I had a cold

January 30, 2007 at 3:08 PM

Today I was sneezing a lot. I think I had a cold. Although it was 24,2 degrees at our office I took on my coat and cloves and my cap. A colleague brought a stove and made 2 photo's. Near my left ear is my radio, which did not disturb other persons, who are listening to popmusic on their radio (always Sultans of Swings, Dire Straight, 10cc dreadlock holiday, In the air tonight Phil Collins). I just was listening to the 5th SYMFONY of BRUCKNER and was concentrating on my work. Great music and I have played it.

That is such a Euro office building--complete with that recognizably european flooring and the open group setting.

American offices tend to have glue-down walltowall carpet, and "cubicles" which are ugly carpet covered partitions. And the rugs get dirty and coffee stained and the vacuums just blow the dust around and so everyone gets sick from it.

Between the look on your face in the first photo and your choice of Bruckner's 5th to listen to, the answer to your question has to be YES.

Yes, you are a little strange, especially in that first picture! LOL I must say though you are strange in a GOOD way. :)

I always thought you were a machinist, but you're some kind of chair jockey.

I think you look very sexy in bright orange. ;-)
