Hi, I am Hans from Hamburg, Germany. Please excuse my sometimes likely horrific grammar, I am not a native speaker.

I don't have facebook or twitter, mainly because I think that its for simple people who can't divine the possible back-fire of attention-whoring under their real name on Facebook. I also use an old-school handy with graphic like a NES, which I mainly (correctly) justify with being a minimalist and hating most of the media and economy, but also with my personal preference for good food and drinks, instead of buying close to useless technique-stuff. I also don't have a car or a driving-license, and as long as I get laid at least once or twice a year, I won't put up any effort to only get my driving-license, in the first place.

I am slightly on the right side, politics-wise, but have never been extrem at all, except when I had to insult and scream at my turkish neighbours (incorrectly) before their two insufferable children moved out. Now, we chime together perfectly and sometimes ask each other for pepper or aluminium-foil or whatever.

I play poker and win, but now the police accuses me of money laundering for a small 4 figure amount (basically 2k+smurfing) and I'm not guilty....
Hence why I just got a new job in a call-center (20h/week only), where I pretty much exactly earn my welfare and stop being a maggot after my first half year of profitable poker-play (....). It doesnt look like I will get a much btter job anytime soon, because my CV looks heavily fancy with lots of dif jobs, including French Foreign Legion for 4 month and other even worse no-brainer jobs. I actually am designed industrial clerk, so I could work in any sales job, but since I don't intend to pay taxes, I will simply grind call-center 20h/week and poker for a year, then move to Thailand, Malta or whatever. Or, I will adjust my plans about 100 times within this year, while only my rough goal will stay the same. That would be typical for me, doing a lot of plans, then adjusting and changing and rinse repeat. Though, the grand goal stays the same. I want my own little farm within the next 10 years and grow my own food, have chicken and cows, then eat them and buy some new. Not yet sure in which country, though.

Do you now Dwight Schrute? You are a lot like him imo

^^ I just know the german version. (Called Stromberg, actually a really good blatant steal of the format) Is Dwight the freak on the bosu-ball or the key-character?

It's this guy

^^thank you for the compliment, I love that character
Thats Stromberg in the german version.
I first thought that it was Erni from the german cover


This is Ernie:



But this is our german actor in dwight's role:



I must admit that I have not yet watched the Office at all, but at least I saw Breaking Bad on english, season 1-4 within about 3 days, I think (no meth)

Had a good day playing poker and finished last game at 2:30 night-time. Felt pumped and flipped a coin to decide if I go to party on my own (after calling 3 friends already), but coin said no, so I will just get 2 beer from the gas-station and be happy with it. Saved a hundo, I think. Running good in flips, lately.

Had another job-interview for a call-center-job very close to my home today.
When I talked to the somewhat doped up but attractive woman who ran those interviews, I was asked why I just want 20h/week. I mentioned that I had small tax-free incidental earnings.... Of course, I had to explain online-poker and made it as short n simple as possible and answered her "but you can also lose?" question with rouhgly said "short-term=luck, mid-term=luck+skill, long-term=skill" and explained it with flipping a bias coin of 55/45, and the likely outcomes after 100, 1000 and 10k flips. She was an open book with her emotions so far, but I have not caught any moment of animosity or doubt or so in her face.
Expecting to get a call on Friday, then start on 15th or even earlier, as it sounds.

I know that this will be a sick grind, but within 2014, I will either have a good full-time-job or leave Germany to play poker somewhere else. I would prefer a good full-time-job, but it sometimes seems that there is more luck involved in getting a good job than playing poker...

Chickens and cows in Malta and esp in Thailand sound cute.

I believe that seeking jobs is more of a skill game than poker, though it has some variance (any variance is a just consequence of not knowing; but I acknowledge that I'm objectively bad at this game). But it seems that you adore gambling, as seen in flipping a coin between going and not going to the party (I sometimes do such flips too ), which is unnecessary. Ideally, social life should be within unconscious competence like opening AA32ds OTB in O8 (ofc mine isn't, though). Realise better that we're in more control over our lives than we tend to think.

Those were my $0.02 to let you know that you have one more subscriber.

I just signed my contract for 20h/week call-center, starting with 2day coaching on Monday.
I also had a job-interview in a temporary employment agency for Industrial-clerk (purchase-dep) today. The guy who interviewed me was at my age and my level, so it worked more than well. He seemed sceptical about putting me into the job he offered*. Then I told him that I intend to sign for a 20h/week call-center-job (at my appointement in about 3 hours), and he of course has been taken aback. Its simple math to do to see that I earn no more than welfare with 20h/week there, so I had to explain the poker-chose to him...
Then he told me about a job in a self-store-warehouse. The owner of that store is getting older, and wants to have more free-time and become a senior citizen in a few years. He described the job as totally laid back, mainly just being there as long as the complex isnt locked for the night, and making very few contracts or bring others to a termination. The job will likely be just 25 hours a week for a few years, but I will only be employeed by third party for a max of 3 month.
The fact that he said right after my poker-explanation is so nuts, I can't fully grasp that yet I will use my real-life ONE-TIME right here, right now!

I will keep close contact to the temp.-empl.-agent to get that self-store-job and become a full degen 4 life.

Feling a lot better, now that I am no longer dependent of (on?) welfare

I had my first day of coaching, and in the test that we all had to do at the end, we were asked what our 5 senses are, and what they do... That made up for 10 of the 33 possible points... that call-center-fun-house is a start-up from 2004, and both of the 2 coaches/interviewers I had were high as a kite, no joke. The ~35yo blond female was smiling us to death last week, and the jaw of the roughly 30yo guy who did the coaching today was working as if he had 3 bubble-gums in there. Ladies and gentleman, speed just got legal! I could easily get Medikinet (Adderral) myself, I am ADHS in every test, but imo, speed is for the weak and the very few % who seriously need it

That woman from the temp-epmloy.-agency (third party) told me I will work 12:30-16:30, so that I would be able to grind a good evening-session, but its actually 16:30-20:30, and I am late for my regular MTT-Schedule... Anyway, its going forward, and I appreciate it.

Tomorrow, I'll send details of my working hours to the guy with the self-store job, and also to an other temp.-employ.-agency, which will maybe hire me internal, as human resources manager (been there on Friday. get the job, if current hr manager gets his place to study), so that they know hwen IU am avaible for more job-interviews. Shouldnt be too hard with 20h/week, only. I would ofc prefer to do both of these jobs over the call-center. The second one would directly be full-time, though...

I have no idea if any of this thread is real or not but gl to you man.

^^I can asure you that its all sad but true.

So far, the job sucks and I dont have new info about the new jobs yet.
****ing lot of trouble with paper-stuff atm, and happy to have weekend now.
Go to the gym and then sleep 10 hours and grind alot of tournaments (for my standard) over the weekend.

On Monday, I get an answer regarding the self-store-job, since the responsible temp-empl-agent will be back from his holidays.



Today, I had yet another coaching (still Call-Center), and met all the mummy's who work the early shift again. One is around my age, brunette, and made a comment to me about a gift-coupon for a scoop of ice that we got, which came from the ice-cream-parlor next to our workplace (You HAVE TO use it, I mean...).
I felt like it would be rude to not hit on her right now, and asked her if she would like to have an ice after work (other location for coaching today, though).
She basically ignored me in front of 5-6 others, talked about smth else, so I hit on her again when we went back from our break, but she denied kindly, since she had to pick up her child from Kindergarten right after work...
The dynamics afterwards were amazing. An other blond single-mummy, sadly slightly less attractive, now started hitting on me pretty obviously, and first, brunette single-mum started hitting on some other dude pretty much right after.
People are so difficult to grasp, and neatness has a long rat-tail.

Finally weekend, and I'll squeeze in a work-out at the gym before I fall into bed today, and hopefully crush the pokerz this weekend after taking Friday off.

LOL, really. If this isn't destiny, I don't know what is:

I have to cancel my job, since the welfare-guys won't give me a paper that would allow the temp-employ-agency to get a bonus. If I would stay in work, I'd have to pay a 4 figure amount after 6 weeks...
Hahaha! I am singing:
"bye, bye crappy-ness, bye, bye, my job!..."

Funny thing is, I sold a parnter-card for 19,90€ at work, and today I got a letter from the bank, which closed my account due to the accusation of money laundering, that said:
"Some Telecomunication-company tried taking 19,90€, but couldn't..."
I got told, in person, that my new home TVand phone is free for 6 month. I didnt even get the service yet. We agreed to wait until September and he acutally teared the contract and said we do it again in September. What a sign of destiny, same price, sand same bastard-ways to sell.
I am out, **** you telecomunication-companies, go die in hell!
I will keep my 'spensive WLAN and prepaid handy till the day I day, thats for ****ing sure, you bastards!


Sorry for terrible grammar, I just started a session and rushed through this post.
