Aromas

by

I have a very sensitive nose. This sometimes makes travelling in public transport a problem. Fast food combined with overperfumed people and sweat.  I remember having business appointments in the morning, shaking hands with men who had just poured aftershave all over them, leaving residue on their hands. I would smell it hours after they … Read more

Getting Away from Screen

by

I’m busy, way too busy. Partly, this is my own fault. I’m starting too many projects at the moment, and there’s a lot of client work going on as well. As the weather is terrible at the moment (storm, rain, cold), I don’t feel much urge to go to the garden either. Lucky me, my other … Read more

No clean desk policy

by

I’m not very good at maintaining a clean desk. At some point, papers pile up. Especially when I’ve been travelling. I think the main problem with this is, that I don’t have dedicated space for some things. Last weekend, I got myself a new desk. I finally replaced the old dining table, that once belonged … Read more
