Business trip-

So I had to go away a couple of days on business.

I booked a hotel in Freiberg. Then I realized I was headed to Freiburg (in the black forest) not Freiberg near Dresden. That cost me about $40 to cancel the room.

I got on the train yesterday. When they came around to check tickets, the lady realized that my Bahn card had expired last week, so I had to pay full fare (not half). That was another $70 on the spot, doubling the cost of the trip.

I left my umbrella on the train. No worries, cheap Ikea.

I get to Freiburg and it looks like rain, so I borrow an umbrella.

I did have a Ganter Hefe Weissen last night. Drinking beer alone is about as fun as gouging your eyes out with a spoon.

This morning, the train arrived just as I got to the station. Two stations later I realize I left my borrowed umbrella at breakfast.

And to top it all off, my two projects in Freiburg are not working out.

I am ready to come home.

Ganter Hefe Weissen - Not very good.

Sounds like you need a good weekend. Maybe you'll get a couple umbrellas for your birthday?
