My first real out of country assignment. And most probably the last while working for my current company. Here I am in dusseldorf working my little bum off to do something ever so boring but most probably career making :) albeit do I want to be renowned for being the world specialist in billing? Hmm maybe not! One thing I have determined about Germany is the boys are very Erm well... Passive... Btm... Whatever you call it. Hardly any of them will chat to you and you have to be the one to start the conversations. I find this a little on the strange side considering the amount of things they are known for in the gay scene. If could just be that the city I am in is a bit on the passive side! Who knows. The office in working in is amazing. Very old. But huge! I did get a little scared in the 14th floor. But soon got over it. And I've just discovered the BA exec lounge is awesome :)))
