sometimes I get lucky - like yesterday: I was so sad already to miss out on my Oktoberfest job due to my projects in Bz, but my moment came and I took the chance to help out in 'my' shop for some 5 hours and as usual it was so much fun! It is just amazing what one can observe from this perspective and what different people come by. In general it is quite a homely atmosphere in the middle of all this chaos, made for a short chat or recommendation which leaves a smile on peoples' faces.
Just the way home is a bit awkward, lined with drunkards and all the mess they produce.. but still all that is covered up by the fact that one somehow belongs to this 'family' of workers behind the scenes of this huge party.
