Guten Abend!
Ich habe bislang meine Rechnungen "ganz normal" gestellt, inkl. Umsatzsteuer im Inland bzw. mit Angabe der USt-ID-Nr für Kunden im Ausland. Da sich meine Umsätze zurzeit i

I try to use Ecosia (who donate for the protection of rain forests), but unfortunately it gives much less results than Google, so I usually end up searching with Google.
my favourite being a Pierre Larousse dictionnaire complet illustré from 1891 which I got for Christmas a few years ago. Not that I use it, but it's lovely. And it's got a stamp from a lib
I guess I asked the question on one of those bad typing days, when I'd need 2 of every key to give me a reasonable chance to get it right... I really go back a lot.
Why aren't my typos
I have a cheaper version of swopper-type chair, the Löffler Ergo. I think it's excellent. No more lower back pain! Well okay I go horse-riding as well, and that also helps to strengthen t

I believe I tend to be more smart-ass in English than in German. I think it's because the language lends itself more easily to puns, and I quite enjoy it.

My last one asked for a name sometime during initial configuration so it was called Mother after the ship's computer in Alien. I don't use the name in "conversation" though.
But I found the problem with experts is that they know too much and then they start asking questions about the context which I can't answer because I'm not an expert.
Today I do wish I had another job. Pretty much any other job. Translating texts on social security on a lazy, sluggish Sunday? Urgh.
Most other days, though, I would have replied no, nay,
I answered 'it depends', but the more I think about it, the more I realise that I pretty much stopped doing it altogether. (Except for one favourite client who usually sends perfect te
Referring to my question above about the secret shortcut, Steve B sent me a mail saying:

That solved my problem in Word 2007. What I'm wondering now is where that little check mark came from, since I certainly didn't put it there! Is there a secret shortcut I might have presse
aah yes, I think I know that one too. I call it the sometimes it will, sometimes it won't feature. Sometimes after pasting the little 'paste' icon will pop up, and by clicking on that I ca

Yes I check them, but less frequently and then I usually don't reply before Monday.
I think it's very important indeed to have weekends. It seems to be increasingly normal for people to
