--- Quote from: Penthesilea on December 02, 2013, 03:15:56 pm ---Today I got word from my employer. I will work 16 hours per week in two full days. I'm happy with that. 16 hrs equals a 40% job. The money is not much less than in a half-time job, but I have three free days (additionally to the weekend). Working only two out of seven days is a luxury for sure. :D
And guess what? I haven't worked a single day yet, but am already planning on how to spend the money! ;D :laugh:

Nah, I would never spend money I don't have yet. So planning was the wrong word choice. I'm rather weighing different options, setting priorities and dreaming. I won't earn too much (you never do in social work ::)), but a 100% of it will be additional money. That's the nice thing about it. :)

Happy Nikolaus-Day!
Dec. 6th is Nikolaus in Germany and some other European countries. The children put their boots in front of the door on the evening before, and Nikolaus puts a little surprise in their boots over night. Traditionally it's some tangerines, nuts and sweets, plus a small present.
St. Nikolaus is a historical figure (Bishop of Myra) and the predecessor of your Santa Claus. And I guess your tradition of hanging Christmas stockings (which we don't do) comes from our tradition to put boots outside since they do look more like boots than like stockings.
Our front door this morning:
