Yes, that's right... This blog has come to an end...
At my last blogentry I was hoping for a Job in Ireland. But had a negative response in early January. But I had some more offers that I kept in mind and was pretty hopeful that I would get one of them.
But unfortunately it took another month and I was still unemployed.
In the middle of February I got another call from the agency in Ireland if I am still available and if I am still interested in jobs in Ireland. Of course I was and so they sent my CV off to different roles. But it seemed as if this wouldn't work out either.
On Valentines Day I went to get another Tattoo. A cross with a clef inside. Pretty rad!
Then I decided to go back to Germany by the end of the month so I could save the rent and wouldn't have too many expenses. So my Mom came to Barcelona with one of her friends and we started packing my stuff into boxes. This was done in one day. Then the company to ship my boxes wasn't able to come until the 04/05th of March. I should attend a job interview in Germany on the 6th. So if there would be difficulties I wouldn't be able to make it... Then we agreed that my Mom should come to Barcelona to help with the moving and I go ahead to Germany and attend the Interview.
But always expect the unexpected...
On the 20th of February I got a phonecall from the agency in Ireland if I remember the joboffer from december and if I would still be available and interested in the job. I said of course yes and so now I just had to get references. When I got those I sent them off to the agency and then I had to wait again... I think those were the weirdest 24 hours in my whole life...
So the next day I got a call from the agenca that I can have the role, starting on Monday...
Of course this would have been impossible to do. I asked if it can't be the 15th but they said or now or never...
So I asked for some time to think about it and I talked it through with my parents. They gave me an idea that if I ask them to start on the 1st of March it gives me 3 more days to organize and they don't loose too much time.
So I suggested it to them and they said yes. Lucky me!
The decision has been made... off to Ireland I go!
To Cork I go, to be exact...
That meant I had to pack my bags, get everything done with the unemployment agency, all other things that had to be cancelled... and so on..
And on the 29th of February I left Barcelona for good to start a new adventure in Cork.
From the 1st of March I start working for Apple in Finance.
But that is a new adventure of which I will tell at another place.
I had a great time the last 3.5 years in Barcelona. I have learned a lot, seen a lot, achieved a lot and made a lot of new friends that will always keep me attached to Barcelona and which make me come back there every now and then...
But for now I have to say:
Adeu Catalunya
Adios España ... Welcome to Ireland!
New adventure goes on here: http://carinasirelandandukadventure.blogspot.co.uk/
