***double the trouble now i'm crazy enough to have gotten a second job. i'm already never at home. today i got the 3rd flat tire in 3 weeks on my brand new(well new for me) bicycle. the first 2 times it was the back tire and now it's the front tire. trying to make sense of this nonsense doesn't make any sense. after i finished working for today, i went on a walk with the dog & ran into the hausmeister(the person who cares for the whole building) who was drinking in front of the kiosk out front. it seemed like she had already had a couple of beers because she was speaking relatively loud, whining about the hausverwaltung (the people who should fix things here at the house,who usually don't or don't want to). we had recently called the plumber to fix the toilett because it was overflooding. luckily enough they understood the urgency of the situation and sent a guy out. (that's another story in itself.) well, she claims she needs a plumber too because every morning her toilett smells like shit. but not only her shit...being on the ground floor, she says she's got everybody stinky shit. everybody from Mr. Friday (the lunatic from upstairs) to Mr. Knuller (who i've never heard of).
that's enough for the neigborhood treffpunkt.  ¶ 10:19 PM
