1 pass head shave with the Headblade. Just a quick shave before my late shift...
Today I called my potential new work place for feedback. Lo and behold, I got the verbal commitment by the nursing service manager/head of nursing (= "Pflegedienstleitung" or PDL in german) that I can start there next year ๐ฅณ The "boss" of that nursing home is unfortunately still sick, so my written contract will have to wait until next week... But I can finally start to work on organising my seamless transition ๐ My parents as well as some coworkers who are in on my intentions are happy for me, albeit the latter are understandably sad that we'll part ways... Me too, but I need to do what's best for me and my career.
Celebrated the day with one of my favourite Tom Ford fragrances. Ombre Leather as well as its darker brother Tuscan Leather are my absolute top perfumes. If you're into rich leather scents that are very agreeable (instead of harsher offerings like e.g. Midnight Stag), I completely recommend those ๐๐ป
๐๐๐ Congratulations! ๐๐๐
Thank you very much ๐
Congratulations, well done!
and Ombrรฉ Leather is a great choice for celebrating this :)
Thanks DJ. I also got an email by them as some sort of written confirmation... This feels like a huge accomplishment for me ๐
Yeah, it definitely is a fragrance reserved for special occasions. I like how it starts smelling like the brand new leather Interieur of a new luxurious car and then develops into a spicier scent.
