A diary based on my latest attempts to get a job; this time in Munich. I'm an engineering graduate (and chartered engineer) with more than 10 years' experience in IT. Over five of these years have been spent in team leading and project management roles both in the UK and abroad.

Typing

You're probably now clearing your PC of clutter and getting comfortable, expecting to read months of my journal as I search for my next job.

But what about me? I have to write it.

On a near whim (well, as near as I get to a whim) today I bought an ergonomic keyboard, the Mircosoft NEK 4000 one.

So far it feels good, although it will take a bit of getting used to. It would be useless if I didn't touch-type though.

I bought the German version because, well, I'm in Germany and have to use umlauts (ä, ö, ü) a bit more than usual.

I'm buying it now because, realistically, I could be spending quite a while in my Munich flat, bashing away at a keyboard, applying for jobs. So, it may as well be a keyboard which doesn't cripple me.
