There are a couple of things I figured I'd take care of after I was settled in Europe, not running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to make sure everything was squared away before I left, but instead have let fester, to my detriment. One of the pending tasks was to put money into a Scottrade account I'd opened, so that my personal fortune, made from hush money paid to me by the former CEO of my company, would earn better than 0.5% or whatever the banks pay for checking. I let so much time pass by that not only did I lose out on all that income, but Scottrade closed the damn account because I hadn't funded it.
But the more significant thing for you, dear reader, is that I completely failed to check on how my blog in its temporary home was doing. And what a sorry state I left it in, as I just found out: with all internal links as full URLs pointing to my blog's regular home, nothing but the front page, with a mere two entries (neither of which mentioned anything about my expatriation) was accessible (and the styling was also missing!)
I regret not being able to keep the blog up to date with all my exciting adventures in Deutschland in real time, as it were; I am now at the point where, every time someone at my European workplace sees me, it's "I heard you're leaving us". Anyway, I have now, once again, made my increasingly irrelevant blog available to the world.
