Trondheim

So I am visiting Trondheim, Norway this weekend. It was personal travel really. Or at least that is how it started out. A call from someone in IBM changed all of that, so I had to find the local IBM office in Trondheim and work a bit. It was all ok…just wish it wasn’t on my vacation day. Some talks with my career manager and that was also fun.

Anyway, after a 3 hour work session, a came back to Markus’ place. A nap (since I had been awake 05.30) and some dinner later (dinner was unique and good dinner requires a post of it’s own), we went out to Luna Lounge, a R&B place. It was nice too. Then we came back here and I was exhausted, so I went to sleep.

Oh yeah, and Flat Eric is still the best. puppet. ever. And you have to see The Family Guy episode where the mom becomes a model, the baby starts a pyramid scheme, cookie monster is in rehab, and the daughter is mistaken for a sea cow 🙂

I know y’all…I’m Lazy

I so owe you all an update to the public blogsphere. It’s just been so crazy, and I’ve been a bit lazy (when it comes to my personal life), my mind’s a bit hazy (from the drinking), but but if you wait a little longer you’ll see, a whole entire post that will read like poetry. 🙂

Love and Hugs to all 🙂

This Week in Copenhagen

So I have been in Copenhagen this week. Strangely enough, I have accomplished a lot of work this week, even though my job is most likely going to change. It is getting very strange to work in the Nordics because everytime they give me a new job to do, I simply just do not have enough time to get it done because they pull me back into other projects. So once again the organisation is re-organising around my area of work. I am told not to worry and that everything will be fine, but I am not given much of an understanding of what my role will be.

This gets frustrating. Everyone says that I have so much value to add, and certainly there are more requests for my time than I have time to give. But I can’t help but think that sometimes it would be easier to go work for my former x2 manager, where I have a job assignment waiting and a defined mission and the support for that mission.

I have also begun looking into this coverting to a local employee business. It seems like something that I could do, based on the comments that the business needed to cut costs. However, since a former colleague of mine is getting an 2 year assignment, I feel like they could afford one more year of me being on an assignment and then I could coinvert to a local employee for a year.

I don’t know.

The good news is that things outside of work has been going quite well.

Hmmm….

The Expatriate
Achtung! You are 23% brainwashworthy, 22% antitolerant, and 28% blindly patriotic
Congratulations! You are not susceptible to brainwashing, your values and cares extend beyond the borders of your own country, and your Blind Patriotism (“patriotism” for short) does not reach unhealthy levels. In Germany in the 30s, you would’ve left the country.

One bad scenario — as I hypothetically project you back in time — is that you just wouldn’t have cared one way or the other about Nazism. Maybe politics don’t interest you enough. But the fact that you took this test means they probably do. I’m gonna give you the benefit of the doubt.

Did you know that many of the smartest Germans departed prior to the beginning of World War II, because they knew some evil shit was brewing? Brain Drain. Many of them were scientists. It is very possible you could be one of them, depending on your age.

Conclusion: Born and raised in Germany in the early 1930’s, you would not have been a Nazi.

Ham I Am

the Ham
(42% dark, 46% spontaneous, 26% vulgar)
your humor style:
CLEAN | SPONTANEOUS | LIGHT

Your style’s goofy, innocent and feel-good. Perfect for parties and for
the dads who chaperone them. You can actually get away with corny
jokes, and I bet your sense of humor is a guilty pleasure for your
friends. People of your type are often the most approachable and
popular people in their circle. Your simple & silly
good-naturedness is immediately recognizable, and it sets you apart in
this sarcastic world.

Make It Count!

So after being so drunk last night that I stayed in, I have decided that today will be the day that I go out and party. And it shouldn’t be an impossible thing to do. Sebastian is in town, and I just chatted with Chris and he is coming down the Copenhagen Pride as well. So this is all coolness. And I have some Danish friends that I have to go and meet. So this should be a pretty awesome time tonight. I just have to make sure not to drink too much again! 🙂

It’s the last night…make it count! 🙂
