... it's the waiting.
Twice this morning I went down to the bottom of our block of flats where the mailboxes are kept.
And both times my mailbox was empty.
Meanwhile I had e-mailed the new company telling them I was happy with the pdf of the contract they had sent and also mentioning that I have holiday in August (which I had forgot to mention before)
They replied that the holiday was not a problem.
Then I went off to lunch and, once again, checked my mailbox.
Big envelope was there.
With a big contract inside.
Lunch could wait (yes, really).
Signed the contract, went to the post office to post it, bought lunch (because it can't wait that long), then called my boss to tell him the good news.
He was very British about it (despite not being British in the slightest).
I have a nominal start date with the company of 1st August but am hoping I can bring that considerably forward. And I anticipate that I can end this contract by the end of next week.
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.
