Oh well, a bit of English to keep my English readers informed of the whole flat story ! So, for those who did not follow, the landlord of the flat I had found decided not to sign the contract. I had 5 days to find a new flat. I found a room in a flat. Tiny but at least cheap.
When I arrived in Madrid, I had two suitcases. Then of course, I began to buy crap for the flat, clothes in India, ... so it quickly expanded to at least 3 suitcases. This morning, I brought the first two in my new room ... I'll empty one tonight and bring it back full tomorrow ...
I just had news from my contract ! yahoo ! So they called me to tell me I need to ask for a social security number ... But I did already one month ago (thanks Mica !!) so I could give them right away ! I think they are quite surprised with how fast I can find any paper they ask. They also want the NIE and told me it was weird I already had a social security number before having the NIE ... Oh well, I do not understand anything to the Spanish administrative system anyway !
For the contract, half of the way is done. Now apparently, there are just two steps left: the approval of the expense by the university and the payment. My boss is confident and think I might even sign this week ... we'll see ... |
