It's been a busy month; after the two week renovation of my toilet and shower, I went on another international worktrip. I flew to Bucharest, Romania for a one week conference (where I presented three proposals and three briefs!). Beforehand I had one day to explore the old town and in the middle of the week we got a tour of the Parliamental Palace ( Read more... )

Last week(end) I traveled on the Eurostar to England for another businesstrip. I had a day of rest before work, and I decided to visit a part of London that had been on my to-see list for a while: Greenwich Park, the site of the Royal Observatory - the home of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and the Prime Meridian of the world. The trip there and back ( Read more... )

Two weeks ago I went on another international businesstrip; this time I had a week of day long meetings in Strasbourg, France! I had one day to wander around town and for group activity we went on a boattrip:) There were two days when the meetings lasted until 7 p.m., but on the final day I did have some time to check out the inside of the Notre- ( Read more... )

I'm back! Since my last post in February, I have been very busy with work, preparing for another businesstrip... At the end of March I flew to New Zealand for a five day meeting in Auckland:) After that, I traveled around for a few days and on the way home I visited my brother and his family in Australia. Here's the first of the picspams from my ( Read more... )

I would have been squeeing ahead of time, but I don't really want to advertise when I'm leaving my home;) At the end of January I went on another international businesstrip! I had a weeklong working-session in Paris, where I spent all days in a meeting-room having heated discussions with other geodata nerds \o/ It was brilliant:) We did get out of ( Read more... )

It's been over a month when I posted my first picspam of my worktrip to the Czech Republic (aka Czechia) [ LJ]. This is part two, which starts after the final morning of the conference, when I had a whole afternoon to explore the hills of Mikulov. It has lots of chapels on a holy hill, awesome views, butterflies and a batcave with the most adorable ( Read more... )

Well, it's been a *month*, pfff. At the end of March, just before I was going to travel for work, I overextended my already painful shoulder to the edge and had to see a physical therapist who told me what I already knew for some time: that I needed to take a break, haha. No time for that yet, because I had an international geodata conference in ( Read more... )

As I'm working on finishing my SPN_J2_BigBang artworks, here is a set of graphics I made last week for another round in the landofart challenge Hide & Seek, where you create graphics based on given themes. Each piece you make is a vote for that theme to be included in the next round. I don't really have a prefered winner, so for round 5 I also spread my ( Read more... )

This week I've returned to the office to train new employees and it's been physically exhausting as I usually start the day standing during a long presentation and then spend the rest of it walking around answering questions. Most evenings I barely managed to eat a bowl of yoghurt before I fall asleep on the couch. It's been mentally rewarding ( Read more... )

Update on life: last week I went back to the office for three days (after working from home since the "Intelligent" Lockdown started in March). I got to assist with job interviews and was responsible for testing candidates, which had to be done in person. Normally we would invite all candidates on one day with multiple people testing them. But with ( Read more... )
