Cows are big, strong and heavy, and docile dogs can also kill. Any kind of caution around things large or feisty enough to kill you is healthy.

The first time I was ever put through a metal scanner and a pat down was when landing at an airport in the UK. Mind you, this was before 2001, but any traveler complaining was given dirty looks or pulled aside, one of my co-travelers was pulled aside and his luggage was searched and he was more thoroughly searched and questioned for a while (can’t remember exactly how long, but it delayed us for a conference and we were too late for our hotel check in, so we had out of pocket expenses).

I guess borders are a bottle neck…

View from central Stockholm towards the island Djurgården, where an amusement park and museums are visible.

Side note: the picture was taken the day after a roller coaster accident had occurred. The park was closed for some time.

Edit: maybe the image isn’t suitable for February, as this was taken in June.

As a last ditch attempt to avoid bankruptcy someone in management decided to join a MLM program to “raise further money”. Which involved lots of household chemicals that we were supposed to sell to clients at the same time as we were doing our actual jobs (both unpaid).

So much hope for further studies. It’s such a cruel condition.

The IT startup I worked at went from providing free food, snacks and beverages to bringing in management consultants clocking hundreds of dollars per hour and finally investing in tonnes of household chemicals while they couldn’t afford to pay our wages. I think they went through bankruptcy at least three times while I worked there, before the former CEO and CTO fled the country.

Edit: The VC’s were in cahoots with the management consultants. No idea if they were involved with the household chemicals. The fools who invested in the IPOs however were fucked over twice.
