Good news, not so good news and delicious ice cream!

So, it appears that I'm not the best blogger!  LOL  However, I'm finally taking an evening to myself and I don't think I've had this time to myself in over a week.  So, yes.....life is busy!

It's Tuesday August 2nd and only 2 days remain in Germany and I head home to Seattle.  Would you believe that the sun and heat have finally made an appearance and it's warm today.  It feels good but I could certainly use a fan in my apartment.  Thank goodness there is a fan in my office!!!  It's a bit warm and I decided that the best option for dinner is ice cream!  I walked to the nearby village, yes that is village, not neighborhood, and went to the most popular ice cream shop and got two scoops on a cone.  Oh my gosh......delicious!!!  After the first two licks I was tempted to go back for a second cone.  It was the best moment of the day. 

Now for the not so good news of the day.  There was an announcement yesterday at T-Mobile in Bonn, Germany that there is a freeze on hiring and they are looking at a headcount reduction.  Being that I was considering applying for a position here, the timing just isn't working with me.  So thankfully, I still have a job back in Seattle and I'm in no rush to figure out what is next for me (assuming that the AT&T acquisition will take place in a matter of time).  So here I've been really thinking and stressing about figuring out whether I like it over here in Germany enough to move permanently and now I don't have to worry about it.  No decision necessary with the hiring freeze, so I feel less stressed about making up my mind.  Now to enjoy the last two days of my time here and to see friends before I hit the airport. 

In reality, it's all good news.  I believe that what is meant to be, will happen.  Fate....karma or whatever you want to call it!!   :)
