BIO

One day my parents decided that it will be the right time for me to see the light of the world.

Nobody asked me if I really want or not and so on March 27, 1960 it happens.... The first thing I noticed was a strong slap and I thought to myself:" Well, what a start" and I recognized that the following way would not be easy.

A few years later I heard such things like "the serious way of life will start soon" and that I am now "grown-up". But this was just one of all these small lies because in reality my nose didn´t even reach the tabletop. On small slates (yeah, at that time we had such things) and some lovely multicolored crayons I learned to write, read and count.

Afterwards I went to the secondery school where I learned a lot especially that the good marks changed into bad ones and that it is not so funny to got to a school only with boys so you got the feeling that you are missing something. The time went by and with the worst marks the school was finished. But now I know where I have to make a hole in a barrel so that in 1 minute 1o litre of water will run out. Without that knowledge I could hardly exist today.

The army was waiting for me but I have had other plans and so I decided to make alternative service.

After that followed the great question:" What can I do now ?"

So I went to vocational guidance and told a lady that I want to do something creative and at the time I want to work with people.

Even my father had the opinion that I was not strong enough to carry the banners during a demonstration I studied some kind of "Social work". After my experiences at school it was a little bit strange that now "adults" who were professors wanted to know my opinion and what I thing about some theories.

At the same time I worked every now and then in a home for children and after I finished my study it was a great luck that I could stay there and find a job. That was my work for the next 8 years.

Then I changed to the Department of Childrens´ and Young Peoples´ Affairs in a team that tried to help families when they have conflicts and believe that they could not live together anymore or for some time. During the years the duties changed and we had to do more in the direction of planning assistances for children and families.

10 years later: a meeting with our head of the department. In this meeting we wanted to talk about how we have to work together with the other departments . So we came into the room each of us with over hundred pages of analyses and he told us that he don´t need this group anymore. But at the same time he had some ideas for us….

So in July 2003 I changed to the IT-Coordination.

It really was not a good moment for that new job because 3 month ago, on March, 31, my girlfriend suddenly died, only a few doors away from my office.

And now I am waiting what kind of bad surprises and traps will come more in my life……
