I have officially moved into my new apartment. With the help of my parents, my brother and a friend, we were able to move everything in one day. It was a long day, but I'm glad we got it finished because it's pretty nasty out today. I went out this morning to pick up some food a few other things. It's pretty miserable outside. I should be more excited about being in my own apartment. I don't have to worry about the headache's that come with having roommates (four actually). I have all the privacy and freedom one could ask for. It kinda sucks that I won't be here for very long though.
My boss called me into his office on Friday. He more or less started off by asking "You're single, right?" I'm thinking to myself 'yeah, what of it?' After responding "yes" my boss goes on to tell me about a product design team that is being assembled for the development of a new product and how he would like me to be a part of it. Then he proceeds to tell me that I would need to move to Germany for 12-18 months. WHOAH!!! My first thought was 'I can't go to Germany, is this guy nuts? I just got a new apartment.' Then he tells me that the company would pay for an apartment in Germany, the early termination fee for my newly signed-for apartment here, and of course all the travel expenses. Not only that, but my salary would increase. After calling a few people I calmed down a little bit and decides that this is an amazing opportunity. A free ride to Germany for over a year! I'd be close to tons of mountains. Most notably would be the Dolomites.
I'm pretty hype about the whole trip. Now I just have to sit here and wait until it's time to leave. It probably won't be until the end of January or early February. Between now and then I have to figure out a few things. First, what I'm going to do with all my stuff. Most likely a big ass storage unit. Second, I'll have to learn to speak German mighty fast. I don't want the locals trying to pull one over on me.
