Moving to a high-rise apartment

I have all kinds of birds singing in my ears, sparrows, woodpeckers, parrots, chickens-you name it. It's like I have an orchestra. It's been seven years since I suffered from ear-ringing. I don't know how it started. Maybe it has something to do with a hectic enviroment where I worked for a health care products company. I belonged to a division that dealt with medical appliances for patients who suffered from pulmonary diseases.
I was in charge of maintaining that gadget. I had to visit at least four patients a day. Moreover I was on a 24-hour- beeper call for 10 days in a row. If we had complaints from patients, doctors, headnurses or whoever that the machine failed to work, we've got to straighten it out until everything is in order. In the end I burnt out and got depressed.
Presumably the sedatives and anti-depressants I obtained from the clinic must have had an influence on the onset of my tinnitus.
Other than tinnitus, I think I am in a state of health. I was able to give a talk at Toastmasters Meeting. I was in Germany five years ago. I enjoy eating healthy food, Natto, Tofu and Ramen every day. Recently I moved to a high-rise apartment. Now I live on the 20th floor. So far so good.
I hope the air pressure has no effect on my ear ringing.

Corona macht mich kompliziert

Gestern bin ich um 10 Uhr eingesclafen. Bei dem naechtlichen Aufwach habe ich im Internet eine E-Mails von meinen Freunde gesurft. Das hat mich erleichert. Danach habe ich lange Stunden geschlafen. genauer sagt, verschlafen. Nach dem Fruhstueck habe ich an dem Gottesdienst in der Union Church teilgehommen. Die Predige war langweilig. Ich habe nach dem Organ-Spiel Teinehmerinnen angeschaut. Dort entdeckte ich eine aetere, anstaendige Frau, die ich in der Gespraechsrunde kenngengelernt habe. Das hat mich gefreut.Allederdings kann ich mich mit ihr im Marz wegen der Corona-Pandemie nicht treffen Jetzt nehme ich einen Mittagsschlaf.

THE OVERNIGHT GUIDE TO PUBLIC SPEAKING

Drafting your speech You will never give a good speech if you don't first reduce everything to writing. That means every sentence and every word of every sentence. Your all important starting point is a fully-written text. Why? There are three reasons. 1). You must have the incentive to think the speech through word for word. 2).

Starting your draft 2. Adding further development 3. The first reading 4. The edit reading Preparing the delivery " Thank you, Martin, and good afternoon everyone.
