Status bulletin
Over the last week I’ve been running around, trying to accomplish the following:
Prepare for an internal promotion competition, which took place last Monday
Prepare for a holiday in Germany, starting next Wednesday
Prepare for my sweetheart’s birthday, which is tomorrow
Get my desk cleared before I vanish off to Germany (this would be easier if people didn’t keep giving me more stuff to do)
The interview went quite well, I think, but I won’t find out how I did until after next Monday (after they interview the remaining candidates). My main concern is that I didn’t mumble. I’m a chronic mumbler. My boss even told me that however else I did, the one thing he wanted to hear was that I didn’t mumble.
I don’t think I mumbled. However, I did talk a lot with my hands. I should’ve sat on them. When I came out of the interview my hands were tingling, either from stress or from waving them around so much. Still, fingers crossed.

Best of luck with that! By the way, where in Germany are you going? You wouldn’t mind doing some reconnaissance work for my future invasion of Bavaria, would you? Thanks a mil!

We fly into Munich for four days, then another four days in Berlin. Can’t wait! I think Bavaria will feature, we’re going to try for that famous castle that Disney guy used.

Neuschwanstein Castle? My house!!! Munich is in Bavaria, by the way. It’s about a 2 hour or so train ride down to Füssen, and then outside the train station there’s a bus that goes to the village of Schwangau, and from there you can do your two castle tour - Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau (where Ludwig’s parents lived). It’s out of this world!!! The tickets are bought in the village and then you can walk up to Neuschwanstein or get a horse-drawn carriage! (very rose-mantic). You also must visit the Marienbrücke, the path to which continues up past Neuschwanstein.
I’m so jealous. And I’ve never been to Berlin but it’s on my list of places to see. Supposed to be fantastic!

AWVC uses the Markdown formatting system, a very simple way to format your comments. Whitespace is converted directly. Enclose a phrase with asterisks to italicise, and two asterisks (**) to embolden. A good introduction to the Markdown format is available here.
Cleverly, though, the preview is basically useless (it will just show what you've typed). If you want a real preview, enter your text into the Markdown Dingus, then re-enter it here.
