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

I find it hard writing on a regular basis. Time is so short, and even if I try to optimize and cut corners those strategies starts to look like futile attempts solving something much more inherent. Yesterday was such a day, waking up at 8 (I overslept…mental note to buy a new alarm clock this [...]

I’m in bed not feeling well at all. A looong day, hours in traffic, a cancelled meeting, a great prokect kick-off….and I’m beat. Well I was suppose to upload my little blog post of todays happenings hours ago, but as I fell a sleep shortly after 9 pm, here is it in unrevised format… Thursday [...]

Finally tucked up in bed after a hot shower. Like most Monday’s it’s been pretty full on starting with an early 9 am conference call. As Caroline was cleaning the house (it’s becoming ever more cluttered with shoes, handbags and other female paraphernalia) and sorting out my mess of about 20 books laying scattered across [...]

The day is coming to a close and despite having lost my way to work, I eventually arrived…half an hour late…and very cold. I love my new office, spacious, nice view and a lot of light. Meetings and research has been the theme of today, and an ever growing action list. I’m not complaining, this [...]

It’s always exciting when you start a new job. Butterflies in your stomach, you know your first weeks are what counts. You want to give a good impression to your colleagues, walk that extra mile, and keep output at a constant flow. It’s also a buzz, new people, new challenges and definitely some new objectives [...]

It’s always a bit of a hassle to start blogging again after a break. Weeks have gone by. Where do you start? Friends and business acquaintances have started to drop you lines and skype messages inquiring if everything is all right. So I’m going to set the record straight… Firstly, despite suffering fourfold from flu, [...]

I haven’t been blogging for days now, but as work, life and getting ill again (the third time in as many weeks!!) took over, there was little energy left. I’ve come down with something of a stomach bug (I suspect something similar Sebastian just came out of). So once again, I’m in bed working. I [...]

It’s been a long and cumbersome road to the launch of OnlineSalsa.com, but it’s been definitely worth it. With a limited budget, and only spare time on our hands to manage the project, we are now close to the official launch. It’s great to see the site coming together, and the team to work incredibly [...]

Finally done with work for the evening! I’m now on the couch, relaxing, watching Criminal Minds and eating low calorie ice lollies….*bliss*. Sebastian is finally better having been ill for almost a week now. Au contraire Reinout is in bed with with what seems to be the first symptoms of a(nother) flu. It’s been a [...]

Just finished off work, after a long day doing a million thing inbetween preparing a contract template. Although I have no legal background, I’ve written so many contracts in the last years that I’ve become a bit of an expert on the subject. Still it’s boring as hell and only 4 cups of coffee could [...]
