Learn German with GermanPod101.com! You are in Germany, working with a wonderful company and you are loving your new job! The only downside to the job is that sometimes you take your work home.

You have boxes all over your living room floor, your cat chasing (and probably eating) foam peanuts, and a hooked up computer that will not start! You call a friend that is a computer whiz and he is nice enough to come over. When he enters your home, he replies in German, “Don’t you know anything about German outlets? You have to be German to plug anything in and have it work.” He laughs at his joke, but you are baffled at the craziness of it all. You have hooked up several computers before and have no clue why this one won’t work. You reply to your friend in German, “I am having no luck with technology since I’ve been here in Germany. Did you know I hung up on a customer today at work?!” Your friend laughs again, walks over to the computer, looks to make sure everything is plugged in, and flips the ‘on’ switch. Your computer boots up immediately. He raises his eyebrows at you. You are so confused at what has happened, and yell, “I am waging war against all technology while I’m in Germany!” Time for a drink.

One co-worker replies in German, “So I see you have survived the first part of the day with our boss.” You smile and reply back in German, “Yes, but I’m glad lunch has finally arrived to save me from the next task.” As the conversation continues, a pretty lady walks across the room catches your eye. One of the co-workers that joined you replies in German, “I see that the boss’s daughter has caught your attention.
