Just a small frog hopping from post to post. Because it may be Wednesday my Dudes!

Sometimes in German, sometimes in English.

  • My boss had a serious talk with my team lead that went something like “stop scheduling meetings that start or end directly to another scheduled event unless its something company-ruining urgent”.

    She is very considerate regarding other peoples time and always tries to leave at least 15 minutes between any meeting most of the time. She also demands a good reason and a short agenda for each meeting. If you cannot deliver this, she will not attend the meeting. On the other hand, “I feel lost and need to vent” is a valid reason for her.

    I think she has something like ADHD herself and knows how draining subsequent meetings are. I have great respect for her and her achievements.













  • I speak German and I think you got it right regarding that difficult-to-translate line. The line is kind of odd.

    My theory is that they just needed something to rhyme on Diskussion. The words Diskussion and lohnen do not rhyme exactly. But in German lyric it is a common stylistic choice to omit or shorten a word’s ending from -en to -n. So the rhyme is more like Diskussion - lohn.
