Seven and a half hours later…

I left home this morning at 6:30—actually a few minutes before that—and did not return home until just after two.

Today I practiced my future commute!

So it’s Monday and today I went to work at my new job for the first time—well, not really.

My House Warming Party is Officially… Delayed

My Comfortable Future Home.

As you know, I am moving to Berlin, with a new job starting on 1 July 2010 – a mere two weeks away!

While I had confidence before, I lack it now: I will not find an apartment to my liking in time for the start of my new job. […]
