winter has hit full frontal. without me noticing of course because hey, i tend to miss things like weather reports.

so even though it had snowed all night long and in the morning when i got ready for work i still expected the roads to be clear. so i put on my heels and walked down the stairs, ready to walk to work. i should have turned around after a few meters when the first patches of snow stuck to the soles of my shoes forcing me to walk all weird. what did smart-small-town-girl do? right, i continued to walk. i must have looked very pathetic because with the snow and ice clinging to the soles of my feet made me slip and slide constantly. i wonder why i thought i could defy the laws of winter – as if the snow on the sidewalk would just melt away as soon as i am approaching…

when i had finally reached the tram it just got worse because the ice on my shoes didn’t allow me to stand straight, i just slid everywhere. go me!

for tomorrow i have learned my lesson and will put on my super awesome winter boots. they keep me warm until -30 celcius. with a windchill of -25 celcius (-5.8 F)  i really need that! and my winter coat stays home as well. i will sport a jacket worthy of a ski vacation. anything else does not keep me warm right now.

tomorrow you can read here how i met my new boss on the tram this morning. at 9:30am, a time when i should have been sitting at my desk for at least half an hour and not be on my way to work…
