Episode 2459: "Work for all - only for me not"
When we last time our heroine, the single mother Barbara, left tried it straight, the third to book a holiday of the year. But as so often, she takes the daily lives of its adversities and uncomprehending colleagues.
Monday, 8:02.
Barbara enters the office. Here it is noticeable that the colleagues with the simple life (married mothers and children the irrelevant ones) are all already in the work. Well, yes. Who has a simple life and not so terribly pathetic to single parents, may also easily be at 6:30 at work. Barbara can not. Finally, it must itself ensure that her son Patrick in time for the bus is going. He is also only 10 1 / 2 years old, because you can not even expect that he can do it alone.
8:05.
Barbara has jacket, scarves and Tasche entledigt und drückt auf den Stromschalter ihres Rechners, ehe sie in die Küche geht, um dort ihre Tassen zu holen. Ja, sie braucht mehrere, schließlich will sie ja nicht jeden Tag in die Küche gehen müssen, um sich eine zu holen. Dummerweise sind nun aber alle vier Tassen draußen und ohne Tasse ist Kaffeetrinken schwierig. Scheppernderweise kommt sie also nach fünf Minuten wieder und muss feststellen, dass aufgrund der für das Wochenende angekündigten Wartungsarbeiten am Server ihr Rechner an war. Durch das vermeintliche Einschalten eben ist er nun also aus. Ärgerlich, aber kein Problem. Fahren wir den Rechner eben neu hoch, allerdings kann man das ja nicht unkommentiert lassen.
Barbara: Was on?
Steffi: So I was also involved.
Steffi is their seat neighbor and main communication partner because she as a married mother of two children still under the category of "not quite irrelevant" falls. In the category are "totally irrelevant" but its my opposite Mirco and sitting behind her, Michael, who still express their (exceptionally identical) views on the need to also.
Mirco: All computers were on.
Michael: Was it server update because that's always the case.
Such 'superfluous technical details, as always, Barbara met with silent ignorance. Such things could only remember people who have nothing else to do. Moreover, such an update is anyway only about every three weeks, so much too rare to get stuck in the mind of a poor single parents.
8:15
Meanwhile Barbara comes up with the Windows interface in front of him, as her phone rings. Here's to ISDN, it recognizes from the number on the display that it is a customer.
Barbara: Can take the plays who? I'm not registered.
Steffi and Michael do deals, Mirco is not there. Luckily, with Ilka (Mirco seatmate, mid-forties, slightly older than Barbara, childless, divorced, but unlike Barbara tightly allied to) a rescue. How can a customer expect at this time that it is already available? Finally, it should actually be there at 9 clock and would not be too late. That's the beauty of the flexitime scheme.
and now they make the most important. No start, not pertaining to the work programs required to organize coffee. Work without coffee is actually not. What kind of tea it is today anyway? Raspberry and blackberry and cherry-currant mixed.
Barbara: Today there across the orchard?
Steffi: I once all the remains from the boxes used.
Barbara: Oh ...
This statement draws a short thought process in our protagonists themselves. Finally, it takes but a cup of tea and turns to her workplace. In the editing program, one could indeed anyways. It touches their eyes, the blue cardboard folder in which your mail is today.
Barbara: That can probably not be ...
No reaction of matter whom. So again a bit clearer.
Barbara: Why I got quite so much mail?
Mirco: Not only you
false statement, but as already known, Mirco is the youngest in the team, as a man, as a non-union member and as a child-free four times irrelevant.
08:21
Almost Barbara would have forgot it, but fortunately she writes, important things on their (paid by the company) calendar. She quickly calls to Michael from the other group. Finally, the weekend flea market and one has to deny that anyone has as yet just what and Barbara That shall organize something.
08:38
Barbara puts down the phone. And now they drink the coffee quickly, before which is quite cold.
08:41
The Post is now no longer in a cardboard folder, but in a clear plastic on the side. As Ms babbles comes around the corner. Woman babbles is a "service assistant" and the responsibility to sort the mail, Document to be dependent and similar "support activities". This is probably that it now comes to Barbara and to her about the flea market last weekend and there purchased or acquired second-hand property as well as children over the next weekend (because of the so Barbara's on the phone) had discussed. Babbles woman can make to their name, that's for sure.
10:21
rings After a relatively quiet up to this morning Barbara's phone, but the screen shows a strange picture.
Barbara: Via in 2957?
Michael: I just want me to go make coffee, but whatever.
He picks up the conversation, which of his apparatus to Barbara was on running back. Is it right to expect. However, we do have to keep a good appearance.
Barbara: No, I was only thinking ...
But Michael and Barbara on the phone already saving for an explanation.
11:35
lunch. Finally time to relax.
12:10 Lunch break over. Barbara is the first time coffee. During the lunch break, they can not do that, there sure are all coffee machine is in the kitchen. Moreover, should really relax during the break and not coffee. Do something only the crazies like Michael and Steffi, but the work all through again and again for lunch. Own fault. On the other hand, have it so much easier in the evening, come home and have nothing to do even more, because that's all been done. 're Not single parents.
12:20
Michael: Oh, hello. Yes, your daughter is there, has only her phone yet converted. One moment, I continue to connect.
How convenient that Barbara's mother is now calling. It must still clarify with her that Barbara and Patrick this Sunday at the latest one clock at night must be at the airport to begin the first holiday travel this year.
12:33
That would be clarified - again. Although she has denied it several times with them, but these are pensioners. There is it is certainly not a mistake to remind again, ideally daily.
Barbara: Well, I think that's pretty bad so that I have rebooked the flight and I fly now instead of 6 to 3 must be even.
Steffi: But that's much better that way, but there have much more from the first day.
Barbara: But that got too hard to Patrick, the net but I sleep on the plane and then throughout the day and intolerable in the end I then but nothing of that day.
Steffi: Why should not sleep? Just let him stay awake longer, then the tire on its own.
married to the serious problems of a poor pathetic single parents just do not understand. Where will the Steffi know? Much further than Holland and Denmark (and drive) but it is not yet come with the children. Most of the drive yes but only in the Franconian Switzerland on a farm.
13:07
Barbara notes that Alessandra is not there. Well, that's not there, Barbara already knew, after all, the Rumanian-born sick for the past two weeks. But now the time to make Barbara a quick look at to Alessandra's desk. Here is the list mentioned in the will, who made that representation to her. With a glance she recognized that there are to do only the things they do not really like makes. So we turn quickly toward the printer, which conveniently just behind Alessandra's Place and act as if we had not seen anything because of the representation. The fact that Michael saw the need to not care. Childless male non-union members do not count (see above).
13:32
Alessandra has called on Michael and the boss, it is still on sick leave. Diagnosis: tinnitus, hearing loss at the close. Barbara must of course immediately told her friend Andrea. Andrea is way head of another subject of the same department. Does not matter, so that Alessandra's ruined anyway good reputation, this is just an information among friends.
16:02
Patrick calls. Now for the pathetic single parent begins the hardest part of the day. Finally, the boy is still only 10 1 / 2, since he can not own homework. Ergo Barbara sits there now, and tried with the two words of English, she could still remember from their school to help him. Steffi does not understand is that, of course. First, it is in Rhineland-Palatinate, which do indeed have an extra year until graduation as the Hessians. Second, their daughter is not relegated to a college, not on a bilingual elite high school with French as main language. Third, Steffi is married and thus not a guide anyway.
16:46
Barbara grabs in haste her stuff together and is on his way home. Your mail has not make it, which is still in the plastic sleeve on the side. Yes but you must bear with her, eventually she is a terribly pathetic single parents.
resemblance to actual persons or events could perhaps be very intentional ... I mean, you know me. I'm sneaky, evil and mean, aye? According to Thomas Hermanns
