Time is a ticking, and the more it ticks the more it seems we have to do! At the moment we are in utter and complete confusion regarding whether or not we should deregister from Switzerland when we leave. There are about a million reasons for and against and anytime we start discussing it we get so caught up in the net of confusion that we just leave it having settled nothing. Is it worth (or even possible) to just slip off the radar for a year, quietly paying our (ridiculous) Swiss insurance premiums or do we deregister completely, forget about any Swiss insurance coverage and just go? Back and forth back and forth, we are going to have to make up our minds pretty soon…..
Also, Andi said to me yesterday “you want to take everything on the world trip” when I stopped in the shop to look at a tiny little first aid kit and I think that it is true....for some reason I think that we need to be really well prepared, as if we won't be able to find something important in another country....
what do you consider a travel “essential”??

Quitting Part 2
So, since my last post was talking about quitting, I might as well fill you in as to how it went.
I gave my notice last week to my boss, thinking that he would appreciate me giving him my notice two weeks earlier than was necessary. Wrong. He reacted completely different than I expected and even gave me the silent treatment in the days that followed (yes, my office resembles an Elementary school environment). During that time I was really feeling bad, I feel like I have worked my ass off for his department in the last year and a half, resulting in us working as an efficient little team, and this is what I get when I hand in my notice? The silent treatment? I should know by now not to expect office professionalism from some people, but instead it never fails to surprise me. Anyways, so for a few days I had this really bad feeling surrounding me until it hit me, HEY, I’m FREE!!! If he wants to wallow in self pity about me leaving let him do that, but I cannot let him bring me down! I have been looking forward to this day since January (ok, let’s be honest, since November 2008….) and I should enjoy it! This whole thing we’ve been talking about is really going to happen. We’re going.
Holy shit: We’re going!
