Working in Germany

300920. Let me say right now, that I am going to change to format of my blog as of today, with the latest writings or ramblings being at the top of the page with older stuff at the bottom. It took a while to realise this but it will definitely improve your reading 🙂

I have been here since 2000. Have only changed flats once and feel OK with where I am. I lived in a flat that was “hinter de Mauer” (behind the wall) up on top of the hill in Böfingen and then moved to where I now live. 6 flats in the building, all with nice people in them. Great.
When I first came to Germany, I worked for a training company for a couple of years until the management and I had a disagreement and I was fired or left, I can’t exactly remember the circumstances now. Then I began to pick up bits of work from various companies and ….. off we go. Still here 17 years later. I have worked with a lot of big and small companies and private people who just wanted to improve their English or to get a better job. I think I am a pretty easy-to-get-along-with kind of guy and so I have only had a couple of groups that I didn’t get along with and then let them go and moved on.
I think that a car is essential for my work as I have to go to different location on the same ay and the buses, although pretty good, don’t get me to where I need to be quickly enough.
