Today was my first day at work. I met Anders who is my host here at Umetrics. We sat down over some good strong coffee and started talking and did not stop until late last night. We are getting along great here. A few things about the workplace here. People come in and take off their shoes and wear sandles ( glad I brought my slippers! ). One woman brings her little dog to work. He snuggles under her desk while she is typing. Everyone comes down at mid morning for coffee and mid morning snacks. The workplace is professional, quiet and focused. The office furnishing looks a bit like Ikea. I wonder why??? I can officaly say the the Swedes do eat meatballs for lunch, they are delicious. The meatballs not the Swedes.....
