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.

Gloomy Friday

I didn't have any plans for Friday evening.

Wasn't in a great mood.

But then some friends were meeting up for curry (the food of choice for expats in Munich) and I went along.

The alcohol made me feel better as did the curry of course.

Whilst in the restaurant we noticed that one of the customers was being escorted by bodyguards. They had earpieces and microphones and wore suits (a rare sight when going out in Munich) which were all unbuttoned. That last observation is sinister: it means they were carrying.

It's a small restaurant which meant that if shooting started there could be a lot of collateral casualties.

When they left a waiter told us that the principal (the person being protected) was a Yugoslavian foreign minister. Not sure which former part of Yugoslavia he meant though.

Anyway that was the excitement for the day. And the evening was good.

Oh, and in the morning I had been told my job would end at the end of November.
