Update

Once again it seems like it has been a while since my last post. One would think that being unemployed would leave me with all sorts of time to keep my blog updated but that hasn't been the case.

The job search is going well. I have 2 offers coming from 2 different companies in Ireland. I also have another interview for an American based company next week in Paris. I also received an email from Bosch requesting an interview but I think that I am going to decline that one. For the job at Bosch I would have to commute or move to Stuttgart. With any of the others I would be able to stay where I am and that is the most important thing to me.

I went to my last doctor appointment today. They tested me for all sorts of blood clotting disorders (factor 5, lupus etc..) and all were negative. So I am healthy and hopefully this blood clot business was a 1 time occurance.

Today I am going to try to hang curtains in my living room. I have had them for 4 months now so I think it about time that they were hung. Hopefully it goes better than the last time I attempted it. The last time was in the US and I had problems drilling the holes deep enough to accept the wall anchors. After drilling 8 holes in the wall to get 2 that worked I finally gave up and started gluing the anchors in place. Gorilla glue works wonders for this type of work. Again, hopefully this type of maneuver will not be needed this time.

My cat has turned into a cold blooded killer. In the past 2 weeks, he had killed and brought home 5 mice. Some were not entirely dead. I would have taken photos but that just seemed disgusting. I don't know why he has all of a sudden gone on a killing spree but I can only hope that it is short lived.

The last bit of exciting news is that I am getting a new refrigerator delivered tomorrow. I know, stop yourself from passing out at from extreme excitment. After living with my crap used refrigerator for the past 8 months that doesn't really keep anything much colder than room temperature, I finally got around to spending the €300 for a new one. The timing is great as the weather is warm enough that I can no longer store perishables outside. :-)
