Heading Off

Munni off to scout out the news in the neighbourhood.

It's gone back to being really hot again, as you might have guessed from the blue sky.

I had planned to work a bit later today but when it's 28°C at your desk, your brain functions differently.  And I had just spent 2 hours translating a powerpoint document from really technically specific Deutsch into really technically specific Englisch, I was ready to do anything more technical than tie my shoelaces.

I'm not sure how long I've been functioning at the level where I don't translate things people say anymore, I just understand what's being said and can react appropriately.  But going back to that "here's a phrase in German, how do I translate that into Englisch?" is absolutely exhausting.

And working with PowerPoint is just no fun at all.  "OK, I'll just cut and paste this bit of text... Oh look, it changed the font, the font size and the font colour.  Again."

Powerpoint should be banned.  Forever.  I've lost count of the number of presentations I've sat through where the presenter reads their own slides because I'm too stupid to be able to read them myself.

And the small cat is now tucked in behind me on my chair, that is my cue to say "Tschüss und schönen Abend" (bye and have a lovely evening).
