--BELL--

Yakuzza Lethecus: How are you doing tonight ?
Wol Euler: tired, and somewhat frustrated
Yakuzza Lethecus: Why so ?
Wol Euler: after nearly two years of struggling for work, we now have two definite projects, a house to complete, and a meeting with a client about a 15000 sq metre factory on Monday
Yakuzza Lethecus: that sounds very good on first hand
Yakuzza Lethecus: factory does not sound creative tho
Yakuzza Lethecus: but i have no experience of course

Wol Euler: well, it's all what you make it -- and what the customer wants, of course
Wol Euler: it's not going to be a great work of art, but it might be highly profitable :)
Wol Euler: the problem is just that they are all *now*
Wol Euler: so for the next few weeks, no rest

Yakuzza Lethecus: I finished my courses and i need to find work, i think of that also as the only way to really learn the language even tho i understand 60-70 percent by now.
Yakuzza Lethecus: So i get most from context but with high error rate.
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: the rest will come with practice

Wol Euler: *only with practice

Yakuzza Lethecus: Do you speak english or german at work ?
Wol Euler: german
Wol Euler: with tiny bits of english and spanish :)
Wol Euler: for historical reasons

--BELL--

Wol Euler: we spent two years working on an hotel in Fuerteventura
Wol Euler: with a spanish guy to do translations, and we all picked up a few phrases from him
Wol Euler: which stick around fifteen years later
Yakuzza Lethecus: example :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: phrases sounds very circumstancial :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: if something goes wrong or special occations ?
Wol Euler: more social than architectural :) I've forgotten all the Spanish building vocabulary that I knew
Wol Euler: but we say "buenos dias" most days instead of "hallo"

Yakuzza Lethecus: zen will have Everly Brother's medley then Rock tunes
Yakuzza Lethecus: but i go to bed at 11
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: I will only go for a few minutes to say hello, then bed for me too
Wol Euler: working halftime both days this weekend :/
Yakuzza Lethecus: at least the factory is a longer project ?
Wol Euler: alas no, they are all rush jobs :/
Wol Euler: all want to be finished in 2015
Wol Euler: (factory in 2016 actually, but that is still a rush for this size
Yakuzza Lethecus: well at least i hope ur boss brings some ,,Teilchen" from a lokal bakery weekends :P

--BELL--

Yakuzza Lethecus: have a good weekend anyway :)
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: thank you, yaku, and the same to you and the family
Wol Euler: hugs to everyone
Yakuzza Lethecus: i will :)
