if it weren't for venetians blinds it would be curtains for us all

I had to get up a little early this morning to get to the bank to figure out how I need to change my account to be able to do laundry at the dorm--I got it figured out in less than 30 seconds, so I had some time to kill...didnt want to be at work too early ya know?  I stopped at a little private bakery and got a big roll with cheese melted all over it.  The first few bites were really good but after walking around with it (it was snowing this morning) it got a little cold and lost its novelty.  

Work went well and Mo and I got a lot of work done on our project.  We had a review at the end of the day with all the other designers to help us pick a few final directions to move ahead with, and at the end, Roland mentioned to Mo and I to watch our hours on this project and not give it too much time.  Pretty much--don't make it perfect--the client isn't paying that much.  It is the first time that I have had to watch how much time I spend on a project based on what a client has payed for--but im sure not the last.  Christian, Klemens, Mo, and I are getting really good at ping pong and you can probably here us playing in the next building over.  We all get really excited and now that our rallies are getting better there are lots of theatrics involved.

Lunch was tasty again with more salmon, but the discussion was much more filling.  Klemens never runs out of wierd stories or questions about america so we are always entertained.  Today he was explaining his dreams of making one really great product and selling the concept to a company--and then they would pay him royalties for the rest of his life.  He kept saying "10 cents a day"... and lunch ended with us calculating how much money you would have in 20 years if you saved a certain amount of money every day.  I am really excited that I will be with these guys for another 5 months.
