There is a staircase at work that I both hate and love. I hate it because I have to use it to get around the different buildings and people are allowed to smoke in it.
*Side note - while indoor smoking is apparently banned in Germany, it does not seem to be strictly enforced anywhere other than Bavaria. Like seriously. When I complained that it was not okay for this to happen, I was told that the weather is so bad in Bremen (with the rain) that smokers complained it was discriminatory. I countered this by saying it snows like fuck in Munich, and if smokers there have to go outside in the negative degree weather, they can suck up the rain. Also, how can you discriminate against someone who chooses to smoke? Don't give me *it's an addiction* shit - I could be addicted to alcohol but you don't see me drinking at work *End rant*
Anyway, I love this staircase because it is marble with some really lovely fossils.
Beautiful nautilus - you can see the individual chambers!
And I figured out it's a nautilus and not an ammonite because ammonites have a ridge on their outer shell. There is a fossil that I think might be an ammonite but it isn't complete so it's hard for my inexperienced mind to decide
I'm actually a little upset that this one has a scratch right through it
I've got no idea what this is but I really like it.
Yes, I am a big nerd. BUT I LOVE IT!!!
