To sign a lease for Germany I have to have a residency permit. To get my residency permit for Germany I have to have medical & liability insurance. To get medical & liability insurance for Germany I have to have a German bank account. To have a German bank account ... I have to be patient. Grr.

I spent some time, this morning, going through the various offerings from the recommended insurance company. Do I want to be insured worldwide, or just in the EU? Do I want coverage for accident-related vision aids? What about accident insurance? Do I plan ahead for perhaps becoming a work-seeker after graduation? What about medically necessary rehabilitation measures as a subsequent medical treatment prescribed by a physician? Some of these are mutually exclusive. And then, do I want to pay an additional Euro 17 per month for luggage insurance?

Man. It's complicated to plan for not having a job.

In related news, we're moving ahead at work and have posted one of ultimately two positions that will take on my work as I transition out and then depart. This is, frankly, huge progress, since 48 hours ago we didn't have agreement that anyone would be hired. 

94 days of work, 96 presumed days till departure, still no ticket.
