Business and stuff

Opening my private business turned out to be one of the best decisions in my life. Not just because my income is not limited with pretty much fixed monthly salary, but because of freedom. It's true that responsibilities to my clients are maybe even bigger than they were before towards my employer but I'm much more satisfied as I have the feeling of having all the strings in my hands.

But of course, like every thing, there is also a downside. There is no real vacation like before, when you just forget about your work and let clients be boss's problems. Also, if you decide to be on the lazy side for a while - the money doesn't come in. Always it is necessary to plan far ahead and if I get sick for a longer period I can loose most of the clients, since I'm alone. Expanding the company brings extra problems and need for an office space and increased monthly expenses...

These days I got an offer, which seems to be pretty good, for a job. It is going to be a hard decision to make, if the offer it too good to refuse...

On the other side another offer came, which means not only changing the town, like in the first one, but also changing the continent.

It is going to be an interesting year...

Greatest band ever

Lately I've been listening to Beatles again - in the car, while working, watching their concerts, I even watched Yellow submarine the movie. It is unbelievable how popular they still are. On YouTube their videos have millions of views and almost every minute on at least one of their videos one comment is made saying "I love this song" or "I love Beatles" or "amazing" etc. And that's only on YouTube. And this is mostly younger generation. On last.fm - site, which tracks what people listen, The Beatles are on 2nd place for LAST WEEK. Last week - a band from 60's.. and I think most of the weeks are like that. Overall they have a huge lead of played songs and are far most listened band on the world, still...
Every second, many people in the world are made happy by a Beatles song. What an achievement it is!

I wanted to put my favorite Beatles song here, but I can't decide, there are at least 15 favorites!

stupid

Why am I at 2:30 AM reading blogs and watching videos on YouTube, since I'm having a meeting tomorrow at 9:00 and I still have 3 hours of work, I really don't know...

Hmm, if I finish everything I'll have about 1 hour of sleep left. How nice.

Almost every Sunday turns out like that, when weekend job gets done at last minute. When will I ever learn....

Unmögliche machen wir sofort, für die Wundern brauchen wir etwas zeit.

...

My loyal computer crashed today after many years or reliable service. I'm suspecting it's only the power converter. If it's hard disk, I'm screwed. I'll back up tomorrow, I kept on saying to myself...

Orange shake

Since I gave up smoking long time ago, this is how I kept my hands busy on "smoke breaks" :D
