Scheduling Nightmares

Those of you (all 2 of you, probably) who have been following our moving preps know that we were originally supposed to move on August 5th. You may have noticed that we are still in Philadelphia. This begs... um... lots of questions. Foremost among them, though, is what the heck is going on.

A complete description of my woes is not possible without an explanation of German tax law that I'm not inclined to provide. Suffice it to say that my work permit is still being processed. It hasn't helped that my evil overlords didn't submit the necessary paperwork until last month. I'm further hindered by the fact that the whole country of Germany appears to be on vacation this month.

So, the schedule that I do know. Our movers come on August 22nd. Our household goods will be moved to an undisclosed US warehouse until our paperwork is processed. Curiosity makes me wonder where that warehouse will be. Probably in some "gritty-sounding" place like Newark. Who ever goes to Newark anyway? I digress.

In the interim, we will live *somewhere*, I will work *somewhere*, and the kids will go to school *somewhere*. Right now, we are giving priority to determining the *somewhere* where the kids will go to school.

The location of the "Lost Ark" springs to my mind... Where is Indiana Jones when you need him!
