#weeklyreview 35/2026
Slightly under the weather this week. Guess I picket up some sort of summer flu from K2. But recovering already. Always weird to be sick in summer as you can’t really tell whether you’re sweating because of temperature or fever.
Due to this we eventually stayed in Berlin that weekend between week 34 and 35. Doesn’t happen that often anymore.
Took the time to walk around the city a little bit with K3.
Finally saw the newly renovated Mokka Milch Eis Bar at the Karl-Marx-Allee. Just from the outside though. It looks rather beautiful in my eyes.
Rest of the work week was sort of unspectacular. Depends on your viewpoint. Of course there was all sorts of cursing because of how complicated we managed to make the process of hosting a simple Web container. But that’s a different story. Guess that’s just the way how large companies operate. They have all sorts of constraints and requirements you don’t know from small companies and start-ups.
Burgers
This week the beer beauties met for burgers at The Bird again. So happy this place is still around and still delivers rather delicious burgers.
Think I’ve been there first time like 15 years ago or so.
Dorffest
On the weekend our village had its Dorffest. We don’t have this every year but this year our part of the village decided to do the organisation again.
What I love most about these is the community effort in organising it. Almost everyone in our village chips in in some sort and together it’s fun a quick. Putting up all the tents and decorations etc. usually just takes about 2 hrs. Same so for the cleaning up afterwards. Not even two hours and everything is almost pristine again. And while at it we have fun conversations and catch up with each other.
This year we had again some small competitions at the Dorffest. I managed to win the rubber boot throwing contest 😀
And of course I created a LinkedIN style posting about it:
🚀 Excited to share a major milestone in my personal growth journey. 🚀
Heute wurde ich beim Dorffest Groß Väter für Excellence in Stiefelweitwurf ausgezeichnet – mit einem disruptiven Ergebnis von 19,10m, das sämtliche internen Benchmarks gesprengt hat. 🥾📈
Dieser Erfolg ist kein Zufall, sondern das Resultat einer klaren Vision, iterativer Wurftechnik-Optimierung und cross-funktionaler Zusammenarbeit mit meinem Support-Netzwerk (Shoutout an die Family als strategische Stakeholder! 🙌).
Key Takeaways von diesem Wachstumssprung: 🔑 Trust the process 🔑 Embrace Failure als Learning-Opportunity (die ersten Würfe waren… suboptimal) 🔑 Ein starkes Team schafft nachhaltigen Impact
Bin unfassbar dankbar für dieses Recognition-Moment und freue mich auf die nächsten Challenges auf meiner Journey. Onwards and upwards! 🎯
