Getting Back to Normal
Believe it or not, I do actually have a job. And after all the shenanigans from May to July, even I almost forgot that fact. Getting back to a normal routine was not easy; as I write this from September, I can say it’s only now just starting to feel right. But as I returned and settled in, I was almost immediately handed a new Change Management project, creating a new site for a company’s intranet and filling it with videos, images, and text, all to help the employees accept their new cloud-file system. Why am I telling you this? Because these companies love my voice for some reason, and made me their spokesperson for the video after I wrote the script and storyboard. Listen to this:
Did you enjoy that? Life is funny sometimes. I came up with that “(almost) everywhere” line, too. This is why they pay me the middle class bucks. In any event, this was definitely a fun project, but honestly it wasn’t even finished until the beginning of September, but since it was given to me mid-July, I made the exception to boost this post with the final product.
But yeah, that one kept me busy. There was also one particularly great day a few days after my return, where me and Victoria went to see her niece perform in a play. The village isn’t far, but even in the 20 minute drive, the German landscape can be breathtaking. For privacy reasons and the fact that children can’t really consent to their pics being on the internet, I won’t show you the play itself, but I CAN show you the bbq sauce Vici’s sister had at her house afterwards when we all had bratwursts. And of course that landscape I was talking about:
They know people like me are here, and they think they need to make stuff like this to impress me. Wasn’t even me who bought this either, its all the Germans who see stuff like this and think I’ll love it. I mean, it wasn’t bad, but look at the hot dog buns on the table below. American flag with AMERICAN in all caps? really? 
only 15 minutes from my front door… insane 
These sunflowers don’t even know who Dark Brandon is, that’s the kind of peace we all need
The rest of July was surprisingly eventful. Went to an amusement park, had parties on the Rhein river, and oh yeah, had my graduation party! Celebrating a 4.0 Masters baby!
Just a walk through beautiful Mainz 
watching my buddy Kurt on the Rhein 
Teaching the Germans how to play beer-die. Don’t say I’m not an ambassador and representative of America’s best inventions and customs 
Taunus Wunderland! 
Trust me she cute. But honestly I’m cuter, which is why this photo had to make an appearance 
Greetings from the grad party! We had cocktails, beer, a whole cigarette section, there was a pool involved and some pulled pork as well. Hell, I even played some chess. Great day. 
Thanks for sticking in there, and see you tomorrow for my recap of the month of August. Would you believe me if I said there was ANOTHER wedding?
