I’m on an ICE to Berlin (there for less than 24 hours for work) and the ONLy reason this trip is working is because I woke up my husband and had him drive me to Mannheim. All the S and Regio options were canceled or severely delayed. Screw DB.

Privileged complaint but it seems that the only family members that visit Europe do so with carry on only luggage. This is just highly inconvenient for me, someone who wishes they could bring stuff with them, especially with the breakdown of the postal service.

I had a minor surgery earlier this month and I traveled to a surgeon over an hour away for it because they had a qualification I couldn’t find locally and that only a handful of docs in Germany have. SO many people (including other Drs) have been confused why I traveled. Am I really that American?

It’s the first time in almost a decade where I’m working in a role impacted by the Q4 deal cycle. WOW everything got crazy this week.

We have been per du with the landlords son and I think we officially wish to switch back to Sie. I guess neither of this fully understands what this could mean but somehow it feels correct?

Found a recipe I wanted to make this weekend last night precisely 10 mins after the grocery store closed. Just made the first trip to the local milchautomat today in order to procure the missing item.

Got into a raised voice heated discussion with the landlords son during a showing today which I ended with, “Vielen Dank für Ihren Rat, ich habe jetzt verstanden wir sind dumm Ausländer.“ Errors are my own and I own them. 😡

The property we viewed today has a ton of potential but has a few drawbacks and needs a complete gut job.
We need to decide if it’s worth making a second visit with an architect.
Any tips for how to find a good one? Or recommendations if you’re local?

When thieves climbed to a second-floor window of the Louvre, grabbed jewels of staggering worth and descended to their getaway scooters, many in France were stunned and furious. But the German company that made the elevator saw a once-in-a-lifetime marketing opportunity. Read more: nyti.ms/477z9Lm

Because I’m on a posting spree: over the weekend we found out that the overpriced sale of our apartment fell through. This was in part because we refused to move out earlier than our 6 month notice. So we stay put for now, but they raised our rent to an eye watering sum. So we kinda look too . . .

I was just informed by my legal associates at Cards Against Humanity that our lawsuit against Elon Musk was successful but that my proceeds are non existent. I’m so pleased with my 2017 self for this glimmer of 2025 joy.

Annnd after spending 4 hours in our apartment yesterday doing ‘inspecitions’ and ‘repairs’ they sent a registered letter today increasing the rent significantly. Cowards.
I have already engaged the Mieterverein to review it.

Aaaaaaand we just heard that the whole sale *might* fall through because we refused to agree to an early departure date. I guess the never ending story continues.
Someone is VERY much overpaying. An apartment shouldn’t increase from 650ish to 860ish in 5 years.
We learned that Eigenbedarf can only happen after the Grundbuch is final.
Finally, they bribed us to leave in 4 months with 1 month rent payment 😂 way too low. We have a year+ ahead of us here!

They’re selling it. The potential new owner is trying to both bribe us and threaten us. We need to get set up with a lawyer now. Already contacted the legal insurance. FML.
