The root of all evil...
No, not women... money. So I am starting week 4 here and it still hasn't been decided who should be covering my expenses. I thought everything was all set since I had gotten my HR guy to fill out expense reports for the first three weeks. At the end of last week he asked me though about a cash advance I'd gotten from the US. I explained what it was and why it was a bad idea for me to use my ATM card etc... and he agreed and said he would follow up on it. So today I give him a call saying it's time for my next withdrawal for food. His response, oh I need to contact the US about this issue since I don't know who is paying your expenses. Apparently if you need something done here you have to continuously harass whomever you need help from. I only have €40 left and that doesn't go very far... Oh well, Berlin this weekend!

Wow, your company sounds like a clusterf**k (edited for the kiddies LOL). Who just sends an employee off to another country with absolutely no plan for reliable transportation, a permanent place to stay, and a plan for handling basic expenses like food? When you get back you should search jobs in the Denver area! I'm certain a smarty pants engineer like you could find something.
