The main discussion in the coffee room today was the dire budget and the circus-like government in California. Yes, the news made it to Germany. People here are genuinely surprised that the Governator has ordered state workers to take 3 days of unpaid furlough every month. The University of California system may enforce a 8% pay cut across the board. Depending on the final decision, I may see the cut as soon as I return from the sabbatical (although my salary is paid for by federal grants, and not state fund).
But we are going to enjoy our last month in Germany. Tomorrow we will head to München (Munich) and Salzburg for a week.
