Das Timing...

So all's well and I'm sitting here waiting for my confirmation letter from Konstanz, except...  I've been offered a job - at Amphenol in Heidelbronn, north of Stuttgart.  No interview, just an email saying they had a place and would I like it?  If they'd one that two weeks earlier it'd be fine.  Now I'm pretty sure I'm tied in so I'll have to turn it down, which is frustrating but I suppose that's life.  I just want that confirmation letter.
