Es saugt und bläst der Heinzelmann...
Yup, that's correct. You could also ask 'wie ist (denn) Ihr Passwort?' or, probably most peremptorily, 'Sagen Sie mir mal Ihr Passwort'.
So wie wenn die Leute am Flughafen den Behinderten die Schuld geben, dass das Flugzeug warten muss, obwohl der Begleitservice den Auftrag verpeilt hat (ganz schlimm: Flughafen Manchester).
Ich musste denen auch 4x ein Formular schicken. Wobei ich beim 4. Mal getikscht hab und nur noch geschrieben hab, wann die das schon bekommen haben. Hab auch bis heute nicht geschafft, bei denen ein rentenrelevantes Datum zu korrigieren. Bevor gestrichen wird, sollten die erstmal liefern müssen.
In federal government it's anything goes. 7.3, FA2, and P II Q are all options I've come across for (sub)departments.
I'm a lot more hazy on where to place people from 'parallel' authorities or even Länder authorities. Often obscure combinations of numbers and letters in the department abbreviations don't help either. Could be entirely different in the police though.
... and you may or may not be able to look them up on the internet. So for example we have a ministry above us and I know which department people that I work with come from, but only because they insist on having all emails sent to their department's address in addition to personal addresses. ...
I don't work in the police but for a federal authority. The answer: it depends. Within our authority we'd list it as 'title name, department'. Outside it would be 'title name (organisation)'. No hard and fast rule though. Organisational structures of parallel organisations are a bit obscure...
Wo sind denn die Leute, die das entschieden haben, her? Die Bezeichnungen sind nämlich regionaler, als die meisten Leute denken. Verwandtschaft im Rheinland wusste nicht, was pullern ist, während pipi für meine Brandenburger Ohren prätentiös klingt (obwohl ich weiß, dass es anderswo nicht so ist).
Meine Mutter (>80) regt sich maßlos über ne etwas ältere Bekannte auf, die "in dem Alter nichts mehr neues lernen" will. Ging in dem Fall um die Bedienung des Geldautomaten, aber man merkt, dass sich das bei der Bekannten nicht nur darauf beschränkt.
Man muss ja auch betrachten, wer die Drogen kauft, denn wo keine Nachfrage da auch kein Angebot. Ich bin eine deutsche Kartoffel und seh auch so aus und wurde im Görli von Dealern angesprochen. Ich seh also wie die Zielgruppe der Dealer aus.
... immigration and all decisions on naturalisation were solely at the discretion of your case manager. There were simply no conditions you could fulfill to have any entitlement to naturalisation or a better immigration status. This is why 3rd gen immigrants had no chance to become German back then.
...during the interviews. UK immigration is I think in general unhelpful and expensive, while German immigration is cheaper, but the helpfulness depends on the individuals working on your case and how racist (or not) they are. It's a holdover from the mid-00s. Until then many decisions...
I think in Germany it depends more on the country you're from. We had Chinese PhD students who were quizzed by officials on industrial espionage (at a public research institution, on projects that don't go anywhere near any industry!) and it was so bad that German colleagues decided to sit in...
And just like in the UK we have conservative party members (not just voters) who jump ship to the rightwing party. Frankly I'm scared what the future holds for both countries.
Yeah, but that's the problem in pretty much all countries with a rising right-wing party - the leading conservative parties don't understand that replicating rightwing policies will drive voters towards the original (the rightwing party) rather than the pale copy (the conservative party).
Although of course I wouldn't want to be an immigrant to Germany right now either. But from an egotistical point of view at least I'm not an immigrant to the UK anymore. (And I was more than once told that I'm one of the 'good' immigrants by those I'm-not-racist-but types).
Frankly I'm glad I've gone back to Germany. What the Tories are proposing is straight out of the AfD playbook. At least our Tory equivalents haven't gone that far yet. And I've been a German citizen since my birth, which gives me an entirely different level of security than (pre-)settlement.
That is probably a feature and not a bug in their view.
Ich wurde mal von einem besoffenen Briten in Heidelberg belästigt. Bei mir ansonsten auch nur kartoffeldeutsche Männer. Frag mich, wohin Herr Merz die abschieben will.
To be fair I did have to look up his name before posting.
Well, there's at least one less ever since Prof Chronotis flew off in his TARDIS.
Wenn parken auf der Berliner Stadtbahn nicht so schwierig wäre, könnte ich damit fast bis auf Arbeit fahren. Gut, fahren kann ich sie (noch) nicht, hab ja nur Führerschein Klasse B.
Nur sind die Hühner im Gegensatz zum Bären nicht KI-generiert.
Ah, but Erfurt train station is disappointing in that you can't see any of the interesting bits of Erfurt from it.
