Today, it's been three weeks since I moved to Germany with my own money, after my company's offices in Spain shut down. I was given a job at the headquarters here, only to have just found out that the whole company is now set to go into liquidation. FML

Aw, that sucks. Come to Cologne! We got plenty of jobs here and in the meantime it's the best place to hang around because everybody will treat you like their best friend ;)

At least, Germany is a good country in a vey good economical situation, unlike Spain. Since you're already there, time for a new beginning.

There are these sites on the Internet called search engines. If that's too high tech, you could always try a dictionary :)

You would really rather post a comment like that than Google it? You should feel dumb.

Liquidation is the process of selling off company assets to pay creditors in preparation for the finalization of bankruptcy proceedings and the shut down of a company.

41, spoon-feed much? Providing the answer just discourages the initiative to do one's own research.

I always thought liquidating was to melt objects down and store them in containers for storage, later solidifying them to normal again... But then I went to school and learned I was an idiot. The store "Liquidation World" confused the hell out of me.

I'll bet you'll miss the burritos, the tequila and the Mayans!

#36, just setting out the bait and seeing if I get any bites. Gotcha!

Wait, Spain doesn't have tequila? Those poor, unfortunate souls.

#42, they may, but they import it from Mexico, which is located on the continent of North America. Spain, on the other hand, is part of Australia.

No it isn't. It's the 8th according to the 2012 list, the Scandinavian countries are way ahead, the UK and Ireland beat it too.

Even so, Germany is still pretty high up there economicly.

When have you ever lost one thing and had it replaced with something lesser? Stay open, have patience and be vigilant for your next opportunities. You have come to the place, so be aware of the people and things around you: therein lie your next opportunities.

Oh please don't tell me you actually believe that something lost always results in something better coming along. That is magical thinking and not how the world works.

Spain to Germany would be a 2-3,5 hour flight depending on where in Germany and where in Spain you'd fly from/to. By bus it'll take a little more than a day.
