Hah! I've got a job!

[Haltickling]

After more than three years of unemployment, I finally found a small job at the call center of Munich's Tourist Information!

It's a part of the new social security program which incited a lot of protest in Germany. The payment sucks (€ 1.25/$ 1.60 per hour), but I get that in addition to my unemployment support, tax free, and including full insurance. Work is limited to 30 hours a week and the contract is restricted to six months.

But much more important for me is the fact that I've got something to do, not just sitting around and wasting time. It gives me hope, maybe I can even find a full-time job there if I do well. And it's in my favorite field: tourism.

Hey, working feels so good!

I am very glad for you, Hal, and I hope it will lead to something beyond the 6 months. 😀

Congratulations Hal!

We may disagree politically, but I'm glad to see your fortunes change. Great luck with the new position and it's even greater that you will be working in an industry you love. So much to be said for that!

Congratulations Hal!

But...when are you going to have time to write tickle stories now?? 😀

Thanks, my friends. I still have to find a new daily rhythm, but I guess that is simply a matter of time to get adapted to it. The colleagues are all nice elderly ladies, no temptation for tickling, so I can concetrate fully on the work... 😛

@ Daumantas: Most of my stories were written when I worked a lot more hours a week, so I guess that my new job isn't an obstacle for writing. Besides, my depressing situation during unemployment hampered my creativity considerably. I hope this will change now! 😎
