[Leica] old job back

[Carsten Bockermann <Carsten_Bockermann@compuserve.com>]

Ted,

>>I had a fabulous position, great salary, a private secretary and a
language
>>teacher at one time for 13 months, completely off the wall nice job.
>>However, every day I looked out the window and asked why myself why I was
>>there. What satisfaction was there in dictating a dozen letter a day,
>>attending boring meetings, (man that's when you really find out how many
>>stupid executives there are)! I started and finished at the same time,
ate
>>lunch at the same time, had weekends off, my own executive parking spot.

maybe you remember that I used to work for a company in South Carolina for
a year. Financially I was MUCH better off than I´m now, working in Germany
again (Note : this has nothing to do with Germany vs. the US, but with that
specific job). The problem was that I came home everyday with the feeling
that I didn´t really accomplish anything. Actually sometimes I thought that
it would have better to lie at the pool all day than squander time in
useless meetings.
Back at my old job, earning less money thanks to German tax rates :-( , I´m
a lot happier.

Carsten
