So did I mention...

That I was moving to Munich? I didn't, did I? Well, here I am, nonetheless!

The story dates back to February of 2006. I was transferred to a new job on a project I had been with for several months. I hated this new job with such an intense passion that I regularly spent the bus ride home in tears. If I had to describe the job in a nutshell, I filed all day, every day. I did it on a swank Access database, but I filed and did statistics the whole time. *HATE*.

Anyway, this was a project with a foreign company, and soon after I started the position my foreign counterpart was promoted and I now worked with a perfectly lovely man, M. M smiled a lot and nodded in agreement to most of what I said. It was only later that I learned M couldn't understand the vast majority of what I was saying. Suffice it to say, however, he's picked up enough words since then to get me to move to Munich (cats in tow) and shack up with him!

The past year has been full of travel back and forth but we finally decided we'd had enough and needed to actually live together. We initially intended to live in Israel but for numerous reasons put that off for a bit and for at least the next couple of years we'll be Europe-based.

The past few months have been filled with preparations, including a month of intensive German lessons (and no, I still can't form a sentence), divesting myself of many of my possessions (given to various siblings/friends/relatives), taking apart my apartment and finding someone to take over my lease, moving my possessions into storage, and flying two reluctant cats.

I'll try to update this site a bit more often now with actual content rather than just pictures. After all, I actually have exciting and unclassified stuff going on with my life now! More on the flight in my next entry.
