Wandering

[glenatron]

On Sunday I'm off for my first ever international work travel- I'll be spending Monday and Tuesday of next week in Freiburg working onsite with a client there. It's a little nervewracking to be going overseas to do my first installation with the customer present ( where possible we work remotely ) especially as I don't have more than a couple of words of german. Obviously the guys I'll be working with have good English but it feels rude to be going to someone else's country and not have a lot of their language to work with.

Freiburg looks like a nice town, though. It's a shame that I'll almost certainly be far too busy to see the place properly.

Working abroad

It can seem like an annoyance having to work a long way away, abroad or not, but it's a great opportunity for tons of new experiences. You'll love it.

Just ask them 'wie komme ich am besten zu krankenhaus?' if it all goes wrong.

Oder "kannst du eine stock sehen?"

NEVER say this:

"Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! ... Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!"

Yeah, partially because that doesn't actually mean anything and they'll think you're a nutter. ;)

PS. I hear Andrew Eldritch speaks good German so if you need a translator you should drop him a line.
