[Mr Sunshine]

Hey you two...while I think its nice for you to hook up in Munich.........start you own damn thread!  

[Mr Sunshine]

Oh my Aachen head.

[stefrrr]

You're just jealous because you didn't get to go to Munich.  

[Mr Sunshine]

Am I *that* transparent?    

[Ralf]

Am I *that* transparent?    

Ja, Munich's the best place in Germany: safest and most prosperous city in the country, top recreational offerings (e.g. Alps), and we have the Oktoberfest!  

[Ralf]

Yes! Wednesday or Thursday next week?

Wednesday I have night school, but Thursday would be fine. I'll send you a PM.

You are missing one key ingredient....and position at Microsoft in a mostly English office.

Munich is nice and is close to the Alps, but Hanseatic Hamburg, the bustling, vibrant seaport, is my favorite. Then comes Freiburg.

Did you get an offer?

[Mr Sunshine]

Did you get an offer?

I was told last Monday that they hope to get back to me next week as there are a couple of other people in the loop.  They also just opened up two other positions under a different hiring manager and I could have sworn I was getting interviewed for those positions based on the questions I was asked and the description of the positions.

So we will see.  I don't have high hopes because I felt like I bombed the interview.  Out of practice and little bit weiry caused me to not be totally on my game.

Ok, wait and see, but good luck anyway!

[Mr Sunshine]

The wait is starting to kill me....am I just being American?  

[Mr Sunshine]

Well...I didn't get the job.  They found someone with a bunch of experience in the exact technical area of the job.  Oh well....it was a great try.  There will be future opportunities.

Sorry to hear about that. "One door closes and another opens..."

[RBEmerson]

What he said.  

'Sides, there's a ton of snow on the ground here and even regular gas is up to 1.35-1.40€/liter at the moment - you're not missing much.  

Added: (sorry - that's the price for diesel, add 10 euro cents for regular and 20-30 cents for premium.  And it snowed about 3-4" last night and it's started up again, with maybe 1 -2" this afternoon.  Oh, yeah, and there's not much room for the plows to shove more snow off the streets - and this about an hour west of Frankfurt, where this amount of snow is not the norm.)

[Mr Sunshine]

Just so you guys know I'm not bummed or anything.  It was worth a shot.  Now time to go do the American thing and spend money.
