Keep Smiling

Hi All,
         We have had a crap week. I thought I would get some of it out of my system by blogging about it. On an awfulness scale of 1-10 this week rates about a 3 so it wasn't that bad - just annoying. What happened?

• Car overheated and cost $300 to fix
• Flew to Washington and SAS lost my baggage
• Got stuck in traffic for 6 hours on an interstate in the US
• Was late to a meeting without the things I took to show (they were in my bags)
• Got charged $1000 for data on my phone as a backup prop for my meeting
• Got notice that our landlords are returning to Stockholm and would like us to move out a year early
• Lost my phone in a taxi at Dulles airport
• I am now horribly jet-lagged

On the flip side there were/are some good things:

• I got my phone back (for a reward of $160)
• The meeting went well (how did that happen?)
• My car now works
• I met some interesting people
• We have a long weekend back in Sweden
• We got the second proof copy of the print version of 5ITCTW-Issue 1

So you can see that things were pretty annoying but not really THAT bad. It all just happened in a 72 hour period where one thing seemed to pile on top of another. I hope that my little list above make YOU feel better. Things could always be worse, in my case I'm sticking with a 3 out of 10 - nobody was hurt and nothing happened that cannot be fixed.

Thanks for reading.

Pete
