Simon Marshall of Pilgrims (TM) gave a presentation on being a successful teacher. Tanja Gueckler took me there in her family car. Before that we had fish and mashed potatoes and jello (for my jaw) for lunch with her kids.
It was a day with a difference, spending time with people of like minds and differences, hearing what made them tick. There's a wealth of knowledge and resources at the Verein für Weiterbildung. It's wonderful. And now we're going to observe each other more, to learn from our colleagues when we can. Yay!
Gestern habe ich es genossen, mal ganz woanders zu Mittag zu essen. Die Tochter Marie bereitete Fischstäbchen und Kartoffelpuree vor. Die Mutter zeigte den Kindern, wo ich herkomme. Der eine Junge war dann so vertieft im Weltatlas, er kam zum Nachtisch nicht mehr. Und wir fuhren zusammen hin und her und lernten uns besser kennen.
Informationsfluß und Austausch sind wichtig unter KollegInnen. Es macht das Leben viel schöner.

Work/ Arbeit
My supervisors and colleagues have been great motivators. Each job I've had has been rewarding and good, even those that had their tough times.
Thanks to Aunt Sheila and Aunt Roma for my first paid employment. Thanks to the people at Eastern Airlines in Montego Bay, to Marsha at the Yale Cabaret and my waiting buddy Bruce. To the guys with the paper route, to Bill at American Bartending School, to the Irish bar where I worked, to the World Yacht folks, to the staff at Yale New Haven Hospital, to the New Mexico State Hospital people, to medical and nursing staff in Göttingen and Lübeck, to everyone at Grenada General, to the people at KMC, to Julian Shilling for hiring me, to the Check Bus team for the excellent working climate, to Prof Gutzwiller for supporting my doctoral thesis, to Jörg Püschel for his guidance, Regula Häne for her care, all the Panzerknacker colleagues at the PONS, the entire staff of the psychiatric ward and the rest of the Kantonspital Obwalden, all my colleagues at the KJPD Zürich, and everyone I worked with as a clown in Jamaica.
So many people, in so many places; a head count would easily exceed a thousand, but if I think of thanking even one tenth of them, I can easily up the count by 100. I am grateful for the cloud of goodwill that has encompassed all my working life. Hurray!
Arbeit macht frei? Kann sein. Die Arbeit hat mich auf einer besonderen Art und Weise erfüllt. Ich habe den Sinn des Lebens (teilweise) darin gespürt. Ich bin für jeden Job dankbar, den ich jemals gemacht habe und für die Menschen, die mir diese Arbeit ermöglichten.
