Indy’s BLOG – There is hope

Our journey might be finally over next week. Vil has three jobs where he just need to wait for the final decision. A funny situation. Long time nothing happened and now it seems that many things will happen next week.

S.D.S.C. – ORCL – AMS – 60K+ – 75% possibility

B.D.M. – C.-T. – BCN / Home office – 30K+ – 50% possibility

The Camera Guys – Frontline Tecnician – BCN – 32K+ – 75% possibiliy

Maybe next weekend we will be already somewhere else or it’s confirmed that we can stay in Barcelona.

Time will tell.

Indy’s BLOG – Job The video guys

Today Vil was invited to another interview for a position as a front line technician. Four hours, four different interviews with four different persons. The direct manager, the HR lady, the technician and finally the global operation manager.

Well, Vil thinks that the interview went quite well. He liked the way people presented themselves an their company. The product is solid and there is no question that Vil can support the product and be happy with the offered job.

The office would be in Barcelona, the team would five and Vil would be allowed to bring me with him to work.

GO FOR IT!

Indy’s BLOG – Again: “Too qualified!”

I hate it. Again Vil got a note that his CV is very impressive, but they think Vil’s qualification is way above the needed level and they are concerned that Vil won’t be happy with the position and get bored soon. Hmmmm, WTF? Vil is ok with it, even if the position is way below his qualifications, so why not you Mo******ers!?

Indy’s BLOG – On the road….

There are still very nice people out there and we are happy to meet them. While living in Badalona we met Jack, Teresa and Miguel. Jack is Indy’s best friend and they are very nice people which didn’t hesitate to offer us a place to sleep when they heard that we are in trouble. We can sleep on the floor of their Yoga studio. This is no long term arrangement, only for a few days, but most important we are safe for the moment.

This week Vil needs to go to Amsterdam for an interview as Senior Digital Sales Consultant, another application is still open and after all that there is another interview for a homeworking position for a big american company.

All in all it looks quite promising, but we already know that we can’t rely on a feeling, so we expect the worst and hope for the best.

 

Indy’s BLOG – Last Day Squatting  – “Full programm…”

Well, this day was interesting. We were physically threatened, had the police in the house, made a official statement, packed all stuff and finally we are out of the house.

What would you do if three f*****ing gypsies standing in front of you and threatening you? I don’t want to be misunderstood, normally I am more then liberal and tolerant, I have absolutely no prejudices, but these guys where scum, the absolute worst and so we better left to avoid any stress or damage.

But we can’t accept something like this without any kind of response, so we called the police and they arrived within minutes. They told the “lying twat of owner” to open the door, so that we can pack the rest of our stuff in peace, but they told us that there is no way we can return into the house.

I never thought that we will move some day with a police escort. 🙂

Fortunately a very good friend lives nearby,  we carried all our stuff to the place and we can stay there on the floor for a couple of nights, but nothing for long time.

Indy’s BLOG – Squat-Note

Email sent to owner.
“Hi,
XYZ is gone and for my part I will NOT leave tomorrow, because I have no place to go and I don’t go on the road. I do have a signed rental agreement with XYZ and this will prove that I do already live in the house for a certain time. I am a legal tenant and you can’t expel me with out an official order.
Feel free to call the police. Before you do so I will point you to this article:
I am very sorry for the inconvenience, but in this situation I have no choice. Stephan ripped me off and we need to live with the consequences. For my part I need to survive, I am diabetic and sick and I won’t make it on the road. Don’t misunderstand me, I understand your problems, but I am sorry for me it’s really about surviving and with you it’s just about money. I would be willing to discuss a rental agreement with you, maybe we find a way we both can agree on.
I apologize for the inconvenience
Regards
Vil”
Let’s see if this works.

Indy’s BLOG – Squatting Day TWO!

“Knocks at the door!”

Today we woke up with loud banging at the door! …

No One!

When Vil opened the door there was no one. We think it might was the landlord trying to enter the house and  we need to get used to it.

Status

We have still no idea where to go to when they throw us out. The guy who rented us the room bunked off to Athens yesterday, he found a new job there and left us in the house.

For the moment we are ok here and maybe we throw a party on Friday evening? 🙂

  • Energy – CHECK
  • Internet – CHECK
  • Water – CHECK
  • Sun – CHECK
  • Mood – CHECK 🙂

The Owner

Tonight the owner stood in front of the door. Vil told him that we won’t leave and go on the road. we paid our rent to the other guy and we rather wait for the police to arrest us, because then we have food and a warm place. 🙂 He didn’t believe, but Vil is dead serious.

Job

At 1600 Vil will had an interview for a position as Senior Digital Sales Consultant in Amsterdam. Cross fingers. Maybe the force will be with him this time.

So much so for today.
