I fail almost every Wednesday after the toilet
Since I’ve been working in this media house, I have been trying to secure an edition of the « Télécran » every week. This is actually child’s play, but I have my problems with it. In our editorial team there is a newspaper stand as is common at the kiosk. Ear and early in the morning, this is filled with the latest print products.
So actually I have a whole day to access. And yet it always happens to me that I come home in the evening and find when I put my work bag off that it didn’t work again. Then all missed opportunities of the day go through my head again.
On the way to the men’s toilet, I inevitably come very close to the newspaper stand.
Failure to this seemingly easy task already has a fixed process. On the way to the men’s toilet, I inevitably come very close to the newspaper stand. When I enter, I look at it and make a close look at thinking about this time. But if I don’t get other thoughts myself at the latest when washing your hands, I meet a colleague in the door with whom I change a few words. And it happened again.
Because my way out of the toilet usually leads to the right, the newspapers are left on the left. Out of sight. Maybe I should grab a magazine first, take it safely to my desk and only then continue the walk to the toilet.
Why I have ten different names
This Wednesday I went to the newspaper stand in the morning, searched and found no new « Télécran ». In exceptional cases, this only appears on Thursday. I write these lines on Wednesday afternoon. Did I think of the « Télécran » on Thursday? Press my fingers crossed.
From the life of the LW journalists
The “gazettchen” is an informal column in which the authors legally tell about their everyday experiences or even give an insight into their thoughts. This has a long tradition: On December 3, 1946, an opinion with the title « Today » appears for the first time at the top of the side left on the first local side in the « Luxemburger Word ». On January 13, 1971, the « Gazettchen », which has been extremely popular with readers, then became the « gazette », which has kept its Premium-Platz in Luxembourg’s top-class daily newspaper to this day and across all layout.
