Well... It's been a full week since I arrived in Paris. Man, that was a fast week. So what got accomplished to make the transition work?
I was able to get our bank debit cards on Tuesday. That's a good thing because I now can access cash for personal use. Doesn't mean a whole lot yet because I'm still in a temporary living situation. But, there is something liberating about having your own cash in pocket. Now I have to track the details. Not one of my strong points.
To the best of my knowledge I still am not signed up for payroll. Supposedly tomorrow (Friday) they will address this issue for me. I certainly hope so as I hate to think I'm doing this for free.
Started to lay out my travel plans for the next 5-6 weeks. Planning 3 days in Madrid, 1 in Barcelona, 3 in Rome, another 4 or 5 in Milano/Bologna/Turin, 1 day in Switzerland and maybe 2 in Romania. If possible I will fit in 2 or 3 more visits (Greece, Israel, Saudi or who knows). Can't go to Algeria until my French visa clears. Before I know it I'll be home for Thanksgiving. Crazy huh! I'll be sure to blog it all.
Apartment move in next week!!!
I certainly hope so as I hate to think I'm doing this for free.
ReplyDeleteLOL!!!!!
I had lunch with Jill, Maggie and Donna today - it was great to see them.
I have to remember to have Scott follow your blog. I know he would enjoy it.
Oh, and while Jill is still in the states, I will mention that she should let your bank know the situation - as when Scott is overseas and uses his debit card - our account can get frozen while they investigate...
Fun reading your posts! I do not know how to set up a personal profile.
