Q friday

Grey rainy Fridyas like this can be really depressing. This Friday is something special and is everything but depressing. It turnes out to be a quality Friday.

Morning started in an excellent way and mood and I still benefit from a lovely starter and breakfast now in the evening.

A drive to Arboga in rainy weather but with me as the best driver.... it was a good drive. Accompanied by the music chosen by my son ..well... fastes drive ever and i love to listen to my son, singing all the list music hits in his english way.

Some minor meetings including ordering the winter tire change .....
Picked up my mother for a lunch at A garden, calm and nice an my mother in a good mood... that s good.
Small check up in the hotel... agreement and discussions with the constructors regarding the water damage. Hugs and hellos to the employees...

Back to my apartment, enjoying and relaxing.... gosh... this apartment is one of the loveliest you can have, the location on the middle of the square is so great.

back to hotel for Friday coffee , out driving to order the material for the broken hotelroom...

Then... drive to the neighbour city for som bowling. Robin was really happy and eager about playing and we had a great time. Though... we missed two people in our team at lane no 9.

Back to Arboga, bought some bubbles and food.

Parking in the sofa, listen to the city hall bell and just enjoy the moment.

I feel happy, I feel strong and I just feel very much in love on a grey Friday like this.

/ have a great Friday

Choices...

Life is in some ways about making choices. Go for them, evaluate them, renew, cancel or just choose different and make new choices. To not choose is kind of a loose -loose situation to me.

The last years I have done many choices and I dont regret any of them. That would be stupid to do and i would very much be hard on myself.. But I have considered my choices and evaluated what made me making the choices i did and sometimes I have managed to surprise myself, mostly good but somtimes also not so very beautiful.


The choice to fight for the hotel business was a great choice, I am proud.

The choice to leave Nordea for something different... another great choice.

The choice to separate a second time with three children was another choice I did and it was a good one, win win to all, and mostly to myself. My sons would never forgive me for staying in a non healthy relationship and I would be the worst role model ever.

The choice to move back to Arboga, a choice that means so much I cant measure it. Just great happiness.

The choice to leave my kids in Stockholm, hard, good, controlled, but also some difficult.... but right, absolutely .....they choose this time as well and will learn to see the half full glass as I do. Its about love.

The choice to help a friend in some trouble regarding financials, scary,, but a friend is a friend, and next time i will need the help. Its about trust and friendship.

The choice to get back to my female minds and female friends for energy and great fun, great choice.

The choice to accept a dinner invitation by someone I did not know at all but just had a great feeling for.... good choice anna . Continue trusting the intuition.

The choice to choose a lovely man and lover for a great exiting future, best choice ever, all in. Jump and scream out loud the love and energy when there.

The choice to open my mouth, speak out loud and tell what I want and need. If I want something I will tell. If I dont.. i will make one of my non good choices ever.

And finally... one of my golden choices .... happiness. Truly, I choose happiness and You choose your own happiness and manage it as well.

Keep on making choices.

Love
Anna

Releaseparty... (ies) from different angels...

Yesterday I participated in a releaseparty of Annette Kullenbergs biografi of Marianne Höök. What an evening. I am very happy for my dear friend Annette, and she deserves it truly.

I will read the book asap .. and I will ask her to sign it when everything has been cooled down.

It was a great evening in many ways. Mostly related to the company with whom i could enjoy every second and just mingle around with. Not to forget the afterparty at the top of the skyline. Holy moses what a lovely sight...... :-).

Have look at Resume.se and you will find something really interesting in there.
You will also see the celebreties joining and that was great fun.

The final release party was kind of more unexpected and not so perfect...

This moring and evening there have been a smaller Spa in the hotel lobby due to some problem witht the pipes. Help me truly to get the strength for this as well.

Hello... how hard can it be really?

RAD race original-- 48 hours to go..

I experienced my first original RAD race in Hasselt Belgium this last weekend and I will truly recommend it to other countries, companies and also individuals. I will do my very best to inspire the Swedish IT industry with this kind of event.

Be inspired by the skilled developers in the competition.

http://www.radrace.org/en/index.html#

Ivan Verbourg the inventor and master of the RAD race is absolutely outstanding in his way of dealing with the whole event and all the people included.

I am very happy to have been invited to attend this event. It was great value and inspiration but also motivation to do something really good here in Sweden.

The Professor

Back in Sweden and back in Arboga again. Feels good but in one way not so very good. I have had some great days "on the road" in Holland and Belgien and it feels strange . I just did not want to step of the road. Never

It has been an exiting trip in so many lovely ways. Golden moments meeting people that have given memories to laugh at but also so consider some seriousity.

I met som professors during this trip and I just want to give them all an A ... i think they are all in different skills.

Ivan V, his professionalism and energy is world class and not to forget his hospitality, deserves a big black hat for that.

The jury members of the RAD race, the professors from different Universities were so kind of groovy. These old men still so much energy and IT skills and out of the box thinking, that was so great to experience. And curiosity of learning new things still. They could easily relax and live on their old successes but no no.... they were just so no professor as I could ever imagine. I will link the photos to the RAD race and you will also see the guys.

The exchange student from Rwanda, invited by the Belgien government who was an external visitor at the RAD race, same as me, was a very soft an lovely girl in her youngest and best ages, so hungry and also very controlled in her ambition and the coming two years. Truly good luck, you will be something girl.

The bartender/owner Robert who never hesitated one minute when I asked for Leffe blond glasses to bring home. .. no doubt we went back three nights for just experience the bar atmosphere but also bring some profit to their business. Ihope his "Björn Borg" wife kiss him goodnight every night as the Hasselt Leffe blond professor.


The truckdriver...a drunk, happy but anyway sad guy, who shook us some by not being able to deal with to much happiness. As much as our glasses were half full... his glass was kind of over full... all the time and it was not flowing with win - win and happiness.... but in one way I hope it was... hes just could not handle people like us. .... we managed without kicking his ass sometimes...even if he deserved it. A professor.... well.... maybe maybe not.

Mrs Betty ... at der Jachthorn.... what a place, what moments and what a woman. Purple hunter of Diepenbaek, some plastic but mostly real......I could have stayed another night in this magic house.

Finally... just to confirm, I want my own professor in life. A professor with all his skills, and maturity, and the glasses on the forehead, open for teaching , sharing and giving everything that is needed and important. But also the elegant and the playfulness of course.....And a golden open heart with a great smile and laugh ready to also receive a lot, but input from a curious and energetic pupil. hello!!!!!....to far away at the moment

Time for hotel check in.

Amsterdam...... the district

What a lovely day and lovely hours this regular Wednesday. I am writing from Amsterdam and a small little nice hotelroom this time. I have to admit I am totally filled with calmness and love and exitement about the comings.

A great start. The flight was nothing but a love trip ... true. Unf. it was a Boeing 737-700 and very narrow... but to stay close and just enjoy worked very fine. Asume.

A good business lunch with a professional business man and it is always good to have new influences on the way. It reminded me about my and our ambition to strengthen the Teamclinic and to get new and excellent assignment. But also... the Marketing and selling is far mor important than we realize.

Check in to the hotel. A small but ok hotel in a very very fancy area here in Amsterdam. Its on the street were you find all the luxury shops like Luis Vuitton , Gucci and the other friends around... but I can guarantee... they would never have checked in here. But it is clean and ok.

Out in the street walking. Damn I Love this city. Its fantastic with the canals and the atmosphere.

Walking around, enjoyed and did some Prosec vine and some tapas shopping for the mini conference starting up really soon.
Back to the hotel so very wet , it was really raining here and no umbreally. Only my lovely mood and that is so great.

Into the lovely shower, hot and great and into the bed....how nice.

Now I am ready for the evening and a minor lovely party. Its knocking on the door.

Welcome.

Living your values...Grand opening

Yesterday was kind of a flip and crazy day. The handover day at the hotel when I am supposed to check out, deliver all my achievements, describe my handovers and just make suer that my partner is well prepared for another week.

This Monday we had in kind of panic deciscion asked a restaruant consultancy to join us for one hour to support and mentor us in the strategy and ours plans.

To be honest... I did not have to much expectations of the meeting, but it turned out to be one of the most valuable spent money for some time in the hotel.

At least to me... and that is the thing. The whole attitude, the atmosphere and the feeling was kind of strange from minute 1 this day and I could not find the point.

I did my best to explain and also proudly tell some great results during the week,,, but nothing was good or positive in my partners ears.

Something was really wrong. The day turned out to be a bad day including some hard words, blamings and feedback given not in a way i normally do or that we have agreed on to do.

So.. back to the source of our values. Holy moses it is great to have stated our values about how to communicate, how to co-operate and everything else regarding our behavious and attitude.

It was good to point at our values and bring the question-- are we living our values?

The answer was just no.

In the middle of this everything we had the grand opening of our Restaurant Bakfickan this Monday.

Lucky us, we have our great chef Mats that works independently which made us out of this for some hours.

other wise you can just imagine to bring in the bad energy to the restaurant. Damn us for doing that in any way or case. Then we will be totally smoked.

So... end of day... packing the things.... time for goodbye... and a summary of the day.
Honest question from me, how does this feel now to leave each other in a bad mood and sad atmosphere?

Then..... all of a sudden I got the explanation about this fucking stupid day . My partner start crying, telling me she was in a shitty mood, her husband does not feel right and she actually did not want to go to work today. !!

Welll hello!! Why did you not tell me???

Time for a half full glass again thoughts.....?

Her answer..... I cant tell you about this the first thing?

But hello again! I require that you tell me this kind of thing as it almost killed our good relation this sad discussions during the day.

So.. more tears, understanding and a total paradigm shift.

One thing is for sure, if we, you or I want something to be said, just say it. No matter how painful it is. It feels much better to shout it out, no doubt.

To start living your values is far more complicated then to state them.

Dont you agree?

Good night, time for Amsterdam and Hasselt within a few hours. It will be asume.

Love
Anna

And yes, no private private .... that I will keep here . I will focus on the experiences and best practices from the ongoing work and I hope you will keep sending in questions about software development issues ... but as normally the answers and conclusions to some of the problems touch upon soft things as people management. Remember .. its all about people.

It s kind of easy to start up a company, well not to easy but anyway. The challenge is to get the first customer and to get others to realize the value about the service offered and to hire us.

Some people and companies realize that this foursome bring something extra and by hiring one of us, you get the rest as well.
