Another day has passed in our hidden valley. Yvonne's opa (grandfather) turned 81 today. We drove up the street to his house for some cafe und torte (coffee and cake). He's retired now but loves to raise chickens, grow a garden and fish the local ponds. We spent a few hours sitting around a table in his driveway laughing and eating.
Something else happened today too.....I got a job! I now work for a company named "Dana". They specialize in upper-end interior door manufacturing for the European market. It's not a career, it's a job; a place to make some money while learning the language. More specifically, it's a factory job. Lots of hard work. Please wish me luck. My body is more equiped for office work! Yvonne translated my interview. It's unbelievable how quickly she can switch from one language to another. I only hope I can be half as good as her someday. Thanks Yvonne!

Congrats on the job! Good luck with that...Yvonne always impressed me with her language skills! Hope this is the beginning of great things to come your way! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Christie. I want the job to work out, but if my body doesn't hold up, I can always be a stay-at-home dad right?! Either way, life is good.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the job! I would not be surprised if you quickly learn the language, love the business, buy it in ten years and rule the world of European interior doors! Bill C.
ReplyDeleteHi Bill. I'd take over the company but thought I'd balance out the universe and become the "Governator" of Upper Austria instead!
ReplyDeleteGabe, you talk like you are old or something!! Trust me, you'll do fine...UNLESS your goal is to be a stay at home dad! LOL
