Just another day

September 29, 2006

Today, I got to know my dog walkin’ buddies better. There’s Joerg (the doctor-aura guy), who is actually an SAP expert. They apparently don’t make as much in Germany as in the US, I dated a guy in Richmond who was an SAP consultant and he had money coming out the wazoo. Anyways, Joerg is [...]

Expat meetup in Berlin area???

September 28, 2006

September 24, 2006

I think at some point in the last few months I have actually started to like living in Germany. Not that I didn’t ever “like” it before, but I haven’t been homesick in a while and I got reverse culture shock on my last trip to the US. I also find myself wanting to defend [...]

Nothing but phlegm

September 21, 2006

I’m currently sick sick sick. Ugh. I just spent the last 31 hours asleep (except for two half-awake steps outside to let Charlie pee. And Rainer’s in Tubingen. I’ve been mainlining Nyquil (known in Germany as Wick Medinait) since yesterday afternoon. I hate being sick.
