We have an office!

Actually, we have had an office for a while… but today I was told to tell the world about it. I now realize that blogging is not at all what I expected it to be… somewhere to share your most secret feelings about life itself. Forget about it. This blog is where I write what people tell me to write. I get subtle messages from others – mainly Daniel –, telling me what to write and when to write it. “People want to hear about the office”, he told me recently. I guess I should give everyone the same opportunity, so if you want me to blog about something… anything I guess… just send a request to oskar@needish.com.

If you happen to be emotionally attached to this project, I will most definitely obey your wish. So, what about the office? I don’t know! I haven’t seen it yet but rumours say it has a printer, some furniture, some computers, at least one server AND some people using it.

What else? I resigned from work last Friday and now I can’t wait to go to Chile. I am trying to convince myself that June is the perfect month to leave Sweden and go to Chile, but it’s hard. It’s really hard because I know June is the worst month to leave Sweden for Chile. Finally summer after thousands of months of cold and dark and rain and television-depression… and I fly across the world to experience it again without calefacción central. What’s that all about anyway? Of all the bad things, Santiago can present in June the total absence of central heating, is by far the most frustrating.

Santiago in winter is like freezing just a little bit all day long. So, when Daniel is proudly telling me about printers in the office I wonder; what about electric heaters? I rather read from the computer-screen feeling happy and warm, then freeze like hell with a printed paper in my hand. It’s all about priorities for a start-up company like ours. When go to market? What market? Should this and that functionality be part of version 1.0 or not?

Printer… or electric heating… it’s obvious if you ask me. // Oskar (who - by the way - is extremely NEEDISH)
