I struggled taking the decision between two alternative titles for this post.

Nr. 1: Lost in transition
Nr. 2: White collar pig

Maybe you can consider yourself lucky that I like pigs.

OMG – I travelled by train today, actually, I am still travelling this moment. And I will be doing so for quite a while. The reasons for the delay were a) technical problems of the train, b) change of technical configuration and hence need for instruction of the train driver, c) a police assignment in the rear end of the train, d) waiting for the second section of the train. I am very curious what will follow next. For me, this feels like a continuation of the recently finished strike by new means. In summary, this adds up to more than three hours delay on a less than five hour original schedule. And I will have minimum two hours to go. I am not amused.

While being stuck in Hamm, North-Rhine Westphalia, I wrote 1692 words.

This guy here is not impressed, neither by the train desaster nor by the word count:

P.S.: After two more hours waiting in nowhere-land due to waiting for delayed passengers, I added 899 words to today’s word count, which makes it 2591 in total 🙂
