Bonn, Cologne, Germany, Luxembourg

From the 21st of December until the 3rd of January I was away on holidays, first in Bonn, then to Cologne, back to Bonn, and then to Luxembourg, then Bonn and then back to Stockholm.  I stayed at a friend's place.  Unfortunately I caught a cold on my first day of vacation and so I spent Christmas day sick as well.  We did have a Christmas German dinner prepared by my friend's mother which was nice.  Too bad I was so sick I couldn't fully appreciate the food.

A Merry German Xmas.

Why to not work in a startup in Sweden (part 4)

This is part 4 of 4 on the positives and negatives on working in a startup in Sweden.  You might wish to read about part 1 first.

As mentioned previously the timeline leading to today have caused me to leave the Titanic.  Here I describe the actual exit interview "process" that I had.  It wasn't really much of a process.

Late last year I resigned from the Titanic.  At first I informed the CEO ("Weeny"), my first sentence to him was something like "This is going to be hard to say." and his immediate response was "You're resigning.".  He wasn't surprised in any manner, which made me seriously wonder how many other unannounced resignations will be taking place.  He also said that the entire team will have to be rebuilt which makes me wonder if "Pushkin" (also known as the pet Russian of the Macedonian dubbed "Mocka") in the company is also thinking about leaving.  I informed him that I wanted my last day to be in mid-February and he said it was fine and he would talk to the owner.

Secretly that's what everyone is thinking.
