My Job

For all those I talk to on a day to day basis, please ignore this note, as you've probably heard everything contained within more than once.

For those who don't live in Germany with me, I figured that it's been a while since my last blog post, and since nothing too interesting has happened lately, I'd talk about my internship.

That's right. I have an internship. In Germany. Be impressed.

Or not, because I'm basically an office girl. I work for a small Sprachschule in Munich, and do all the things that they need me to do. Eventually, that might mean doing creative things like writing newsletters, making language activities, and even teaching classes, but as of yet, the other intern that works there has been conveniently present whenever anything that requires a brain needs to be done, and I am left to make copies.

It's really okay with me, though. My boss/superviser is cool, as well as all the other people who work there. I also have now officially had three jobs, which means that I can now fill out all three blanks on job applications. And I get to practice my German a little (but only a little, since it's a Sprachschule and therefore everyone who works there is at least fluent in English and German).

I had a change in duties, though, since the Christmas season started. For the last three times I worked, I did nothing but stuff envelopes with the Christmas letters and flyers. No wait, that's not exactly true-- I stamped the envelopes, too.

My favorite part about my job, though, are the little perks. If I had known before they'd hired me that I was going to get access to so many cool things, I would have wet my pants in excitement. You see, there's an espresso machine at my work. I love espresso, but I always feel guilty buying expensive coffee drinks. So when I work, I always get to drink a latte or two. 

But that's not all-- there's also a fridge filled with mineral water, both still and sparkly! That I get to drink as much of as I like! And a cupboard filled with chocolate. I don't know if I'm supposed to eat the chocolate, but I usually eat a piece or two anyway.

Well, I have to leave now and go to Prague (traveling around Europe is also a part of my day-to-day life, suckas) so I will write more after the weekend. If you were ever wondering, though, what it's like to be me... now you know a little better.

Bis später!
