During my 4 years in Germany, I never made it to Oktoberfest in Munich (77-81). I did make plans to go in '78 IIRC, but had to back out. That was the year a terrorist group planted a bomb outside the entrance, killing several Americans...it was the group I was going to go with.
Most of my weekends during the summer were spent driving up and down the Mosel River, looking for wine fests, and there were usually 2 or 3 to visit.
I'm ready to party this weekend...start a new job on Monday, just a month after being a casualty of a reorganization.
O/T, but I noticed a difference from past job hunts. Companies are going direct to Indeed and/or Linked In, bypassing staffing agencies. Second, CPA firms are losing business to companies bringing their tax work in house. The company I hired with created a new position for exactly that reason, they were getting dissatisfied with the turnaround on their tax work.
That one looks like a big tips individual.
