Karl Back to the index

So, it’s the end of my first week of work here in Stockholm. I’m sorry for the half-arsed posts, but I’ve been really busy, thus really tired.

I have hit the ground running. I am caught up in a new project for EA which is quite massive, and I’ve spent most of my time developing plug-ins for jQuery, which is really exciting for me as I do enjoy component work. Lots of little tiny projects that turn over quickly keep the days rolling fast and the hunger to develop strong.

My new team totally rock. A very (very) talented bunch of people who are experts in their respective fields, whether it be Flash Developer, Designer, Producer, HR, Office Manager, whatever, people are here because they love it, you can see it when you walk in.

One of the best things about working at F-I and I guess Stockholm in general is the no-shoes custom. It’s much like Japan (excluding restaurants and bars) where when you enter the office or home, you remove your shoes.  It certainly makes for a lot of sliding around hardwood floors and comfort when sitting on your ass all day. I guess the real reason is that you don’t drag snow and slush through the entire office or house.

I can dig it.

As for the picture on the right here. This is my work MSN list. If there was any better way to keep thinking about you-know-who (and who needs to be reminded really… miss you!), then this is it.

The weather has been dry these past few days, and hopefully it stays this way on the weekend so I can clock a few K’s on the pushie. I have a nice 20km round trip which gets the heart started, so I look forward to that.

I also will be joining a gym very soon as absolutely no exercise is getting done. It’s all work, eat, sleep, work, eat, sleep, and, in the dark! I need to start exercising or I’m going to blow up like a led zeppelin.

Now that I have my AU -> EU adapter, I can shoot lots of photos for you all. I promise to get a nice set down after the weekend is out.

Stay in touch.
