Fracas Noir – Susanne Waldau – te Brake ~ for better or worse

Forget Indian Summer, and say hello to pouring rain and cold Eastern winds. I found myself staring at a summer wardrobe filled with flimsy dresses and kitten heeled shoes. No other solution than do bring a whole load of winter and autumn gear from the near forgotten, mahogany cupboard upstairs. In the end I settled [...]

Life rarely turn the way we expect. In my own case perhaps more so than others. I’ve been told I’m drawn to trouble, and recently a friend of mine (once a very close one) told me “Susanne you will never change”. A single line in an otherwise empty email, poignantly ended our friendship. I considered [...]

It’s been the day from hell. I literally feel like my brains have been fried, a la something out of Hannibal Lecter’s kitchen. I’m trying to come to terms with if this is just a surreal dream or if it is real life. I’m one week away from my holidays but nowhere near what needs [...]

I rush to the station, half running in a pair of Hugo Boss black pattent leather shoes. Comfortable? No. Sexy? Yes…albeit understated. I know, I will be late for the office yet again. Nearly missing my first meeting. And then comes the excuses which by now starts to sound like a broken record. “I really [...]

Finally in bed after another non-stop day. 2 meetings down, administration and a near empty inbox I am ready to leave for Cologne tomorrow for GamesCom. Although my schedule is completely open for once, I look forward to some good parties, networking and bumping into familiar faces from the games industry. Sebastian and Victoria are [...]

It’s been a pretty hectic week. Back to back meetings, followed by catching up on deadlines and sporadic attempts to clear my email backlog. I’m not as fanatic as I used to be, and have curbed my desires to work past midnight. But still when I finally hit the sack sometime in the 11th hour [...]

At work, so little time for a longer blog entry but here comes some pictures from the day! Birthday girl got lucky!! Morning essentials My colleagues celebrated me at lunch….sweet I got “A touch of Sunrise” from Rituals Happy camper! Nice smell too… Healthy lunch at my desk

I’ve been thinking about my professional career, business, my future if you like… Whilst not completely stuck in a rut, it wouldn’t suffer from getting a bit of a revamp, and I humbly admit I have got a lot to learn. So I’ve decided to set up personal career program for myself to look at [...]

It’s summer time and with summer time comes summer scheduled. Trains and buses are reduced to an hourly (and if your lucky a 30 minute) schedule. With my luck I miss the bus by 2 minutes. And this because the train was delayed by 5. I had set the alarm clock to 6.30 am as [...]

18.06 and finally on my way home. An ordinary day in every sense of the word. 1.2 meetings, a number of emails and the start of a lengthy Project Definition Document. At 5 pm my energy level started to wane and despite blueberries, nuts and cold black coffee I couldn’t sustain my creativity level. I [...]
