Stay Tuned For: Christina v. German Customer Service Reps, Round 200

August 28, 2006

So I picked up the memory and it doesn’t work. My computer boots up, recognizes there is more memory, waits five minutes, then crashes. It works fine once the new memory is removed.

Back in the BRD

August 18, 2006

I made it safely back to Potsdam and even had a fairly comfortable flight, in that it was only half full so I had an empty seat next to me. I also breezed through security at Dulles – I wasn’t even wanded! – which was a little worrisome. I unfortunately was not able to blog [...]

T-minus 5 hours and counting…

August 15, 2006

…until I board my flight for New York and by 8am CET tomorrow, I should be back in Germany. I’m looking forward to getting home to Rainer and Charlie, and actually, I’m looking forward just to be going back to Germany as well. I think if we ever moved back to the USA, I’d have [...]
