deserted
so what's happened here?? Nothing going on on the other side?down here in Swiss-land, things are definitely different. Some initial observations.
1) When you leave an apartment here, you take the lights with you. Not just the shades, but all the fixtures, fittings and wiring. So essentially all that's left for the new tenant is a hole in the ceiling. Quite bizarre.
2) Women pay TWICE AS MUCH for mandatory healthcare than men. How unfair!?!
3) Apartments don't have washing machines. Instead, you gather your small things a couple of times a month for the laundry ritual, which involves usually taking a lift down to the bomb-proof basement of your block and trying to figure out the Swiss-German washing machine instructions. That's if you're lucky and haven't missed your slot on the rota, and then you probably have to wait until next month when it's your time again. We've already been warned of the consequences of coming into the office unwashed.
4) The Swiss *really* like cheese and chocolate - fortunately not at the same time.
More coming soon.

Happening? Happening??? Everything's happening here, all at bloody once.
I have a list of things to do and it's as long as the guest list to a Hefner party, and as dishevelled.
I'm dealing with nightmare Australian woman who likes our Webby stuff and wants some more, with stakeholders who couldn't throw a pissup in a brewery, and trying desperately not to swear down the phone at agencies.
And it's the Christmas Party tonight. And I'm sat next to the director. Joy of all joys. My head is going to explode.
point 1) What? surely that's dangerous?
2) And that's odd
3) Erk, nightmare. Mind, you have enough clothes to cover a blue whale, surely? Or did you travel light?
4) I've tried chocolate and cheese at the same time and it's not too gut-wrenching.
I know Bossman and myself are missing our Jedi - I hope everything's well otherwise.
oh dear... I'm not even going to begin to allude to how amazing and refreshing it is to be in a company where stakeholders know exactly what they're doing, the environment is zen and you get free stuff. Loads of it. Not least food.
I would feel almost apologetic, if I wasn't so smug.
