Default Sup?

Survived the flight back to the US. Had to spend the night sleeping on the tile floor of the Dublin airport as all the cushy couches in the restaurant area were taken. On the plus side, I had the entire row to myself on the flight from Dublin to LAX, and two of the inflight movies were Be Kind, Rewind and In Bruges (It was cool cause I knew where everything was taking place in that movie, and I did touch the tube of Jesus' blood h: )

I just had some pepsi, food from Trader Joes, and now I'm watching Comedy Central. Life feels surprisingly good

Glad to hear you survived it back. Isn't this earlier than you planned?

Can't wait for the plethora of photos.

Welcome back.

My day got off to a bad start as I had a flat tire. I'd recently lowered my tire pressures to 30psi (from around 35) in the hopes of avoiding a puncture as some ass broke a bottle in the street where I commonly drive. Yet a week later and I find a screw in my tire
On the plus side, I've found that mobil1 0w30 works a treat in my transmission

Kinda, but,

A) It's next to impossible to legally hired in the EU as a US citizen without familial ties
B) I got my old job back with a small raise (And they need me to start on the 2nd)
C) After being there, I could only realistically live in Germany or Ireland. I don't want to move to Ireland because I think there's probably going to be an economic shake there soon, and I could improve my employment prospects by taking German classes here, then getting hired BEFORE moving over. That being said, I'd probably move to Hamburg or Berlin.

I would LOVE to get back to Ireland. Absolutely gorgeous over there.
