Hey, Bill! I hear they're going to send you to Germany for the new project.<br />Boy, news travels fast around here. I only got the orders a couple of hours ago. Rachel doesn't even know.<br />Oh, no? So what are you waiting for? When do you plan to tell her?<br />Well, she's at work at the moment. She doesn't finish until five. I'll have to wait until tonight now, I suppose.<br />Well, I was posted there before, back in 2008. It's okay. A bit like England, really.<br />At least the weather's similar, and the people aren't much different.<br />The only thing I didn't like is the food, especially the sausages. What do you intend to do about the family?<br />Are you going to take them with you?<br />Well, I'd like to, but I don't know much about the situation at the moment. You know, about schools and all that.<br />But I hope to move the family out there in a couple of months' time. I don't think I want to spend a year and a half out there on my own.<br />I mean, without Rachel and the kids. I mean, I don't see that much of them now as it is.<br />Yeah, well, that's the way it is normally in our company, I suppose.<br />Yeah, well, we'll see. Let me pay for the coffee.<br />No, no. I'll pay.<br />Hey, Bill. I hear they're going to send you to Germany for the new project.<br />Boy, news travels fast around here. I only got the orders a couple of hours ago.
