Dang.
I forgot to put something here about my business trip last Wednesday. It was supposed to be a supplier visit with me and two of my colleagues. One had to cancel and the other got sick the day before leaving yours truly to go alone. No problem except it was a two hour drive to a new part of Germany for me and the meeting would probably have to be conducted entirely in German with people I had never met before.
The first part was an easy fix. Navigation system to the rescue although I did have to call when I got there because the building numbers weren't so clear. German is hard enough without having to do it over the phone. Fortunately, I was sitting right in front of the "yellow building." As I expected, the suppliers, like me, were accustomed to a certain amount of English but they usually wrote it in emails so their was time to translate. "Fine, we'll do this in German." I say and off we go. Two and a half hours later and several cups of coffee, I think we got it covered.
On the way there, I got caught by a radar camera in the department car. No idea how they handle that but it shouldn't be a huge problem. Just a normal €20 ticket that I'll have to pay. I just hope they don't send the picture to verify. It's the shot I'm sure they get a lot of and while it probably never ceases to be funny nobody really wants it to be them. The big bright camera flash happened just as I was picking my nose.
