From bad to great to FUBAR

So … today, an ordinary day, I was at the office doing normal stuff (I was bore to death and was looking far a new job). Then the phone rings, it was a nice secretary from an outsourcing company (i had a job interview a couple of months ago). She asked me if I would be interested for a job (QA engineer) in Germany. After a couple of minutes talk we agreed that I’ll give her an exact answer when she’ll tell me more details.

Every thing was perfect … I have the necessary work experience, I am pretty fluent in English, the departure date was a bit tight but ok … I’ve talked to my (future) wife she was a bit sad that I my leave her for a while but she agreed that was for better to work there … all was great.

I started searching the net for an average salary for this job in Germany … FOUND IT … great shock … between 40k and 60k per year (compared to my current 5k/year).

I started daydreaming … that I would go there and earn enough money to live a more decent life … I would no longer live in a one room house … I could buy a more decent car … I could travel the world … to see it all …

After 2 hours of daydreaming the phone rings … the same nice secretary … she was more accurate information … it’s a position in telecommunications … GREAT (my inner voice screams) … and then the shock … departure date 15 September ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
