseen. Therefore, I am going to buy some emergency contact lenses, you know, for the next time I’m close to a nudist beach and lose my glasses.  

It happened again!

Lately, I haven't posted anything. I followed my own guides and found a new job that keeps me busy. Probably, I will report more about the new job soon. Today, I'm going to talk about my office. You might have read how as a postdoc I was kept in a windowless basement that proved to be a good tornado shelter. Guests left always a comment. Like Greg and Hengameh, who after a visit made me watch office space and repeatedly asked if I also have a red stapler.
Now, that's over. The new office is awesome and there is nothing to be embarrassed about. See for yourself- visit my office next to Reeperbahn. I have finally windows- big windows. Windows from floor to ceiling from one corner to the next. From my desk, I have a view on several sites in Hamburg. Now, I enjoy the view and hope there will be no tornados.
