Open spaces

The new O offices in Stockholm have been shaped up by a famous Swedish design firm. The concept is great: open spaces without having the feeling of working in a cafetaria.

Some people complain about it since they cannot concentrate with the constant noise around them. Since I have worked in open spaces for as far as I know it, I have found a way of blocking this all out.
But, ..... the open spaces have another disadvantage. Today J mailed in sick. This means that out of our tiny (still to be expanded department) 40% is ill . They should install some kind of a system that sucks out the bad bacils out of the air.

Developpers of special machinery: come up with the idea and O will be your first customer.

After work

It has been a while, but I'm back. I'm making long hours and I still have to get my internet sorted out at home. This will all come in due time, but it is taking me more time than I had expected.
Yesterday evening would have been a no-go anyhow. Had dinner with K and M in the Belgo restaurant here in Stockholm. The burger was OK. The Leffe on the other hand: it felt like little angels genlty sliding into my body. Heaven. Wat a difference to the other beer I have already had.

This afternoon I will be in meeting all day. It looks to be the story of this month.
