This day sucked.... 

The day started with junior having bad
mood (and when his normal "happy-go-lucky" persona turns
sour, it goes HARD). Followed by a total shitshow at work
(why is seemingly everyone completely unable to follow
written rules? WHY?!?) and culminated in a call from the
accounting of the retirement home fascility where my dad now
lives at. There are overdue payments and they threaten to
kick him out. Fuck... it turns out his pension doesn't cover
all of the costs and that he has now accumulated about 15 k
Euros of missing payments... Foxtrott Uniform Charly Kilo...

Well, that leads to me frantically calling the wellfare
department of the region i live in and trying to get
somebody on the phone to arrange... something. Of course,
3rd of October being a national holiday nobody was
available. So, a problem pushed toward next week.

At least the coming two days promise to be a bit of a little
escape: My wife, junior and i are going to the sealife
aquarium in Oberhausen and do a bit of a city trip. My
family originates from that area so we will do a bit
sightseeing in the "Pott" (the general area around the
industrial centre of Northrine Westfalia is known as the
"Ruhrpott") and stay a night at a hotel there. It will be
the first night for junior out of his home (i don't count
last years stint in Vietnam) and i am curious how it will
play out.
