A School Night

Day 10

Well my last day of total freedom and as history repeats itself, when I start my new job tomorrow I will be working 10 straight days (in Berlin this weekend for business). It seems that I always enter a new company / position at the busiest time of the year!

I'm REALLY nervous and looking forward to getting through tomorrow to see what it's like. I'm really glad that I came a week and a half early to get settled and figure things out. For example, the garbage and recycling is so bizarre here. And if you don't do it correctly they will rifle through your garbage to get your name and send you a fine, but of course you can't read the letter you get because it's in German, so alas, I either show everyone my mail or I use translation Web sites. And the German to English translation doesn't always make sense either!

But otherwise I'm getting along fine. Thanks so much to the friends that have called me. Considering my family has not! Grrrrr.
