CEBIT travel(er)ing by Deutsche Bundesbahn (sucks)
We ar writing the year 2008 March the 5th. I am underway travveling on hyperspeed by deutsche bahn to the CEBIT 2008 universe….
CEBIT 2008 the world greatest computer fair as you can here it all over the aether….
Steve Balmer, our Chancellor Mrs. Merkel, Volker Weber (VOWE.net)
and many other beeing there..
So am I.
I started my journey at 5:30 AM at home to take a 40 minutes drive to Würzburg train station
Everything arranged by the secretary so nothing could go wrong?
Nothing at all?
You might think that signs leading to a parking are realy ment that you park there??
Hmmmmm ok, i am german and i am bound and used to rules and regulations…..
traffic signs that leed you to certain locations are ment to be followed…..
So i obeyed the rules and i was a good german following the “signs”.
I should not have done that……
Sigh… I went to some service personal at the “Bahnhof” and asked how that reserved parking works…..
well one would expect that everything is arraged they just tell you…. ok go hiere and there….
NO…
I was told i was parking in the wrong “Parkhaus”. Ok i did follow the signs… but i was wrong. Hang on. Something is wrong here ![]()
Shouldnt i be following rules and signs cause i am a good german??
Well well…. i got told where i am parking i will have to pay! OK i already did so where is the point paying again. I started aruing, cause this is totaly missleding with the signs. There was no “reserved parking” sign here!
OK….. my temper went down a bit, just to be braught right back to the top ![]()
The reserved seats in the train where gone.. just because somebody decided to swap the train.. hm where is the point reserving seats if they are not reserved anymore? and why pay?
So i was sitting in some tight seat, no table no powerplug to get the thinkpad (ohhh yes i would love to hyve a mac boock pro, if you have a spare one i will give you my mailing adress).
Listening to Keith Urban on my IPOD….
At least the sun was comming up and lightneed up my badly started day a little bit ![]()
I will continue on my way back home tonight if and when i am able to load my thinkpad (anyone out there who has a macbook present for me:-)
So bye for now.
