Today a coworker told me, that he and another coworker want to set up a betting pool. That seemed a bit odd to me, as said other coworker is the companies finances guy. But then again, I guess you just use the lottery to pay for dreams and hopes. That reminded me of one of my earliest childhood memories: my mother and little me standing in a small ( Read more... )

... that I was in Helsinki, for some reason. In that dream Helsinki was, however, on the western part of the Scandinavian Peninsula. While I was in Helsinki in a tram or subway, I thought I saw out of the corner of my eye Meghan, but I ignore that.

I now got the largest team (ok, just six people, but still) of the company, and also the most heterogenic team.

The one is just a cut that quickly stopped bleeding, but at the other finger a piece of skin was ripped off. That by now also stopped bleeding.
