Is this some kind of German hex?

I'll start as soon as we find a place, well after the missus has given her two weeks notice, she wants her monthly incentive, don't blame her....and if we can't find a place quickly, they'll sort it so I get paid full time and telecommute, working half time till we sort a place out.

For me, the best bit, well apart from the job, I get 21 days paid holiday from day one and I get paid public holidays on top, plus 8 sicko days before having to get a docs note....medicals all paid up an all...oh and there going to pony up the money we'll lose on the deposit on this place for not giving a months notice and they'll stump for a deposit on a new place and pay for professional movers, and apparently I get a sign on bonus, but that and final salary will be finalised on Friday, though I'm getting at least 3K more than was on offer when I interviewed with them over the new year.

So checked out more towns in the area while we were there...really liked Sudbury, and from what we saw of Marlborough, which wasn't much, thought that was a bit of a hieve, better than Lawrence, but then Lawrence is about as much fun as the clap in a tarts boudoir.

Looking at more info on Brighton, Allston? Summerville, Newton, Watertown, Arlington and Waltham, so if anyone has the low down, that'll be appreciated.

And also thanks for all the input in the other threads guys, much appreciated
