This post is meant for people who want to know what it will be like to enter the Federal Employment Office for the first time. Of course, this will be a purely subjective story.

I will go to Sardinia for 2,5 weeks in August.
I recently changed my bank accounts, and the new one gave me a free Visa card.
All is well for renting a car, right?
