Herr Mike in Deutschland

I am starting to get my first real tasks in my job, which is good because it means I am not so bored but it is now starting to feel like a job. I answered my first call today and the guy on the other end spoke super deutsch. Thankfully I managed to answer the phone in the correct way (gruss gott, literally meaning greet god, is used along with saying Siemens AG (Auf deutsch Ah, Gay - it means limited company) understood what he wanted and replied auf deutsch. I then patted myself on the back (metaphorically). I then took a call from an irate polish woman though she spoke english so the abuse was bearable. Not much else to report, just pleased to have survived my first week!!
