Sorry, totally overwhelmed.
Aug. 19th, 2010 12:12 am(New city, new internship, new flat with whole bunch of frighteningly young new people - between ten and sixteen years younger than me.)
But, Happy, Much-Belated Birthday to All You Lovely August People here! @ Becka: Did you know Owlbears are a sports team now? :D
Sorry I'm so late. Sorry I'm still not e-mailing nor reading LJ. I underestimated how overwhelmed I'd be by the new internship and all. I only managed to make myself install my mail program a couple of days ago, and only today began sorting through the accumulated several thousand mails in the various inboxes. On the plus side, the frighteningly young people scare me so much I'll probably hide in my room a lot (at least as long as I'm fortunate enough to have a room of my own; that may change), which means I may actually find the time to read LJ for real, sometime soon. (Sightseeing is pretty much out because the weather here's been crap since I arrived.)

(At my work we have three, well, interns I suppose for lack of a better word sent to us for extended, paid work experience by the Council and as the junior-slightly-better-than-an-intern-but-only-just admin person, I often end up "in charge" of giving them stuff to do. AND THEY'RE LIKE 12 YEARS OLD OR SOMETHING. Okay, not literally, but they are almost a decade younger than I am...)
ALSO OWLBEARS. I DISAPPROVE. THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING. I DIS. APPROVE. *folds arms and glares and heads off to buy an APPROPRIATE shirt, like one about gelatinous cubes...*
Auch herzlichen Glückwunsch!

Happy belated birthday! If you can give me your new postal address, I can try and have my infamous parcel delivered soon. Otherwise, if you think it's not safe to send it over to Hamburg, we'll just have to wait until you're back in Frankfurt in a few months.
*hugs more*
